Parking & Arrival
Parking
Conditional

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. Secondary sources put general-public single-game parking at State Garages A, E, and F around $40, with the Whitis Lot starting near $16.

All parking passes are mobile-only (digital wallet, scanned on entry) — no cash or screenshots accepted. Parking areas typically open around 6-7am on gamedays; overnight parking isn't permitted. Sourced partly to secondary aggregators for the rate figures.

FEE
