Game days and nights at DKR are a spectacle! Game days are swarming with people trying to get to their gates, lines of people trying to order food and drinks, vendors setting up in the middle of nowhere to sell beer, water, seltzers, etc. *Water from these vendors can cost you more than the stadium stores. I don't know how pricing is determined. You can find self serve stadium stores for water, drinks, and snacks. They also have free water filling stations so you don't have to break the bank ordering water, but these can be hard to find when hundred of thousands of people are around. They also offer many food options from Pluckers, Tony C's, SmokeyMo's, Stubbs, HTeaO, Amy's, and so much more. Download the maps to easily find first aid sections, food and drink locations, and make sure to wear your fitness trackers because those stairs are massive.

Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium at Cambell-Williams Field is the football stadium for the…read moreThe University of Texas college football team. It has been in operation for over 100 years. It is a state-of-the-art facility that has continually gone through upgrades and renovations to enhance the fan and student-athlete experience. The stadium is host to numerous facilities such as the Moncrief-Neuhaus Athletic Center and Dr. Nasser Al-Rashid Strength Complex. The stadium has a lower and upper deck. There are also enclosed clubs and lounges in various areas of the stadium. Most of the seating is bleachers unless you are on the home side that have some seats with seat backs. There are many options for food and concessions in the stadium but the price points are very high. Shade in the stadium is at a premium and depends on the time of day. They are pretty good with crowd control but the stadium can hold over 100K people so can get very crowded. Now the field is a field turf surface. Parking is always challenging to find close by but paid parking is an option. Have some great memories in this stadium from watching the Texas Longhorn football team.

I recently saw Sting in concert at the Moody Amphitheater in Waterloo Park, and I can honestly say…read moreit was one of the best live music experiences I've had in Austin. This venue is absolutely stunning. The combination of open green space, modern design, and downtown skyline views creates a unique atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive at the same time. It's the kind of place where you can spread out on the lawn or sit closer to the stage and still feel completely immersed in the show. The acoustics are incredible--clear, balanced, and powerful without being overwhelming. Every note and lyric came through perfectly, which made an already amazing performance even more memorable. I also love how seamlessly the amphitheater blends into Waterloo Park. It doesn't feel like a typical concert venue--it feels like a thoughtfully designed outdoor experience where music, nature, and the city all come together. Whether you're seeing a legendary artist like Sting or just catching a local show, I highly recommend attending a concert here. Moody Amphitheater is truly one of Austin's gems and a must-visit for music lovers.

Here's a polished Yelp review that keeps your balanced, honest tone:…read more This is a great venue, especially if you enjoy smaller, more intimate concert settings. One of the biggest advantages is that there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Even if you're farther from the stage, you still feel close to the performance. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the drink selection was solid with plenty of alcohol options available. The biggest downside is the food. There was only one food truck during our visit, so your options are very limited. Another thing to be aware of is the parking. The venue provides parking recommendations, but depending on where you park and whether you have VIP access, you may end up on the wrong side of the venue and have a much longer walk to the entrance than expected. Overall, it was a fun experience, and I'd definitely come back. Just eat beforehand and double-check your parking location if you don't have VIP access.

I love the historical brick architecture and it is one of the more aesthetically pleasing buildings on campus. Parking can be a challenge but there are paid garage options available. I have been here on several occasions to watch the UT women's volleyball team play home matches. I have sat in the bleachers and also in the bench seating and all seats have a great view of the floor. The venue is very intimate and had a loud, close-up atmosphere so you fell immersed in the game. This location is also a meeting hub for local clubs and activities. Met up here for the Longhorn runs and packet pick-up. Access to the gym facility is restricted to current UT students and individuals with a current RecSports membership or Day Pass. As a UT student, I also used the workout facilities. They have a variety of activities and amenities and it is a very nice gym facility. I used to do all my strength workouts in the weight room and they have an indoor track and basketball courts.

The women's volleyball team has been solid over the past few years and the tickets were relatively cheap so I figured I'd get us tickets. As soon as we walked into the venue, we could feel the energy in the building. The fans were going crazy throughout the game. Definitely surprised us and exceeded our expectations. Basically every seat in the building has a good view of the game as well. Definitely worth checking out!

My wife's grand niece made it to the UIL Texas high school championship in the 100 yard huddle…read more Family members from several Texas cities came to Austin to support her. This track and soccer stadium is big. This is an open to the sky seating stadium. It was brutal in the Texas sun, heat, and humidity. Fortunately, free water was available to everyone. Best of all, EMS service was giving free cold iced towel to everyone. Anyone can return to get fresh iced towel. Man, that iced towel hitted the spot and saved me and family members from heat stroke. I had one around my neck and on top of my head under baseball cap. Almost everyone in the stadium was doing the same. Bathrooms were relatively clean for such high density usage. Security was tight, which was a relief in a full stadium. There were police patrols everywhere. Parking was $15 in the adjacent parking lot, credit or debit payment via smart phone only. All the fans were polite and kind. No drama or dangerous situation occured. Over all, everyone there had a wonderful time. For my family, it was great catching up with families from all part of Texas.

This was my first time at the baseball field and it was so fun!…read more The field is easily accessible from 35 and MLK or Manor road. Parking in lots and garages is limited, but there is some free street parking (yes! Biggest shock of my life!). We were very early seeing as how parking was so easy and the gates were still locked. After a few minutes the gates were unlocked and we were inside. We started by stocking up on gear. We found the athletic store, grabbed a hat and scarf and moved on to the snacks. The grab and go was perfect. We got hotdogs and popcorn and drinks, placed them on the reader and paid. The attendants were very nice and helpful. Since it was raining and the seats were wet, we were told we could sit up in the dry seats while we waited out the rain. The wet seats weren't bad until that 60 degrees started to feel really chilly. As they say, there's not a bad seat in the house. Definitely looking forward to coming back for more games!

First time visitor to Disch-Falk Field for a Longhorns baseball game. My girl is a proud UT alumni…read morebut somehow hadn't been to a baseball game. I had to remedy it. The game time had been changed three times due to weather so we weren't sure if we'd even get to watch the game against the UC Davis Aggies. The good: Stadium is small so there really are no bad seats. Food and beverage prices are reasonable and happy hour prices prior to the national anthem being played unless you buy a Longhorn yeti cup, then you pay the premium. The bad(ish): Parking. It's weird trying to find a spot, we ended up parking on the street for free, so I don't know if it's really a bad. The crowd was pretty chill with the exception of some kids going nuts, but that was a lot of fun to watch. Overall, we enjoyed the game and the stadium. We can't wait to return for some SEC conference games.
