Best Tailgates for Texas Longhorns Football Games in Austin | Eater Austin

"A free street-party-style pregame along San Jacinto Boulevard right outside the stadium, featuring food trucks, games, live radio broadcasts and team merchandise. Programming centers on ritual moments — about three and a half hours before kickoff fans can watch the live longhorn mascot arrive, then an hour later the Stadium Stampede brings out the football team, the marching band, spirit squads and occasional celebrity appearances — and the atmosphere is loud, crowded and festive. Drinks sold on-site are notably cheaper than inside the stadium (beer around $5–$6, wine spritzers about $5)." - Katey Psencik Outka
