The excitement is building as San Antonio gears up to host the 2025 NCAA Men’s Final Four, alongside a packed schedule of events, including live music, tailgates and parades. With an influx of visitors, expect increased traffic around the Alamodome and downtown throughout the event. TTI Research Engineer and Community Coordination Program Manager Debbie Albert shares expert tips to make your trip a smooth and stress-free experience.
- Know where you plan to park and have a backup. Pick your parking spot based on how traffic leaves the venue and park in a lot that allows you to leave in the direction you want to go.
- If you can, pre-purchase your parking. Knowing where you are going is so much better than hunting for an open lot.
- Look at alternatives to driving. Sometimes walking or taking a shuttle can be quicker and much less expensive.
- Visit the 2025 Final Four event website and check out the Final Four event guide. These guides typically contain information on transportation options, maps for the event and road closures.
- Give yourself extra time to get around.
- Pack your patience.
