Getting there

Campus streets close up and traffic is heavy on game days, so plan on arriving early or leaving the car behind.

  • Rideshare: the pickup and drop-off zone is on the south curb of Dean Keeton St. between Robert Dedman Dr. and Red River St. Follow the signs.
  • Drop-off by car: there is a drop-off zone at MLK and San Jacinto. You cannot park on San Jacinto Blvd.
  • CapMetro: routes 7, 10, 18, 20, 320, 801, 803 and 837 serve campus. Routes 7 and 837 drop off in front of the stadium; 801 and 803 stop at the UT West Mall. Routes 7 and 10 run on game-day detours.
  • Park & Ride: CapMetro lists travel times to the stadium from Triangle (29 min), Delco Center (34), North Lamar (40), South Congress (40), Expo Center (49), Southpark Meadows (60) and Tech Ridge (68).
  • I-35 in 2026: from the north, stay on the lower deck to exit at MLK. The 15th St. on-ramp to northbound I-35 is gone, so use 12th St. to get on I-35 after the game.
