Texas A&M Gameday Shuttle Access
Coming for an Aggie football game? One of the biggest advantages of The Howdy Retreat is its access to the Texas A&M gameday transportation system.

The Howdy Retreat is located on a Texas A&M gameday shuttle route, making it easy to get to Kyle Field without having to deal with gameday parking and traffic.

Texas A&M gameday shuttles are free and typically begin approximately 3 hours before kickoff and continue through 1 hour after the game. Service operates throughout the game, making it easy to leave your vehicle at the house and enjoy Aggie Game Day.

Gameday routes and stops can change from game to game, so we recommend checking the Texas A&M Transportation Services website before your visit for the latest route maps, schedules, and service information.
