Heading to Moody Center? Here’s what you need to know
Where is Moody Center? Where do I park?
With over 15,000 seats, Moody Center has become the go-to arena for popular touring artists since opening in 2022. Located on the University of Texas at Austin campus at 2001 Robert Dedman Drive, the venue gives you the option to pre-purchase a parking spot at one of five nearby parking garages ahead of the show: Manor Garage, Trinity Garage, Parking Garage B, State Garage G and State Garage R. The ADA drop-off and pick-up area is located northwest of the venue on Robert Dedman Drive. The box office is at the southwest corner of the arena.
There are two entrances, on the west and east sides of the building. Guests must pass through metal detectors and a bag search before entry.
At the end of the night, designated rideshare drop-off and pick-up is on Clyde Littlefield Drive. The roads surrounding Moody Center get congested after events, so expect a slow departure from the area, but hot dog vendors are often stationed outside if you’re hungry for a late-night snack.
What is the bag policy at Moody Center? What can I bring?
Moody Center permits clear bags that do not exceed 14″ x 14″ x 6″ or small clutch purses that do not exceed 5″ x 9″ x 1.5″ for their events. The venue prohibits recording equipment apart from smartphones. Smoking and vaping are not allowed on the premises. Find a full list of allowed and prohibited items at moodycenteratx.com.
Inside the Moody Center: Food, drink and seating
There are two levels inside the arena, with entrance portals labeled to identify the section where you’re seated. Upper-level seating is terraced and Moody Center does permit binoculars. Front-of-stage seating is also available for purchase, but the space is a standing area for some concerts. Premium suites are also available. The venue follows a “no re-entry policy.” Guests who exit the building during an event will not be admitted back inside. However, if you need some air, there is a spacious balcony on the second level.
Inside the complex, you will find a variety of food and beverage options available for purchase from vendors, including pizza slices from Tony C’s, brisket sandwiches from Stubb’s Bar-B-Q, and ice cream cones from Mister Softee. Alcohol is also available for purchase. All transactions at Moody Center are completely cashless and prices tend to be steep. There are no water refill stations at the venue, but there are frequently water coolers outside on hot days.
