Just got back from the game and a horrifying interaction with the bag check lady and security guard when entering on the left side of gate 1. The previous week, I had been rudely accosted coming in the same gate, to turn out all my pockets. I showed them my phone, cars keys, and wallet which was all I had and then asked several other season ticket holders at seats around me if they got the same treatment. They said no. I thought it odd, but to make sure it didn’t happen at this game I approached the table with everything in my pockets in my hand and showed the lady, then continued to the gate. Just before I got to the gate, I was stopped by a security guard and marched back to the table to again show the lady all the items I had already shown her. In the meantime, both ladies were now loudly being abusive about me in what I assume was an attempt to humiliate me in front of the people watching their spectacle…after I did everything in my power to be courteous and anticipate the odd request from the previous week. It was a shameful, despicable display. I’ve been a season holder since the opening of TDECU; the first year on my own and then after that in a group of friends. I paid $375 this year to apparently be abused two games in a row. Again I asked around, none of the other season ticket holders close by had this happen to them. I don’t understand why U of H security beats up fans (literally search “u of h security beats up fans” to see that horror), abuses and tries to humiliate us upon entry to the stadium, serves us terrible food (it really is awful) that takes forever to buy, and then expects us to pay for the privilege. I was absolutely fuming for the first 3 quarters of the game. After over 200 U of H games (my first one in 1977 when I was 9), I think I’m done. I will not renew my season pass. This hurts me very much. I met Andre Ware the day he won the Heisman at Rice Stadium. I’ve been a supporter for 41 years. I don’t understand why this is now such a miserable experience. If a change in facilities management is ever made, please please try to respect the attendees just a little bit. You wouldn’t have to do much to vastly improve the experience. Just please try to reward loyal fans instead of punish them. Thank you in advance.

Ok, it's better than Robertson, which was demolished to make way for this one, but the game I went to last fall, we were blown away by some stupidity: a) The PA system wasn't working, so every announcement was garbled, fuzzy, staticky and inaudible, including the refs announcing penalties on the field. b) The play clock was about 1:30 behind at all times, so that on 3rd and 2, the scoreboard still said 2nd and 10, so it was IMPOSSIBLE to follow the game action for the ENTIRE game. The stadium had been open for 3 months at this point (it was the last home game) and the folks around us told us that this had been going on for the previous 5 games already, meaning there was no one at the controls, just the school being completely asleep at the wheel. c) 35,000 of the 40,000 seats are metal bleachers with no chairbacks, meaning you'll be uncomfortable for 3-3.5 hours. d) The entire interior is slate-grey, aesthetically butt-ugly, as if ZERO forethought other than cost was considered during the design phase. All of this is amazing considering this is for a college football team in a city of 6.3 million with FOUR pro sports teams, and given the fact that they are (and always will be) the third most popular university in the city even though the top 2 are 160 and 100 miles away, respectively. 2 stars instead of 1 for sentiment only, but stay home and watch on the flatscreen rather than waste your $ here.

This use to be old Robertson stadium. "Old" I tell ya, I saw Earth, Wind and Fire in this stadium as a youth. This is a historical site that use to host huge neutral site highschool football games, city playoff games, rock concerts, track meets & etc. It's on the western border of the University of Houston University Park (Central campus) campus. About a decade ago under new leadership, to stimulate interest in athletics, the university decided to renovate the stadium, instead of building a new one. Interesting, the skeleton of the old stadium has allowed a masterful retrofitting. The old high school styled stadium, now looks like a new high school stadium with and updated amenities. I attend the UH 2018 Red and White spring game. I took the metro rail, which let me of right at the stadium. I appreciate the few stairs that took me to an elevated entrance. Enjoyed the view and appreciated that UH sought to preserve this historical venue. I've seen one UH football game a few years ago and the spring game I mentioned. TDECU is home of the Houston Cougars who are trying to have a resurgence in their athletic program have a nice venue.

Fudruckers at the stadium is AWFUL!!!! Most of the employees move VERY slow. 80% of the menu was NOT available at ANY point during the game. The girl waiting on people, moved about as fast as a sloth, she is rude, & made customers feel like we were bothering her. The other cashier waited & served 7 people to her 1. I'm NOT kidding either. There were so MANY angry customers. I MEAN A LOT!!! They only had fries, burgers, beer, & water. No fountain drinks or ANY other items on the menu available at all. The XFL game was fantastic!! Stadium itself was pretty clean, INCLUDING the bathrooms!! Which is surprising, cause most stadiums are filthy from the fans & not enough people there to clean. Not here though, I seen a lot of people cleaning. Other vendors there were MUCH more pleasant. This is the ONLY 2 reasons I brought it up to 3 stars. Next XFL game we attend, definitely NOT bothering with Fudruckers! Save yourself the trouble folks, DON'T go to Fudruckers at the football stadium, NOT worth the hassle, disappointment, & aggravation.

First, to correct another post I saw, this is NOT an extension of the old Robertson stadium. They tore that building down and built this from scratch. The orientation is not even the same . Food and drinks are fine. Building design is great. My only complaint about this building is that if you have seats on the upper level the concessions are limited and the restrooms are nonexistent. you have to walk all the way downstairs. So if you don’t want to walk roughly 150 stairs down and up to relieve yourself over the course of the game you best find seats on the lower bowl. The building is designed for expansion so there is hope that they can implement that in the future, and I certainly hope they do . No escalator but there is an elevator.... gotta wait for it.

I'd never been to this venue for any kind of event. While I do feel there could have been better traffic handling, even that wasn't as frustrating as some arenas I have attended previously. More of a Family atmosphere than I'd anticipated. While there was alcohol available, everyone I met showed respect and consideration for others in attendance. I can see myself possibly attending further events here in the future, sports and otherwise. An up to date modern arena with the capability to handle the crowds they may draw. No doubt an outdoor facility, so when weather may become a factor, plan accordingly. Overall, a good value for Familiy entertainment. *be prepared to walk*

I had been to their old stadium, however, I was lucky enough to visit their new stadium this year vs their game against Arizona. Their old coach was coming back into town and the brought the crowd! It was an amazing atmosphere. The stadium, does not go to capacity on most games, but even at partially full it still gets loud. With it newly built it has all of the modern amenities. My only complaint was the paid parking. They had a lot of pass parking, but the paid parking was pretty far offsite and none of the workers knew where to direct people. I was just lucky enough to drive towards the gym area and found paid surface parking within minutes of a shuttle bus.

Went to my first XFL game here and it was a great time. The stadium staff are extremely friendly and make you feel welcome. The seating is much more approachable then the larger stadiums. I can actually see the players and the field. While the concessions are stadium level prices the quality is extremely high compared to most others. All the food I saw seemed of much higher quality than your typical deep fried american grease. They had hamburgers, chicken, rice, and bbq with a the sides. Houston in general does food right. Overall just a great experience.

It had been over 10 years since I had attended a game at Houston and back then the stadium was a dump! I am happy to say it was a great experience this past Saturday! It was a first for my son's and they had a blast. The stadium is very nice but a still little utilitarian. It is on the smaller side but very seat was good and the food, drink selection was better than most. Even though the Coogs got crushed we had a great time and my kids have asked to go back for another game!

My first time back there in a while. They have done a really nice job and its a terrific stadium. Make sure you have a parking plan and pre-paying is probably the way to go. We spent a while finding a "txt to pay" lot since most were pre-paid and expect to pay at least $30+. It would probably help if they maybe stepped up their concession game. At gametime is was about 95 degrees and when we went to get drinks in the first quarter they were out of ice. We will still go back.

The atmosphere was great!!! It was over 6000 fans @ the stadium. They were playing BYU College. The food was on point.! They had cheese burgers with fresh French fries, chicken tenderloin with fries, pretzels, popcorn! The stadium was filled with fun loving spectators and music was playing in the background. The stadium & stands were clean of debris. Everyone wore their masks and practiced safe distancing. Overall it was exciting and the restrooms were fully stocked & clean!

The ticket process is the worst. They had the type in your credit card number into a slow computer system as well as when taking cash also typed it in to a slow system to print out a ticket even slower. it took nearly 3 to 4 mins person. The concession stand was the worst I have ever witnessed. They were lazy slow workers who yelled and augured at each other while taking orders, showing frustration, and slowly but lazily got your food. We were in line for over 20 mins.

Texas vs. U of H - great game today. TDECU was rocking. Texas ranked number 8 coming into this game, and our Coogs showed up to give them a game. In the end, U of H got screwed by the refs on a 4th & 1, where the RB clearly had the 1st down with his forward progress. Yes, the Coogs lost, but WHAT A GAME!!! And YES, we tailgated with PI KAPP Alumni.. BBQ, sausage, cole slaw, and Mac & cheese. Beer all around... GREAT DAY.

It was one of the best blueprints experiencing University of Houston in and moving forward with their Innovations. It was a pleasure to see all types of culture and different races combine to be successful even though I graduated from Prairie View A&M University and I'm from Houston, The Fifth Ward area. University uh Houston has contribute to help the unfortunate communities as well. The TDECU Stadium is fabulous.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND PARKING. It took more than 1 hour to get from Cullen and 45 to the $25 lots. We missed the entire 1st quarter. As a final insult, mobile data at the facility does not work, no concessions were stocked properly and too few were open. We couldn't get water and popcorn until the 4th quarter and had to dodge fights if we ventured out of our seats. TOTAL DISASTER.

We went to see the XFL game. It was a perfect night! Great game and good people. We had so much fun. The seating are bleachers, people brought cushions to sit on and I feel like the game was definitely fan friendly. The players kept the audience engaged throughout the game. The only reason this had 4 stars is because parking and leaving were a total nightmare. Maybe next game will be more organized

I’m so happy you found it so I could be happy to hear that you’re feeling well I love your family I miss them and I’m sorry I didn’t know that I love your dad and I’m sorry for the way you feel but you have a wonderful day I love you and I’m glad you got your money and you have a good time at work tomorrow so you don’t need a problem I don’t have any problems I don’t want you getting hurt

For their first year in the Big 12, I was pretty disappointed. They ran out of soda before the start of the 3rd quarter. Napkins were visibly missing from most condiment stands and the hand towels in the restrooms were also out. The stadium was probably half full. They are not ready for prime time power 5 football. Hopefully they can make some changes before next season.

Not a bad seat in the place. Full length concourse allows you to see the game from anywhere. Night games are super fun to watch. Afternoon games are OK if you can put up with Houston heat. Note: you do have to climb stairs (they explain that it is to keep a minimal profile). And UH is one of a handful of colleges to serve alcohol. Great atmosphere when they sell out.

I went to a U of H game and experienced this stadium for this first time this year. Frankly, I was less than impressed with the overall quality of the stadium. The bathrooms were dirty (and only had one mirror which I found pretty odd), the food selection was very limited and basic (and not good), and the stadium itself just seemed really beaten down and old.

The place was clean and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. Even being back at a new stadium was a great delight! The food was hot and made fresh to order. The employees were friendly and respectful. All the spectators were interacting and having fun watching the football game. Everyone wore their masks and followed Uof H rules and regulations.

Plenty of exits and entrances to quickly get in and out. The staff is always nice. The restrooms are clean and plenty of beer vendors. Free Wi-Fi. The views from every section that I have been in have been really nice. Located next to the Metro rail, which makes it easy to take the rail from/to downtown before/after a game for parking/drinks.

Basic University size stadium. Not enough rest room per number of people the stadium is able to accommodate. Toilet top person ratio off. Seating is ok but if with family or for that matter by yourself, bring a blanket or something soft to sit on. Metal seat are not to comfortable for prolonged period of time. The filed looks great BTW.

It wasn't ok, security would not let me in with a 16 oz bottle of water. It was hot at the PV game. There mentally is very shallow. That is probably a reason for average attendance. If it wasn't for the students , I rest my case. Food service is very slow, out of five checkout machines only two were working. We need better management.

Great seeing and HBCU in Grambling on a national stage vs University of Houston football program. The stadium is a great, clean and a family oriented atmosphere MeekandZeke On Facebook: Meek Zeke On TickTok: Meek Zeke On YouTube: MeekandZeke On Twitter: @MeekandZ On Instagram: MeekandZeke On Stationhead (download the app): MeekandZeke

Home of the Houston Cougars!! An AMAZING setting with the tailgating all around. Adult beverages are available INSIDE of the stadium. NOT s norm for college football elsewhere. The Club Level bartenders are second to NONE. AND the club level bars stay OPEN for an hour AFTER the game ends. What's next? UH Über? There's an idea...

Really nice stadium and atmosphere. Attended the first XFL game, which was fun. The concessions however were understaffed or just not trained well. Hopefully it was a hiccup for the 1st game and will improve drastically. Also the giant garbage bag size pre-made popcorn that sat next to the popcorn machines.... uhh...no. …

Went to the first Roughnecks game. The concession lines took 20 to 30 minutes, this is not okay. There needs to be the guy that sells in the aisles. Also, attempted to use the suggested "seatz"app during the 2cd quarter, the order was recieved but it never got serviced. Otherwise the game was fun and the energy was very good

Got a chance to go to the football game. My son surprised me with tickets. We have a good time at the game. A our team did win. This was the first time I have gone to the stadium sense the rebuilding. I was pleased. Great view and classic. Go Ruff-Necks. Great place for football. It you have not been, go you're be pleased.

Home of the Houston Cougars! A great stadium. Sight lines are great, in game production is outstanding. The Spirit of Houston keeps the place rocking, and prices at concessions are reasonable. The Coogs are having some rough seasons as of late, but UH Athletics still provides a top notch game day experience.

Get it together! Worst food and beverage stand organization. Slow paced, took me till 2nd quarter to get through the slow concession lines. Parking was a mess. The entire thing was a mess! The Seatz App was only in one section but yet so many Seatz associates standing around doing nothing

Great game, hoping UoH would have won, but is ok. Great stadium, any spot you sit you'll see the game perfectly. The bleachers are a bit uncomfortable but I think you are able to take portable seats. Parking is very confusing/ difficult. I recommend the metro rail or get dropped off.

The stadium itself is pretty nice looking. The bathrooms are taken care of as much as realistically possible. I mean they're not like immaculate, but you have to realize it's a stadium and it could be WAY worse. You could tell the workers are at least trying to keep it clean.

A unique sports stadium to witness and take in the spirit of UoH. Tickets were affordable, fans were pumped, ready for the game. Stall prices were average for food/drinks. Great place to watch the newcomers unleash incredible talent on the field. Get er dun!

Great stadium, every seat has a great view of the game and downtown is always in the background. Also, there are some great standing room spots to watch if you want. For the beer drinkers, you can find some No Label brew of H around the north east corner.

University of Houston's premier athletic stadium! Ample parking including a garage! Phenomenal, electrifying stadium! Extraordinary fan support! Alumni as well as students! The best college stadium in the state of Texas! Who's house? Coog's house!!!!!!!!

There's absolutely no help when it comes to finding parking. There aren't any signs or any clear cut public parking for non-students or non-reserved lots and even the church charges for parking. It was horrible and the parking attendants were even worse.

Went to watch the xfl kick off game. Roughnecks won. Hopefully Houston had a second football team to watch and cheer for. It was fun and the place is easy to find and cheaper than the other professional team venues. Texas Dow Employees Credit Union.

Nice Bleacher Bowl but i warn you, do not go in early fall. it is hot AF. Also, a beer vendor tried to run me down with his cart. like he literally ran into me and told me to get the F out of the way. Maybe because i was wearing an away teams shirt.

Really nice place to watch a football game. I went during covid-19, so that certainly changed the experience, but there was easy parking close by. Unless you get in the top of the third level, it didn't look like there was a bad seat in the house.

I would give it five stars for a college game. I went to a high school game there, so not exactly best for that. It stadium itself though was superb, good location of the restrooms, decent food, great lighting, ease of access to seating sections.

I would have to say from walking around the first level that all the seats are pretty good. The only issue is there's no covering so if you're sitting in the seat that's under the sun it'll really take a beating on you by the end of the game.

The garage parking is good to a certain extent. Get there early and park on the bottom. Get there late and park on top. It takes an hour and a half to get oit of it. Campus police needs more training. Other than that, it is a nice stadium.

Came here to attend the inaugural game for the Houston Roughnecks of the XFL and it was a good stadium experience. This is a college stadium (University of Houston) so it did lack of some of the more modern amenities that you may find in

It had good seats in the Club section and bench seats everywhere else. The fans were better than any event we have attended. It was like an elevated college game and the open air stadium was perfect in cool overcast weather. Great time.

Rules for attending seem a little strict. It was clean and taken care of. Bathroom doors are super hard to close. Good seats from everywhere. Well laid out stadium. Enjoyed the football game. At 25% capacity for covid restrictions.

Nice place. Pretty close covered parking for 20 bucks. Stadium is pretty big. I suggest to get the middle to top row seating so you can see the whole field. Beers are 10 a piece. They have a chic fila there. Peanuts are awesome.

Love the stadium and the Houston Cougars HOWEVER the PA system is just a lot of noise. Myself and all the people sitting near me on the home side of the stadium at the 40 yard line agree. We were all discussing it Thursday night

I haven't been to a college football game for many years. Visiting with a group of veterans, this was an excellent experience, despite a lot of rain. The crowd was fantastic, the concessions were good, the people were great..

Easy to navigate, security was thorough and fair... moved us through the lines, polite and courteous! Stadium was clean and appeared well kept... Social distancing allowed, overall positive experience for a 1st time visit.

State of the art. Definitely the nicest stadium in Houston. Great sightlines! Concessions include BB's Tex-Orleans, Chick-Fil-A, Maui Wowi, BBQ, Karbach, 8th Wonder, and St. Arnold beer among the usuals, and mixed drinks.

Nice football field stadium but the price of what I pay for my seats were unsatisfied and the foods drinks ways over Priced and some of the Refreshment Stands ran out of food before half time that was crazy un believable

All in all, good but if your hungry, bring your own food! The lines were crazy long and the food app didn't work so well. Long story so I'll just say that the food was not like the pics in any way, shape, or form!

Beautiful stadium I just don't know why half of it has normal seat and the other half has high school style bench seating. Check where you're sitting before you buy tickets. You don't want to be on those benches.

I visited TDECU for the first time covering the XFL. Was quite surprised how loud the acoustics were in and around the stadium. I have not visited as a spectator, so I have no opinion from that view point.

Great atmosphere. Slow food and beer service. Uber to the game traffic is bad getting out. Bring a seat cushion if your seats are bench seat. And a jacket..bring a beach ball too security loves that..

XFL game was great, Houston won! Concessions were horrible. Warm, outrageously priced beer, credit card only in violation of federal law, with some concession workers accepting cash and pocketing it.

Went for a Houston Roughnecks game and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Stadium was clean, plenty of parking, and great food. Can't speak to the bathrooms, didn't use them, but customer service was A1!

The seats are typical stadium seats. But all the seats are good to see the field. The fireworks were a nice touch! Not many food vendor options. But the prices aren't horrible. Let's go COUGARS!!

Went here for a Ford truck month special event, first time in Houston. I didn't see a football game but I was cool to check out the field! The food provided was from the stadium and was very good

Pretty good venue. Food and drinks are pricey, as can be expected, but the facilities are nice. Parking can be tough for people who don't have an inside track, or not involved with the university

The stadium area has a large space with organized office rooms, playgrounds and parking spaces. A lot of programs including University games, events, and concerts take place each and every week.

Great stadium views are wonderful no matter where you sit. Sadly the entire stadium was out of coca cola which is strange! That was a little disappointing since I was the DD that night.

Beautiful stadium and plenty of personels to help direct. WHO'S HOUSE??! IT'S THE COOG'S HOUSE!!! Love the tail gates and vendors prior to the event. Plus the Cougar's WINS!!! GO COOGS!

Great college stadium. Metal bleachers so make sure to bring a cushion. Great views everywhere. Make sure you leave early to avoid the traffic or take it into account for the game.

Had a wonderful time watching the Houston Cougars football team play a wonderful game! The stadium is not in the best neighborhood but they do give you a great GameDay experience!

Clean, lots of airflow from the concourse, not a bad seat in the house, and most importantly AMAZING FOOD. Turkey leg hut, fry Shack, Bbq, Waffle Bus, tacos a go-go. *Chefs kiss*

Very nice stadium with UH. Lot of parking. On the game day, regular student may have problem for parking otherwise excellent location for college football and other big events.

Great stadium. Very clean and decent prices. Only downside is there isn't really anyone inforcing seating so you can buy nose bleeds and move to the front seats if you wanted.

I love my Alma Mater's stadium and the whole college experience of play on campus. When I played basketball there in the mid eighties, we had to go to the Astrodome to play.

The Houston Cougars Football Program has grown a lot over the past decade. It’s only going to get better. Should definitely come out and enjoy a Football game on a Saturday.

Hard to find parking and no one directing traffic but the stadium is huge, clean and see several less with food, beer and wine. ViPClub and Bleechers and individual seats.

Great stadium unless you want food or drinks. It can take up to an hour to get a beer or food with only 3 people in line. Have never seen anything like that in my life

What a great stadium, not a bad seat in the house and the views are amazing. The food and service are also wonderful. Would definitely go back and enjoy another game.

Nice stadium, lots of options for food and beverage and unobstructed views from what looked like everywhere. Take the train in if you can.. drops you off at stadium.

Great place to catch the cougars play. Every seat has a good view. If needed, it is ready to expand and add more seats on the north and south sections(end zones).

Nice views from most all seats. The upper sections offer great views. Should have made more capacity, if they want to attract games with the larger colleges.

This was my first time at the stadium and it's so awesome. Really loved it Has lot of snacks and venders. Come out as soon as you can to watch our Roughnecks

Wasn't pleasant. My bag was stolen. They also told me no purses are allowed except small ones but i seen quite a few women with purses larger than a clutch.

XFL Review The stadium is nice. 1st time attending a Houston Roughnecks game. The crowd was live. The main criticism is charging $30 and $40 bucks to park.

No bad seat ! College football has the best hype around! The band doesn't stop hyping everyone up! Craft and domestic/import beer all around the stadium.

Fans where fun, food was good, and the Jayhawks won 48-30!! I always a joy to see my son and nephew play together Hishaw # 20offense Gaines# 20 defense

The TDECU is suppose to be a non-profit financial institution. They have this much of extra money to be able to pay for naming rights to a stadium?

It is a beautifully renovated stadium with a great atmosphere. The club level area is very nice, with a great view of the field. Go Coogs!!!!

We had a great time at the XFL Roughnecks and Battlehawks game. Seats were comfortable. Fans were into it and a good crowd. We will be back.

Went to the XFL Game great stadium just LONG LINES EVERYWHERE YOU GO. Should have opened up some more stands. Shortest line was like 12 mins

I had never been on the U of H campus before, and it's really nice! The stadium was easy to get to, and my husband really enjoyed himself.

Great stadium with great views. It's a shame the food service is Aramark but I guess it can't be helped. I love seeing a game here though

Very beautiful and modern stadium. Great food and so many options. Atmosphere is fun with UH cheer. The outside is very beautiful too.

The bathrooms are great, the stadium is open air which makes it get cold at times but nothing too crazy. It’s an awesome experience.

Very nice stadium. Only a few years old. This is a very loud stadium and it is easily accessible from downtown via the light rail.

Good view of the playing field from any seat or section. Lack of restrooms on the upper concourse is biggest drawback. Go Coogs!

Super view from any seat. Ample food stands and restrooms. Parking is short distance. Light rail is adjacent to the stadium.

TDECU Stadium is currently rated as 4.6 stars. I am here by giving the permission to change the ratings to 5 stars. Thanks.

First time at the stadium for a Roughnecks game! It was lit! Stadium was great. Clean facilities and easy to get around.

Nice clean open air stadium, on a college campus, with great parking options and train pulls up right near the entrance!

Clean stadium. Was nice to see water refill stations available for free-very smart. Enjoyed the game. Go Coogs.

Sound system is much too loud and annoying. Concessions are slow although the food is better than Minute Maid.

Clean and bright facilities, fun activities during the game breaks, reasonable parking fees! Fun family time.

The atmosphere here is amazing. You can buy good food here. Can watch the cougars or the XFL roughnecks here.
