The stadium is well-done and a testament to the best that $$ can buy. Worth a visit, and if you are lucky, a game or two. More

Always great games, friendly tailgating and the best fans ever. If you are into college football, you need to attend a Longhorn game. This is your mecca! More

The stadium is beautiful with biggest jumbotron ever. The whole experience harkens to the time of gladiators, without all the blood, gore and guts, of course! More

One of the best football stadiums in America. Always a happy atmosphere. Great sightlines. Average stadium food. Plaques for every UT Graduate that died in wars. Lots of nice decorative touches. Statues of Heismann winners. More

LOVE game day at DKR! Great tailgating (free food, beer and stuff), enjoy the game and if the games not so fun, I love to watch the band at half-time. I've been going to this stadium for 30+ years. Always fun More

Just getting to my seat was a workout. If you like airline seats, you'll love these. They are not made for anyone weighing more than about 125 lbs. And the escalators are great, but only one way. You have to walk alllllll the wayyyyy down! UT has more money than God, and should be ashamed of the stadium, as is. More

We were on the UT campus so we took are football fan friends to the Stadium. A gate was open for workmen so we were able to see the field and "feel" the atmosphere of the stadium even though it was empty. The football memorabilia hall is also well done and it is fun to see the pictures and trophies... More

Home of Longhorn football - need I say more? I was there for every game featuring Earl Campbell, Ricky Williams, Vince Young, Colt McCoy, and lots of other greats too many to mention. When I first arrived in Austin in 1974, I thought Texas fans were docile compared to what I was used to (LSU). Over the years, however, and... More

Incredible place especially when you're there for a football game! 100,000 + seats and they are full whenever Texas Longhorns are playing at home! Sound level is "what did you say?" More
