A-Day Game and Other Things to Do in Tuscaloosa This Weekend (4/15-4/17)

Alabama's A-Day weekend has arrived in Tuscaloosa with lots fun things planned related to the game, along with a couple of concerts and a TV special!

The fun surrounding the A-Day game has really made this annual event so much more than a sneak peek of team. It has really grown into a big celebration of the football program.

Alabama players who are just about to enter the NFL Draft, and other former Tide guys who are now thriving in the pro football league will make a return to Tuscaloosa! There will be opportunities to meet and greet these guys. Click here for more info on the 5 running backs in town to meet fans.
