Getting out

1. Walk to rideshare at the Gateway Center. That's the official pick-up spot, off North Texas Blvd, away from the lot exits.
2. Take the ADA shuttle if you need it. It runs back to the Orange and Blue Lots for 1 hour after the game.
3. Hang on The Hill a while. Let the lots drain, then cross the bridge to the Orange Lot.

Skip this: Hit I-35E with everybody else. Bring patience and a full playlist.
