Training

Alcohol management and responsible service training at Q2 Stadium is conducted in partnership with TEAM Coalition to certify staff in promoting safe consumption and intervening with impaired or underage guests.

Responsibility

Q2 Stadium participates in a Designated Driver Program available via the Austin FC & Q2 Stadium App. Fans who pledge to be a designated driver (no alcohol consumption, provide safe transport home, ensure seatbelts) can register digitally and redeem vouchers for complimentary non-alcoholic beverages at locations like Flight, El Mercado (South end Main Concourse), or the ATXFC Shop (300 Level West). This supports responsible fan behavior and safe rides home.
