Parking
There is parking on San Jacinto and 23rd, that area. Be careful that it does
not have a sign that reads UT PERMIT REQUIRED AT ALL OTHER TIMES. There's also parking behind the Texas Museum/IMAX theater on MLK and Congress, which would be 18th and 17th streets. These are a 10 min. walk from the venue.
If you wanna ensure parking, get there like at 9AM to San Jacinto and I guess hang around the school or at MT's until it's time for the tournament.
You can drop off any players/equipment at the venue then park.
