Going to the Bama/LSU game, it'll be my first time in Tuscaloosa, I know nothing about the town or Bryant Denny Stadium. Any advice on where to park? I assume they'll be nearby homes/businesses who'll let you pay to park in their yard? Any advice on the best way to get back to I-20 after its over?

Look for riverside dr a little ways behind publix. You'll have to pay but you'll be in easy striking distance of the stadium

The easiest way to have a quick exit back to 20 is to park park downtown or close to it. 69/Lurleen Wallace runs through downtown basically, and it connects with 20. Depending on when you arrive, there should be places to park downtown, and the walk to the stadium isn't bad at all.

Easiest thing would be to pay to park on or near campus (will be 40-50 bucks).
There's a parking deck downtown that has free parking, but I have no idea if it fills up for game weekends or not.

When you leave, head south and turn on 15th street, to I-359, to I-20/59

Oh and Gallettes is a must before the game.

Agreed on downtown.
it is not a bad walk. there are some good bars in temerson square/Greensboro/Government Square to ease the walk a bit. Overall safe area to park your car and the traffic getting back onto the interstate is easy.
Stay away from McFarland. All the Bham Day trippers take this route. and McFarland is horrible after a game.
wont be as bad in the next few years as they are planning to build a highway that will go directly to Lake Tuscaloosa. Will allow people to use Jack Warner Parkway more when exiting Ttown.

Google "Tuscaloosa Magnet School". The school allows people to park in both their lot and on a large lawn area next to it for only $10. It's only about a 300 yard walk to the shuttle bus stop next to the softball stadium that drops you off at the Quad. The best part is that it's an EXTREMELY easy spot to get out of heavy traffic after the game. I've parked all over campus over the years and this is by far the best place that I've found to park.

Park at Central High School around the corner of 15th St. and 10th Ave. It may cost $20, but it's worth it. It is only half a mile from the stadium. When leaving, take 10th Avenue and get on 359 South. That will take you to I-20/59 in less than half a mile. You can be out of town in no time.

We parked in one of those huge grass lots off University for $10 right before the Frat houses and rode the Bus into campus. Was actually not that bad getting off campus afterwards.
Edit: It was the grass lot off 4th street by the Health Center.

I do this. Its a bit of a haul on the walk but if weather is nice etc you can have a few beers walking to the stadium and it isn't bad

Take the 15th street exit and park near downtown, off of 15th, preferably the north side of 15th, which is nearest town and the stadium. Expect to pay $30-40 in that area. When you come out, go west on 15th street, and CONTINUE ON 15th all the way out to the bypass. You will miss the 1.5 mile shite show that occurs at the off ramp there on 20. When you get to the end of 15th street out there, take a left at the red light and you will be about 1/2 mile from I-20 where you merge into the traffic much easier.

Downtown parking structure. Shuttle to the game. Then you are near the downtown bars and restaurants.
There is a link to bar\resturant recommendations here
If looking for BBQ try Archibalds in northport for lunch. (Not a dinner place...) Best in town.

If I were you, I would park at Central High School since you are a straight shot from the stadium on 10th Ave
