Texas venues — what you can bring in
Packaroni tracks 365 verified policies across 19 venues in Texas — Arlington, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth, and 8 more. Every entry below links back to the venue's own published rule and carries the date it was last checked.
What the rules look like in Texas
The patterns that hold across stadium & arena and theme & amusement park venues here — the kind of comparison no single venue's website will give you.
- All 19 restrict bags in some way — expect a size limit, a clear-bag rule, or both.
- Outside water: 5 of the 19 ban it entirely, 13 allow it sealed or size-limited, and 1 lets you bring your own.
- Outside food: 15 of the 19 ban it outright and 4 allow it with limits.
- Coolers: 17 of the 18 ban them and 1 allows a limited cooler.
- Bringing your own alcohol: 17 of the 19 prohibit it and 2 allow it conditionally.
- Strollers and wagons: 4 of the 16 turn them away and 12 cap the size or ban wagons.
- 16 of the 19 charge a fee for at least one item — usually bag storage or a locker — so bringing something you can't carry in may still cost you.

Parking
Parking exists in numbered lots around the stadium, but it's lot-designated and priced per lot/event at purchase rather than one flat rate — a season or single-game pass is valid only for its assigned lot.
Parking is fee-based, priced event-by-event, with cashless payment only; Lots A/B/C open at 8am for permit holders and close 1 hour after the game; limited ADA parking is available first-come, first-served.
The arena's official parking page wasn't fetchable at the URL tried — secondary sources describe tiered Victory Park pricing: Platinum Lot $30-40, Gold Lot $25-35, Victory Park garages $15-25, and West End garages $10-20, plus a $20 prepaid option, $40 RV parking, and $30 valet.
Fee: $10-40 by lot tier (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); $20 prepaid; $40 RV; $30 valet

Fee: $25 nearby church lots (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); $240 season pass; $20-30 ADA (Lot 5 Garage); free (Doxology/Travis Ave Baptist, with shuttle)
Multiple lots surround the stadium with tailgating rules (one vehicle per space, no blocking drive/fire lanes); RV parking is sold seasonally or per-game in the Blue Lot, with individual sales also in the Orange Lot; dedicated ADA parking, drop-off, and shuttle are provided.
The Astros' own parking pages returned no fetchable pricing content across the URLs tried — secondary sources report official/nearby lots ranging roughly $10-40 per game, surging to $60-80+ for high-demand dates, with two City-of-Houston-owned lots at a flat $30.
Fee: $10-40 typical (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); $60-80+ on high-demand dates; $30 flat at the two City of Houston lots
Texas' own site confirms season parking permits require Longhorn Foundation donor status ($250+ in combined football seat/Longhorn Excellence gifts) and that single-game parking is sold separately through the Texas Facilities Commission in downtown lots/garages — but doesn't publish a rate.

Fee: $400-$2,500 for RV parking; free-to-paid for general lots

Texas A&M Transportation Services is reported to run two pay-upon-arrival general tiers — around $25 for lots farther from Kyle Field and $40 for closer, higher-demand spots — though this wasn't confirmed from a first-party fetch for this entry. Accessible parking is reported at $25 (University Center Garage) and $20 (Lot 88).
Fee: $25-40 general tiers (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); $20-25 accessible

Free downtown parking plus the free Baylor Tailgater Shuttle are also available.
Fee: $30-66 by opponent (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); free downtown + shuttle

For the 2026 season, secondary sources report a pricing reduction: the three primary Blue/Orange/Green lots are around $25 when purchased before gameday ($10 off the gate rate), with other surface lots starting around $20 — this wasn't independently confirmed from a first-party fetch for this entry.
Fee: ~$25 pre-purchased (Blue/Orange/Green lots, per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); ~$20 other surface lots; free (students, ticket required)
The official Toyota Tundra Garage is largely reserved for passholders on Rockets game days, so most fans park at nearby garages and lots instead — the arena's own site wasn't fetched directly for this entry.

Fee: $20-30 nearby garages/lots (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); $40 RV (Lot C)

Weapons
Weapons are banned at all high school, collegiate, and professional sporting events held at the Alamodome, even for concealed-handgun permit holders. Because the Alamodome is City-owned rather than university property, Texas's campus-carry law does not apply here; instead, Texas Penal Code §46.03 independently bans weapons at any professional/collegiate/interscholastic sporting-event venue regardless of ownership.
Firearms and concealed handguns, with or without a license, are not permitted; the arena has no weapons check-in.
Weapons of any kind, including those carried with a permit, are prohibited, and open or concealed firearm carry is not allowed anywhere on the TCU campus.
Weapons of any kind, including pocket knives 3.5 inches or longer when open, are prohibited. University Policy 04.001 explicitly bars concealed handguns at any location where a collegiate sporting event is taking place, citing Texas Penal Code §46.03, the same sporting-event carve-out to Texas's SB11 campus-carry law already established at other public Texas universities this session.
Weapons of any kind — including but not limited to firearms, knives, and mace — are explicitly listed as prohibited items, and all guests pass through metal detectors/weapons screening at every gate.
No weapons of any kind, including firearms, are permitted in DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium.
Firearms, weapons, or knives of any kind are prohibited; SMU is a weapons-free campus (since at least 1994) and, as a private university, formally opted out of Texas's 2016 campus-carry law (SB 11) after community consultation, so licensed concealed handguns are also barred under Texas Penal Code 30.06.
No weapons of any kind are permitted, even if properly permitted or registered, explicitly including pepper spray and pocket knives — the same statutory mechanism as the University of Texas and Texas A&M stadiums (Texas Penal Code §46.03(a)(8), which bars weapons on the premises of a professional sporting event) applies here regardless of Texas's separate SB11 campus-carry law, which does not govern pro venues.
Texas State posts a formal Penal Code §30.06 trespass notice excluding licensed concealed handgun carry from athletic facilities — the specific mechanism by which UFCU Stadium opts out of Texas's general SB11 campus-carry law for sporting events, consistent with the Penal Code §46.03/46.035 stadium carve-out used at other Texas public schools.
Firearms, weapons, explosives and fireworks are prohibited inside the stadium; all guests are screened at every gate with the Evolv Weapons Detection System in addition to the clear bag policy, and prohibited items cannot be left at the gate.
Firearms/weapons are prohibited at Kyle Field on gameday — the same statutory mechanism as the University of Texas's own stadium (Texas Penal Code §46.03(a)(8), which bars weapons at any collegiate sporting event) rather than a school-specific policy choice, so it applies regardless of Texas's SB11 campus-carry law.
Baylor is a weapons-free campus: as a private university it opted out of Texas's campus-carry law (SB 11), and firearms, explosives, other dangerous weapons, and replicas are prohibited everywhere on Baylor property, including McLane Stadium, under Texas Penal Code Sec. 46.03.
Weapons and firearms are on the official prohibited items list.
Weapons of any kind are prohibited at stadium gates. Rice, as a private university, opted out of Texas's SB11 campus-carry law entirely in 2015, posting a formal Texas Penal Code §§30.05/30.06/30.07 trespass notice barring any firearm, concealed or open, anywhere on campus — the same complete opt-out pattern already established at Baylor and SMU. The broader Weapons Prohibition Policy separately bans firearms, explosives, and other dangerous weapons under Texas Penal Code §§46.03 and 46.035, with narrow exceptions only for locked-vehicle storage, commissioned law enforcement, and official ROTC activities.
Firearms and weapons of any kind are prohibited on SeaWorld San Antonio property.
The University President is authorized to exclude concealed handguns from designated on-campus areas, and Sun Bowl Stadium is explicitly named as one of these exclusion zones during events, under Texas Government Code Chapter 411, Subchapter H (§411.2031) and Texas Penal Code §46.03(a-8), which independently excludes license holders from any area where a collegiate sporting event is taking place.
Firearms and weapons of any kind are prohibited; Texas's Campus Carry Law and the Texas Penal Code, together with university policy, bar even licensed concealed-carry holders from carrying at any on-campus sporting event — the same public-Texas-university pattern already documented at UT, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech.
Weapons of any type, including knives, are prohibited.
