There's something special about Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on football gamedays, and it's something only understood if you're part of the action and experience it. After all, grandchildren don't often hear epic tales about games watched on TV, and your homeowners association probably won't let you fire a cannon every time the Longhorns score.
Mack Brown and the Longhorns kick off their six-game 2011 home schedule on Sept. 3 against Rice, and there's no time like the present to become a Texas Football season ticket holder. Great season ticket packages are still available through the UT Athletics Ticket Office and/or the Longhorn Foundation.
In case you're still debating, here are the top 10 reasons why you should come early, be loud, stay late and wear orange -- for every game.
1. Access to exclusive events, offers
Become a Longhorn Foundation donor for as low as $150. In addition to a season ticket purchase, donors receive hospitality and special parking options. Season ticket holders also receive priority for away games, the AT&T Red River Rivalry game against Oklahoma and postseason tickets.
2. Mack Brown
A member of the Longhorn Hall of Honor, Brown joins legendary Darrell Royal as the only two head coaches in UT history to reach the 100-win plateau at Texas. Through the past decade, his Longhorns have won seven of nine bowl games, including a stretch of five straight for the first time in school history.
3. Enjoy the comforts of DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium
As part of the 2009 stadium renovation and north end zone expansion, chair back seating and gameday hospitality areas are now available to season ticket holders. Experience the Texas Football atmosphere in the comfort of the Terrace Club on Six and Champions Club, then sit with your friends in the north end chair back seating area.
4. Invest in your business
Season tickets can work for your company as employee incentives and rewards. Longhorns games are also a great place to entertain clients, prospects and employees.
5. Savings
By purchasing 2011 Texas Football season tickets, you save 19 percent for all six home games against regular ticket prices.
6. One word -- tailgating
Nothing beats the Texas Football atmosphere, so get ready to be part of the largest college football stadium environment west of the Mississippi before you even enter the stadium.
7. Next-level skill
In the past 13 NFL Drafts, 15 UT players have been selected in the first round. What starts here really does change the world.
8. Support student-athletes
Your Longhorn Foundation donation goes directly tothe academic and athletic support of UT's 550 student-athletes.
9. Family tradition
How better to spend quality time with your family than wearing burnt orange and cheering on the Longhorns?
10. Entertainment value
From Bevo to Smokey the Cannon, from Big Bertha to the Showband of the Southwest, UT games offer excitement at every turn, all centered around the storied tradition that is Texas Football.
