We are late 20s in age — definitely looking to see as many football highlights as we can while we’re there. We also like good food, too — sounds like we’ll definitely need to get a grilled cheese.
Any recommendations on where to stay? Any specific places to see in the stadium?

Don’t waste your time with Buffalo Phil’s if this is your first trip through, that place is garbage.
Dinner:
Depalma’s - Italian
Chuck’s Fish - great sushi, pizzas, fresh fish
Five - owned by same family as Chuck’s, much easier to get a table here. Burgers, fresh catch, good entrees all around
Baumhowers - Wings, Tuscaloosa staple. I’m not a huge fan, but to each their own
Lunch:
Rama Jama’s (breakfast all day too)
City Cafe - meat and 3
Archibald’s - best bbq in town, across the river in a shack
Boozing:
Houndstooth for a beer is a must
Downtown is a great area after a game like this, it’ll be busy but not uber packed.
Heat Pizza for a Thai Chicken pizza after an early game and before hitting the bars is a go-to
Other stuff to do:
Bryant Museum
Walk of Champions
Supe Store or Bama bookstore has plenty of Bammer gear and souvenirs
Someone else will have to speak on lodging, I’ve always either lived here or crashed with a buddy for the 10 or so years between college and moving back.
