The Alabama High School Athletic Association will hold its Super 7 state football championships at Jordan-Hare Stadium Wednesday-Friday this week, altering all Tiger Transit routes.
"No Tiger Transits will pick up or drop off at the Heisman Road hub," said Rex Huffman, manager of transit services. "All buses will drop off and pick up at the Mell Street hub at Roosevelt Concourse, next to Duncan Hall."
To enable traffic flow, Mell Street, between Mary Martin Hall and the Mell Street stop, will be one-way southbound.
This will prohibit all vehicles from traveling north on Mell Street between Ralph Brown Draughon library and Spidle Hall.
"The routes normally operating from Mell Street are not affected," Huffman said. "All other routes will experience some delay due to the additional distance required to arrive on Mell Street."
Buses will be dropping Super 7 fans off at the east gate of Jordan-Hare Stadium located near the student entrance.
Traffic on Heisman Drive will flow clockwise, reverse of the usual traffic flow.
"All Super 7 public parking and tailgating will be directed to the Hay Field Lot located at the intersection of South Donahue Drive and Lem Morrison Drive," Huffman said.
Tickets for the Super 7 game cost $12 in advance and $15 at the gate. Each team will hold their own "Tiger Walk" before kickoff.
