Horns Games at DKR
The Texas Longhorns play their home football games at Darrell K Royal Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas. DKR is an amazing venue to watch a college football game. It holds over 100,000 fans on game day. The gameday atmosphere is electric with music, great concessions, and plenty of entertainment. There's nothing like walking to yours seats carrying your favorite cold beverage and a Torchy's taco and seeing the sea of burnt orange fans chanting "TEXAS FIGHT!".
The home bench is on the lower west sideline (in-front of Sections 3-6), which is commonly referred to as the “Alumni side”. The chairback seats in Sections 4 and 5 offer some of the best views of the field in the stadium. A true experience for a UT home game is to sit in Row 1 in Sections 3-6 on West side which puts you directly behind the action on the UT home bench. Most football fans will say the best seats are Sections 3-6 in-between rows 6-56 which are all chairback seats with nice view of field. Chairbacks seating in Sections 3-6 starts at row 6 and the entire side will be shaded in the 2nd half of games that kickoff in the late afternoon or evening. Sitting in rows 53-78 will put you under the cover of the overhang which keeps you out of the sun or rain for portions of the game.
One of the best values at DKR is the north end zone. Sections 13-18 provide a nice view of the field and the giant HD jumbotron located directly across the field. These seats are on the lower-level but typically significantly cheaper than sideline seats. The cheapest seats at DKR are in the upper-deck. Sections 101, 102, 108 and 109 have 50+ rows so those higher rows are often the lowest priced tickets for any game. There are also usually some good values in the upper endzone corners between Sections 116-124. On the lower-level, the cheapest seats are going to be in Section 1 or Section 32 which are both corner locations that are kind of behind the endzone. The seats on the upper East side get a lot of sun for day games, as the late afternoon sun will shine directly on Sections 125-132.
DKR has mostly bleacher style seats, but there are certain areas with chairbacks including the club-seating. Other seats that are chairbacks include Sections 3-6 (only row 6 and higher), Sections 101-109 (only first 17 rows), Sections 111-123 (only first 8 rows, Sections 125-131 (only first 8 rows) and Sections 124 & 132 (only first 5 rows).
The most exclusive seats UT tickets are in the Touchdown Club located in the North Endzone. The Touchdown Club includes Sections 13C-19C are are popular because fans can retreat inside the club area for food, drinks or to get out of the heat. Seats in the TD Club are among the most expensive in the stadium. The other club area that offers similar amenities with a sideline view is the Texas Club (Sections 28C-29C) which straddle the 50-yard line on the East side of DKR.
To find the right seats on our site, we recommend you search a few sections you like to find the price that suits your budget. Then you can make sure the quantity of tickets available meets your need. Last, you may consider whether the rows available in that section offer you the view you desire. The lower rows on the first-level of DKR are excellent for seeing the field on the near sideline but the higher rows do allow you to more easily follow the action on all parts of the field. It is personal choice for each fan what type of seat they prefer, but we offer a wide selection so are able to give each visitor plenty of good options to choose from.
