What we know about TDECU Stadium

Where visiting fans stay

From a specialist guide
  • Downtown Houston. METRORail Purple Line from downtown to TSU/UH Athletics District. Most hotels, Discovery Green and a direct rail line to campus.
  • EaDo. Short drive or rideshare. Beer gardens and bars between downtown and campus.
  • Near Hobby Airport. Drive. Handy for Southwest flights and the drive to Space Center Houston.

Around the stadium

From a specialist guide
EaDo (East Downtown), between campus and downtown, with beer gardens such as Pitch 25. The stadium is less than three miles from downtown.

Getting in from the airport

From a specialist guide
HOU William P. Hobby, about 7 miles from central Houston and a Southwest base, is the closer airport.

Getting to the stadium

From a specialist guide
METRORail Purple Line. TSU/UH Athletics District or UH South/University Oaks.

Tailgating

Checked at the source
UH Parking publishes the 2026 home schedule and links the UH Athletics game day parking map and football fan guide for lot assignments. Some campus lots are cleared for game day. Before the October 3 game, cars in Zone F lots 12A and 15C had to leave by 11:59 PM Friday. Pitch 25, a 25,000 square foot beer garden and sports bar on Walker Street in EaDo, shows football on lots of TVs.

After the final whistle

From a specialist guide
The METRORail Purple Line stops at TSU/UH Athletics District and UH South/University Oaks and runs north into downtown, ending at Theater District station.

One thing to avoid

From a specialist guide
Don't leave a car in Zone F lots 12A and 15C on a Friday before a home game without checking the UH parking page; for the October 3 game, cars there had to move out by 11:59 PM Friday.
