SAN ANTONIO — It's that time of year again.
The college football season has kicked off, and high expectations await the UTSA Roadrunners in their debut campaign as a member of the American Athletic Conference.
UTSA's home opener is set for Saturday at the Alamodome, and, yes, fans are expected to tailgate. Is it really the start of a new football season if you don't?
The Roadrunners (0-1) will be facing off against the Texas State Bobcats (1-0) with kickoff set for 2:30 p.m. Doors will open at 1 p.m. But before putting on your favorite Roadrunners gear, here's everything you need to know about the first home game of the 2023 season.
Parking
Parking in Alamodome Lots A, B and C, as well as in the UTSA Institute of Texan Cultures (ITC) lots, is limited to fans who already have purchased permits. Alamodome Lots A, B and C will open at 8 a.m. and the ITC lots will open at 11:30 a.m. for those who have valid parking passes. There is no in-and-out parking available at the Alamodome. For alternative downtown parking lot options, click here.
If you're planning on using a rideshare service or taxi, the dropoff and pickup zones are in Lot D on Tower of the America’s Way, off of the southbound I-37 access road.
And, of course, tailgating is allowed with a UTSA-sold permit.
Bag policies and prohibited items
All attendees will have their bags checked prior to entering the building. A clear bag policy will be enforced, so to save yourself a long trek back to the car make sure your bag is either a clear bag, a freezer gallon bag, smaller than 5.5" x 8.5", a medically necessary bag or a diaper bag.
Tickets
Single game tickets are still available via Ticketmaster, season pass information can be found here, and for information on football suite tickets call 210-458-8872.
So go on and head over to the Alamodome on Saturday and don't be afraid to get rowdy and cheer on your favorite Roadrunners.
