Try transit to see Austin FC push for the playoffs

 


In just its second Major League Soccer season, Austin FC is aiming to make the club’s first appearance in the MLS Cup Playoffs.

The club sits in second place in the Western Conference with ten matches remaining in the regular season – seven teams qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs beginning in October.

Austin FC plays three of its next four matches at home this month, and the best way to get to Q2 Stadium is by rail, bus, biking or walking. If you have not taken public transportation in Austin before, trying it out for a trip to see a match is a great way to get introduced.
  • MetroRail: The Kramer Red Line station is a short walk from Q2 Stadium. Soon, fans will be able to take the Red Line directly to the stadium grounds. CapMetro broke ground on the forthcoming McKalla Station in July.
  • MetroBus: Routes 3, 383, 392 and 803 all run near the stadium and CapMetro provides increased frequencies on these routes for game days. Use CapMetro’s trip planner to find the route that works best for you
  • Bike: Q2 Stadium provides a free bike valet at the east side of the stadium. Drop off your bike with the attendant and have peace of mind when you go into the stadium to cheer for the verde-and-black.
For more information on ways to access Q2 Stadium on match days, visit Austin FC’s mobility website and CapMetro’s special service website.
