The Tuscaloosa class D airport is just being slammed with exec. jets today with the football game between Texas and Alabama.   I flew to Mississippi this morning to get my AI replaced and on my return I was vectored by Birmingham approach before being handed off to Tuscaloosa tower, which doesn't usually happen.   Many more arrivals to TCL today than BHM.

Looking at flightaware, they are using multiple holds west of TCL to sequence arrivals.  They've closed rwy 12-30 and are using it to park jets.  They are asking Jets if they can park on the grass.  Crazy.  Here's the view from taxiway D when I returned.
