Visiting Supporters Guide to Austin FC

Enjoy your stay. Leave your three points.

Welcome to Austin

Come for the soccer. Stay for the good times. Austin Anthem welcomes visitors from around the soccer universe to our beautiful city.

Basics

Austin FC plays at Q2 Stadium, a soccer specific stadium built in 2021. It's located at the intersection of Braker and Burnet in north Austin, near the Domain area.

Tickets for away supporters is done through the Austin FC front office. Away supporters are typically seated in Section 228. Away supporters should enter at the Northeast Gate unless travelling with the group, which may receive a different entry point for the safety of all attendees.

Please contact your team's supporter group for ticket information. Your local SG has contact information via the Independent Supporters Council. Austin FC season tickets are sold out, and single match tickets typically sell out as soon as they are available, so any tickets you see are resale. Visiting fans are not allowed in the Austin FC supporters section.

Stay near the stadium for the best matchday option. The Hilton Garden Inn is the closest hotel to the stadium, and you'll get a discount if you choose to stay there. It's within walking distance of the stadium. There are several other hotels at the Domain.
Austin guests also like to stay Downtown, and you can take the Red Line up to the stadium on matchday. Most downtown hotels are within walking distance of Downtown Station, including the Fairmont, Hilton Convention Center, Marriott Courtyard/Fairfield Inn, and Downtown Marriott.

Transportation near Q2 Stadium requires planning if you're not staying nearby. We encourage you to take public transportation if possible. The Red Line's Kramer Station is about a 10 minute walk to the stadium, with special service on matchdays, but the stadium is also served by other bus lines. The Red Line has a Downtown Station for those staying downtown. Find out more from Capital Metro, our region's transportation authority and operator. Using a ridesharing service is also an option.
If you must bring a vehicle, we suggest using the Park and Ride at the North Lamar Transit Center, then riding in on Capital Metro. You are welcome to contact us if you need to drop something off before the match. Extremely limited on-site parking must be reserved in advance through Pavemint.
