Getting in

Transit. The METRORail Purple Line stops near Gate 3 on the west end of the stadium. Game-day shuttle bus service runs two routes (east side of campus and north end), beginning two hours before kickoff through one hour after the game; all shuttle buses are ADA accessible.
Rideshare. Designated rideshare pick-up and drop-off is on University Drive in front of the University Student Center South, about a 10-minute walk down Cullen Boulevard to Cougar Alley at Gate 1.
Tailgating. Tailgating is permitted for all University of Houston home football games (see the tailgating policy page). No items may be distributed in or around the stadium, including tailgate areas, without prior UH Athletics/LEARFIELD consent. The Cougar Alley pregame zone is on the east and north end near Gates 1, 2 and 4; Shasta's Kids Zone opens four hours prior to kickoff.
Accessibility. Stadium is designed with accessible parking, restrooms, concessions and seating. ADA-accessible parking is available in game-day lots and garages for qualified Cougar Pride donors and in UH pay-by-phone lots and garages (game-day rates apply). Elevators serve the 200/300 levels, and all shuttle buses are ADA accessible. Ticket office 713-462-6647.
Entry. Re-entry into TDECU Stadium is prohibited. Screening procedures will be in use at all entry gates. Walk-through and hand wand metal detectors will be the primary means of screening. Any person who does not consent to screening will be denied entry into the stadium.

Food worth the line

Concession stands and portable carts are located throughout the concourse level and are all cashless. Beer, wine and liquor are sold at select concession and portable stands; alcohol sales conclude at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Frequently asked

What size bag can I bring into Space City Financial Stadium?

Also permitted: "One-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar)". CONTESTED SOURCE: the CLEAR BAG POLICY section permits "Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12” x 6” x 12”" while the PROHIBITED ITEMS list on the same page bans "• Backpacks/All bags larger than 4.5”x 6.5”".
