August 25, 20223 yr So the Longhorn Express Shuttle appears to be discontinued. We used to just park at the mall and take the shuttle over... super cheap, super convenient. What are some other options to get to the stadium? Are there places you can park that are somewhat near the stadium that isn't too long of a walk? Is there reasonably priced parking nearby? We've been using the shuttle so long, I don't really know the other options.
August 25, 20223 yr I'd hitch a mule train headed out of San Antone. It's a 5 day trip - 4 if you've got a pep in your step.
August 25, 20223 yr Yuck. The jokey replies tell me there ain't. Heading to a game this season for the first time in a couple of years as a family member -- including one who isn't that mobile -- want to attend. Not sure the best way to handle it.
August 25, 20223 yr Buy a fucking parking pass you broke bitch. That was read in a joke tone not a mean one
August 25, 20223 yr Serious answer: If you're a broke bitch who can't afford a fucking parking pass (Really harsh, immamac. Really.), grab an Uber or Lyft. I know they aren't as cheap as they used to be, but they can get you reasonably close to the stadium. I don't know how to address your mobility issue. You might want to get on the texassports website and see if there are any accommodations, just as drop off places that are closer.
August 25, 20223 yr I usually park at Medical Arts Square (near intersection of 26th Dean Keeton/Medical Arts Street) at a Kiwanis Club lot. They charge $20 and it's a quick walk to tailgating/DKR. There are actually several "fundraiser" lots in that area. Just don't expect to roll up 30 minutes before KO and expect to get a spot there.
August 25, 20223 yr If walking there isn't too far for you, parking garage across from the Clay Pit was always convenient for me heading south but not suburb south. 10-15 minute walk, never a big back up in the garage, and rarely a problem getting through downtown and across the river on 1st or Congress.

Super convenient
August 25, 20223 yr I've been spoiled with the parking passes since we've had season tickets going back to 1996.

We do the same, but in a Rotary lot - screw the Kiwanis Club. Used to be able to pay for an entire season's worth of parking up from at the Medical Arts Square lot and be guaranteed a spot on game day.

Now that you mention it, I think it is a Rotary Club lot instead of Kiwanis. Anywho, it's cheap and pretty close.

August 25, 20223 yr That's insane that there's no more shuttle. How can we live in a city this big and yet be so inept at transportation for major events?
August 25, 20223 yr Park in Derka's mom's driveway and Derka will shuttle you in from Pflugerville. PM him, first, though.

August 26, 20223 yr Makes sense. I just assumes they had restarted it last year. That’s a bummer for many reasons. Glad I got my parking permit when I did I guess. Should probably send a gift to that lady
August 26, 20223 yr We used to park at the garage at 17th and Colorado. It was free (or maybe $20, who can remember?) and reasonably close to everything (this is the one Celery Man mentioned; across from Clay Pit). Uber/Lyft are great to get to the game, but leaving the stadium was in excess of $180 surge pricing the last time I went to a game a few years ago (TX/USC). Stayed that way for a couple of hours. We walked to a bar and waited it out. Edited August 26, 20223 yr by dcbc
August 27, 20223 yr All things gameday parking are here:https://texassports.com/sports/2016/5/4/parking.aspx Looks like there are some ADA parking options by Disch-Falk, with a shuttle over to the stadium. I've always parked somewhere north of campus and walked. Not being stuck in a garage after the game is a huge advantage. CapMetro runs high frequency buses down Guadalupe every 15 minutes, if you live close to one of those routes. I've never ridden one but folks do take these to the Austin FC games.

August 31, 20223 yr Author If you do one of the pay lots somewhat near by, how early before the game do you need to arrive to make sure you get a spot?
August 31, 20223 yr The Surly Horns tailgate will ALWAYS be set up until midnight or 6 hours after the game whichever comes first. You can Uber and wait at the tailgate until surge pricing goes down while enjoying free beer/wine/whatever, food, CFB on TV and then company of your fellow assholes.
August 31, 20223 yr Does OP have any eligibility left? If he joins the team, they will transport him to the game and he can see the whole game from the sideline.

Location of said free beer, CFB, and asshole tailgate?
September 2, 20223 yr I always park in South Austin's mom's garage. It's nice and super convenient and she usually keeps it clean. Very spacious. Edited September 2, 20223 yr by Bevo
September 2, 20223 yr Gimme a ride, that's the most convenient way. We can park wherever you like, I'll uber home.

September 16, 20223 yr Last week got borked and for once we ditched our parking pass and caught a ride in. Ubering out after was a complete shitshow disaster. Dean Keaton was like a war zone, had to walk up towards 38 and red river and wait 90 minutes.

September 16, 20223 yr In my younger days I'd usually park in North Campus and walk. Last year I was driving straight from Houston so I just parked at HEB on 41st and shared an uber with a buddy I was meeting there.
September 16, 20223 yr I think the Seminary of the Southwest off Duval just north of Posse East might charge $20 or so for parking. At least they have in prior years.
September 16, 20223 yr Maybe you should have come to the tailgate and just waited it out like a smart person. Good point. Life is about learning.
