How to get to, from UT vs. Clemson College Football showdown Saturday
AUSTIN (KXAN) — A burnt orange National Championship? That's the dream for the Texas Longhorns as they take on the Clemson Tigers in their journey through the College Football Playoff.
The University of Texas at Austin will host Clemson on Saturday at Darrel K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 3 p.m. As Longhorns and Tigers fans flock DKR, there will be plenty of traffic before and after the game — and road closures in effect in and around the stadium.
If the Longhorns win Saturday, they'll head to the quarterfinals and play against Big 12 Champion Arizona State University in the Peach Bowl, slated for Jan. 1 in Atlanta.
The below map details all the planned closures as part of the College Football Playoff matchup.

Where is ADA-compliant parking available for UT football games?
ADA-compliant parking is offered in public parking garages open on game days, per UT. Special accommodation parking isn’t designated as ADA-compliant; however, UT officials said it does provide parking closer to the venue that could assist some attendees.
Any Longhorn Foundation members needing ADA-compliant parking can use their Longhorn Foundation parking permit and state-issued places or placards to park in an ADA-compliant space, per UT. However, officials said those spots need to be where the permit is valid and accepted.
Special accommodations parking is available for $50 on a first-come, first-serve basis. Those spots open up at 7 a.m. on game days and are available at:
- Trinity Street near DeLoss Dodds Way — Dedman & Dean Keeton checkpoint
