The start of college football season in Austin, Texas, brings excitement for Texas Longhorns fans as they prepare for the team's season opener against the Texas State University Bobcats on Saturday, September 5, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. With thousands of fans expected to attend, understanding parking regulations is crucial to ensure a smooth game day experience.
The University of Texas at Austin has made it clear that strict towing policies will be enforced on campus during home games. The university's Parking and Transportation Services has released guidelines outlining where fans can and cannot park to avoid fines or towing. Vehicles parked in designated lots must be removed by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, September 4, to prevent any towing incidents.
Specifically, fans should be aware that parking lots including Lots 15, 18, 19, 20, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40, 53, 56, 80, 92, 102, 108, 116, and 118 will be off-limits after the deadline. Additionally, those parked on university streets must also relocate their vehicles by specified times on Friday evening to avoid penalties.
For example, certain streets such as San Jacinto Boulevard and 21st Street have specific deadlines for vehicle removal. Fans parked in garages must also adhere to the same deadline of 11:59 p.m. on Friday, with specific garages including Brazos Garage, Manor Garage, San Jacinto Garage, Trinity Garage, and East Campus Garage being highlighted for compliance.
For those holding UT parking permits, there are designated lots available for relocation, including Lots 106, 110, 111, 112, 115, 119, and 121. The university will waive typical overnight parking restrictions starting Friday, allowing permit holders to park in various garages, provided spaces are available.
Public parking options will be offered on game days for a fee at several locations, including the Health Center Garage and Lot 15. The Texas Facilities Commission also provides additional pay-for-use parking options in state garages, which can be found on their official website.
For fans requiring special accommodations, while the designated parking is not ADA compliant, it does offer closer access to the stadium. ADA-compliant parking is available in Lot 118 and along Trinity Street near DeLoss Dodds Way. Special accommodations parking costs $50 per vehicle and is available on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 7 a.m. on game day.
As the excitement builds for the Longhorns' season opener, understanding these parking regulations will help ensure that fans can enjoy the game without the hassle of parking issues. With the right preparations, supporters can focus on cheering for their team as they kick off another thrilling season of college football.
