The free event will include an open practice in Bryant-Denny Stadium from 2:30 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.

The practice will be followed by a team autograph session on the field exclusively for members of Yea Alabama — the official University of Alabama NIL.

UA Athletics says fans can join Yea Alabama to support Alabama student-athletes at the stadium's entrance beginning at 1:30 p.m. through gates 13 and 24 for seating in the west side lower bowl (sections A-N).

What's more, all items are subject to inspection as fans enter the stadium for both the practice and Fan Day activities.

For the autograph session, Yea Alabama members are permitted to bring one child ages 12-and-under as their guest. Yea Alabama members will be limited to one item per person for autographs and no posed photographs will be permitted.

To combat the heat and keep fans hydrated, water coolers will be available on the west concourse and several portable concession areas will be set up on the west 100 level concourse.

UA Athletics says fans are permitted to bring one empty, non-glass cup or bottle to the stadium.

Those looking for souvenirs will be able to visit The Authentic at Bryant-Denny Stadium at the interior south concourse. The store sells NIL merchandise, including customized Nike player jerseys, customized name and number T-shirts, headwear, official game-used memorabilia, on-demand digital trading cards from Topps and more.
