After a quick, one-time enrollment, Longhorns can get from the gate to their seat quickly and easily with a tap of their finger and a scan of their ticket.
“We’re always looking for ways to enhance the fan experience at our athletics venues. This partnership provides Longhorns fans with a convenient option that will certainly do that while making our stadium operations more efficient. We’re thrilled to be the first athletic department in the country providing this service to our fans.” said Chris Del Conte, Vice President and Director of Athletics at the University of Texas.
