To the game and back

Getting there
Take a rideshare from downtown. The arena says drop-off can use any parking-lot gate. Doors open one hour before the start for most events.
Getting back
Exit through the doors closest to Section 125 and meet your driver at the Passenger & Rideshare Pick-up Zone in Lot 5.

The arena prohibits pickups on the surrounding streets. It publishes no pickup times, and post-game prices and waits depend on the app.

Getting back
Ride Route 24 back west along Houston Street to downtown and Centro Plaza.

VIA’s timetable shows less frequent trips late in the evening, and Saturday and Sunday run on their own timetables. Check the last trip after a late game before you rely on it.

Where visiting fans stay

Downtown and the River WalkA first visit with the Alamo and the River Walk

Stay by the River Walk and the Alamo, with the widest choice of hotels and restaurants, and ride east to the arena.

To the arena
Take a rideshare and get dropped off at any Frost Bank Center parking-lot gate, or ride VIA Route 24 east along Houston Street to the Frost Bank Center stop.
After the game
Exit through the doors closest to Section 125 and meet your rideshare in the Lot 5 pickup zone, or ride Route 24 back downtown.
The tradeoff
It’s a rideshare or bus ride to the arena, not a walk. Hotel Valencia charges for valet and adds nightly fees; this guide couldn’t confirm parking at the other downtown hotels.
