This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Texas chapter.

As Halloween approaches, the color orange is beginning to show up in restaurants and stores in the form of pumpkins and jack o’lanterns. But us Longhorns rep the color all year long! Whether it’s to class, to Gregory or to bed – we’re always showing our school pride.

But there’s one special place where we all congregate in our burnt orange gear and game faces, filled with UT pride: Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Chanting “Texas! Fight!” in the stands connects all Longhorn fans with their beloved school in a way unlike any other.

That’s why we’ve put together our top five tips for getting prepared for game-day. We want to make sure you collegiettes™ have the best football experience possible! So give them a try – and hook ’em Horns!
