With a near record-setting crowd expected to attend UTSA football’s home opener at the Alamodome this weekend, VIA is offering its Park and Ride Service for sports fans trying to avoid traffic.

The Roadrunners will take on the Texas State Bobcats at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in a highly anticipated regional rivalry. According to a post on social media platform X from KABB sports anchor Chuck Miketinac, some 45,000 fans are expected to attend. That’s not far from UTSA’s all-time attendance record of 56,743 set back in 2011.

In anticipation of traffic woes, VIA is offering Park and Ride Service from its Crossroads station, 151 N. Crossroads Blvd., to the Alamodome starting at 11:30 a.m. The service costs $2.60 round trip and runs up until an hour after the end of the game.

The Bobcats are coming off a shock 42-31 victory over Baylor last weekend, while the Roadrunners and star quarterback Frank Harris came up short against the University of Houston Cougars in their first game.

Despite last weekend’s loss, UTSA is still the favorite to win this weekend, according to BETMGM.

Tickets are still available for Saturday’s game, starting at only $19.
