Local eats, art installations, and signature margaritas await
"The biggest venue in Austin on campus has a plethora of local eats to enjoy while you’re jamming out to the biggest bands. There are sausages and big pretzels from German restaurant Koko’s Bavarian, coal-fired pizzas from Tony C’s, and barbecue from Stubb’s Bar-B-Cue, as well as Shaquille O’Neal’s breaded chicken sandwich chain Big Chicken, and Right On ‘Cue Tacos. There are indoor and outdoor areas." - Darcie Duttweiler
"The arena where the artist played his final Austin show in 2021; during that concert he referenced the origin story of his biggest hit and recounted the Austin connection for the audience before performing the song." - Katey Psencik Outka
"An Austin concert arena where a recent Blink-182 show featured an onstage moment in which a stuffed-beaver mascot toy from a Texas gas-station market chain was tossed onto the stage and was briefly picked up and held by the band’s bassist and singer." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Opened in April 2022 at 2001 Robert Dedman Drive, I see the Moody Center on the University of Texas campus as a major new arena — Austinite Matthew McConaughey even serves as its self-styled minister of culture — that hosts UT women's and men's basketball, massive concerts (Bruce Springsteen, Harry Styles), and big events like the forthcoming CMT Music Awards. Attendees should know the venue is cashless (Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cards only), enforces a two-alcoholic-drink maximum per purchase with alcohol sales ending 30 minutes before the show ends, has a clear-bag/clutch-size policy, and prohibits tailgating." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Ranked second in Austin Business Journal’s tally of top alcohol sellers for 2022, the Moody Center is noted as a new venue/arena contributing significant on-site alcohol sales." - Nadia Chaudhury
