FAQ: Birds up! UTSA Roadrunner home football kicks off this week
(Sept. 5, 2013) -- You will find resources here for everything you need to know about UTSA Football Game Day.
The Home Football Game on Saturday, Sept. 7 has an 11 a.m. kickoff and all activities are adjusted accordingly. Whiteout for this game versus Oklahoma State… wear your bright whites as we White-Out the Dome! Because of the early kickoff, road construction and heavy traffic, plan to arrive at least one hour before game time.
Parking is sold out at the Alamodome; parking options are available in private lots or downtown parking garages. Better yet, see information below on VIA park-and-ride.
Additionally, VIA's regular Yellow Streetcar route provides service between the UTSA Downtown Campus and the Alamodome from the VIA stop near lot D3 under Interstate 35/10. The cost of the Yellow Streetcar is $1.10 each way with the UTSA student discount rate of 50 percent off. More information, visit the VIA website.
