Providing an engaging, fun and safe environment for all fans at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium is a top priority for Texas Athletics. As the 2015 Texas Football season approaches, we are proud to announce multiple enhancements to our gameday experience, including a family-friendly pregame fan fest, additional tailgating options, Austin food vendors, concessions upgrades and the addition of beer and wine sales throughout the entire stadium. To facilitate the sale of beer and wine and ensure compliance with Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission (TABC) laws, rules and regulations, we are also introducing an adjustment to our re-entry policy.

Beginning four hours before kickoff, the Texas Football Fan Fest kicks up the energy and brings the party right inside DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium. Live music, featuring School of Rock, and the familiar flavor of Austin's Pizza, Torchy's Tacos and Pluckers will be available. Perfect for families, the fan fest also provides family-friendly, interactive games and big screen TVs throughout the north end zone concourse so fans can keep up with all the football action across the country before the Longhorns take the field. The fan fest is open to all ticketholders.

For those wishing to stay outdoors and enjoy the majesty of the Forty Acres until kickoff, Texas Athletics has partnered with Tailgate Guys to bring first-class, turnkey tailgating experiences to the nearby, picturesque spaces of the LBJ Lawn. Tailgate Guys offers packages to accommodate an intimate group of five college friends or a professional networking circle of 2,000 colleagues and customers. Tailgate Guys will also partner with members of the esteemed Austin food and beverage scene to build catering packages sure to please any appetite. For more information, please visit TailgateGuys.com.

The Austin food culture continues into the concourses of DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium. New for 2015, fans can choose among local favorites like Hat Creek Burgers, Mighty Fine Burgers Fries & Shakes, Torchy's Tacos, Pluckers, Austin's Pizza and PoK-e-Jo's BBQ. Creative concepts from our stadium concessionaire, The 1883 Provisions Co., also bring fans tasty options like a sweet shop and a build-your-own nacho bar.

For the responsible enjoyment of fans who are of legal age, beer and wine are available for purchase throughout the stadium. To permit the sale of beer and wine, Texas Athletics must comply with all TABC laws, rules and regulations. To ensure compliance, we have made adjustments to our re-entry policy.

All gates open at the conclusion of the Stadium Stampede, or approximately two hours before kickoff; from that point, fans are allowed one entry. Once gates are open and fans have full access to stadium seating, fans who have scanned in will not be able to exit the stadium and re-enter. This policy is consistent with most major sporting venues across the country, including AT&T Stadium (home of the Dallas Cowboys) and NRG Stadium (home of the Houston Texans).

The Texas Exes Etter-Harbin Alumni Center and the University of Texas Club are licensed by TABC and thus are accessible from the start of the second quarter to the start of the fourth quarter through specified gates. For further details about club accessibility, please consult the complete re-entry policy online in our fan guide.

Careful consideration went into the development of these gameday enhancements. Texas Athletics' top priority and motivation is to provide the best and safest environment for our fans and student-athletes.
