Concert-goers  can park under the train trestle, west of the Amp, and in on-street parking spaces throughout downtown Tuscaloosa. Free shuttles will run from the Tuscaloosa Intermodal Facility, at 601 23rd Ave., adjacent to Government Park. The free 445-space, 24-7 four-level parking deck will have shuttles running from one hour before gates open, and continuing until patrons have cleared out.
