Tuscaloosa County, a chapter of the UA National Alumni Association, is offering transportation on Dec. 1 to and from Atlanta for the 2018 SEC Championship Game, a rematch between Alabama and Georgia.
Tickets cost $75 each. Deadline is Nov. 23.
The chapter asks that people arrive 30 minutes before the bus departs at 8:30 a.m. from Coleman Coliseum. It will return to Tuscaloosa immediately after the game, which will kick off at 3 p.m. CT in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Actual game tickets are not included. Only water and snacks will be provided.
