Bryan-College Station

The 2025 Summer Games of Texas will officially commence on Thursday, July 31, and will run through August 3 in Bryan and College Station. Hosted by the Texas Amateur Athletic Federation (TAAF), the event is expected to attract thousands of amateur athletes and spectators from across the state.

More than 8,000 youth and adult athletes are anticipated to participate in a diverse array of sports, which will include swimming, track and field, boxing, tennis, esports, and ultimate frisbee among over a dozen competitions. This year’s Games mark the 39th anniversary of the event in Texas, showcasing the long-standing tradition of promoting amateur athletics in the region.

The community is invited to the opening ceremonies, taking place at the Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater on Friday, August 1. The event is set to begin at 6 p.m. with gates opening to attendees, followed by a parade of athletes at 7:20 p.m. and a fireworks display scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Food vendors are expected to be present at the opening ceremony. Residents in nearby neighborhoods should prepare for potential noise related to the fireworks, expected to conclude by 8:45 p.m.

Parking and Accessibility

Free parking will be available at Post Oak Mall, specifically on the JCPenney side. There are designated handicap parking spaces at the Wolf Pen Creek parking lot and along Colgate Drive. Attendees are also advised that overnight parking and RVs will not be permitted at the event location.

Competition Locations

Events will be held across various venues in the Brazos Valley, ensuring accessibility for attendees. Key locations include:

E.B. Cushing Stadium at Texas A&M – Track and Field
Bryan Aquatic Center – Swimming
The City Course at Phillips Event Center – Golf
George P. Mitchell Tennis Center at Texas A&M – Tennis
Legends Event Center – Esports and Pickleball
Hilton College Station Hotel & Conference Center – Boxing

Admission Details

Admission costs vary by event, with track and field events priced at $10 per day or $35 for an all-session pass, while swimming events cost $7 per session or $35 for access to all six sessions. All other competitions are free to attend, continuing the spirit of accessibility in amateur sports.

At E.B. Cushing Stadium, a clear bag policy will be enforced for attendees, restricting prohibited items such as umbrellas, tents, and outside food and drinks. Community facilities will also experience temporary closures during the Games, with the College Station Parks and Recreation office and multiple community centers closing from July 31 through August 3. Additionally, the Bryan Aquatic Center and other facilities will be closed from July 28 through August 6.

Traffic and Travel Considerations

As the event draws closer, organizers anticipate traffic delays near the venues, particularly around Texas A&M’s E.B. Cushing Stadium, Bryan Aquatic Center, and Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater. It is encouraged that visitors arrive early and consider carpooling to mitigate congestion.

The previous Summer Games in 2019 were particularly noteworthy, drawing over 20,000 participants and generating an estimated $8.1 million in local economic activity, further highlighting the significance of this event. The successful hosting of the Games requires extensive coordination between the cities of Bryan and College Station, along with Texas A&M University.

The location of the Brazos Valley is notable, as approximately 85% of Texas’ population is within a three-hour drive, making it an ideal area for large events like the Summer Games of Texas.
