If you don't have a ticket for Saturday's SEC matchup between Alabama and Georgia in Athens, university officials are asking you don't come close to campus.

Heavy rains have drenched the Athens area over the last week and with more rain in the forecast, one of the largest overflow parking lots on campus — the natural turf intramural fields — will not be available.

The university warns that with the complex off College Station Road unavailable Saturday there will be about 2,000 fewer parking spaces open to fans. The school usually makes room for about 15,000 vehicles across campus.

For Saturday's game, which kicks off at 3:30 p.m., Georgia has arranged for fans who present tickets to the game to ride Athens Transit System buses free of charge.
