Tuscaloosa scores first Sports Illustrated college town resort

Tuscaloosa was recently named one of Travel + Leisure’s 25 best U.S. college towns. This week it was also selected as the first college town location for a new line of Sports Illustrated resorts. 

The planned resort will be across the Black Warrior River from the University of Alabama. It looks remarkable: 

The resort will house world-class dining options, entertainment venues, a signature SI Fit Health/Wellness Center and more. Members of the Sports Illustrated vacation club will benefit from a flexible points-based system that enhances their overall resort experience.

“Our vision for this entirely new vacation club is to provide members a unique opportunity to totally immerse themselves in gameday life with a piece of their favorite college town, plus flexibility to travel away with their team and beyond.”
