NEW YORK and AUSTIN, TX – October 18, 2019– CLEAR, the secure identity company that uses biometrics to build a frictionless and secure world and The University of Texas at Austin today announced that Texas Football is the first college athletic program to join CLEAR’s nationwide network, which will provide fans with fast and easy access into Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.  After a quick, one-time enrollment, Longhorns can get from the gate to their seat quickly and easily with a tap of their finger and a scan of their ticket. 

“We’re always looking for ways to enhance the fan experience at our athletics venues. This partnership provides Longhorns fans with a convenient option that will certainly do that while making our stadium operations more efficient. We’re thrilled to be the first athletic department in the country providing this service to our fans.” said Chris Del Conte, Vice President and Director of Athletics at the University of Texas. 

CLEAR’s lane and enrollment pods will be available next to Gate 25 during all remaining regular-season home games.  Longhorns fans can begin their free enrollment online and find additional information, including hours of operation here on the CLEAR website.  Students with The Big Ticket must enter DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium via the designated student entry gates.  Additional information about Texas Athletics’ student entry process can be found here.

“Launching at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium is a natural evolution of the work we’ve done to enhance the fan experience at MLB, MLS, NBA, NFL, NHL and WNBA games at iconic venues across the country,” said CLEAR’s Head of Sports Ed O’Brien.  “We’re thrilled to partner with the University of Texas and Learfield IMG College to make CLEAR available to Longhorns Fans at this storied institution so they can get into the game faster and easier and enjoy more of what they came to see.”    

University students who have a valid school email address and government-issued ID (e.g. driver’s license or passport) can enroll in CLEAR for free on-site, or upgrade to a CLEAR Plus membership at the significantly discounted rate of $50/year for four years.  A CLEAR Plus membership, which provides frictionless access at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) and all 60+ locations in CLEAR’s nationwide network, typically costs $179/year.
