Game Day Hotels: Where to Stay for Alabama Football
Alabama football weekends drive peak demand across the market, especially for hotels near Bryant-Denny Stadium. Many properties offer gameday packages, shuttle service, and tailgating amenities, but availability varies. Book early (6 months or more for the big games) and check minimum stay rules. You can stay right on campus at Hotel Capstone (which is converting to a Graduate by Hilton in 2027) or at one of the hotels downtown that are within walking distance to UA. If nearby hotels sell out, consider campus-adjacent inns or rentals a short drive away for better rates and flexibility. Contact properties directly to confirm shuttle schedules and package details.

Rates often dip outside football season, and many hotels provide connecting rooms, cribs, and extended-stay discounts that make multi-night stays easy and budget-friendly. Book early for popular dates.
