Schedule and Information:
The tailgate party is held on the 2nd floor of the South Pharmacy building. Please allow yourself time to get to the tailgate as the campus is very busy on game day and traffic can become congested. Also, due to construction throughout campus and specifically around the pharmacy buildings, some walkways may be closed. Signage will be posted directing guests to the Pharmacy Building. Entrances are most accessible on the west and north sides of the pharmacy building. See our parking and directions pages for more information. If you have any specific concerns or needs, please call Lauren McIlwain at 512-475-9759.

Football Information

The College of Pharmacy often has very few-- if any-- tickets available to sell to its alumni. However, if you are unable to purchase your own tickets, there is a small chance we may have some available. You may only order 4 tickets at one time. We also require that you pre-pay via check. For more information, call Lauren McIlwain at 512-475-9759. Also, if you are currently a Texas Exes member, the game can be viewed indoors at the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center.
