Getting out

  1. Stay at the tailgate. The lot stays open 2 hours after the game, and all night after a late kickoff. Let University Pkwy clear.
  2. Ride UVX. Stations sit on University Pkwy by Lots 3 and 8. Check UTA's game-day schedule before you go.
  3. Use the accessible shuttle. It runs from the IT Building lot until 1 hour after the game.

Skip this: Pull out with the crowd. Every lot empties at once onto University Pkwy and Canyon Rd. Expect a wait.
