Two women's college basketball games land at Ariat Arena on Sunday, November 22, 2026. The day runs on one door time, one ticket channel and one parking decision.
The clock both pages publish
Doors open at 11 a.m. The first game tips at 12 p.m. CT and the second at 2:30 p.m. CT. Both air on ESPN networks.
The pairings disagree between two official pages. The arena event page lists TCU against Utah State at 12 p.m. on ESPN and Texas against Ohio State at 2:30 p.m. on ESPN2. The series site at theLS2.com lists Ohio State against Texas at 12 p.m. on ESPN and Utah State against TCU at 2:30 p.m. on ESPN2. The door time and both start times agree across the two. Confirm which pairing opens the day before you choose a session.
One night, twenty-seven days out
November 22 falls on a Sunday. A team travelling in books Saturday, November 21 and checks out Sunday morning. From October 26 the game sits 27 days out.

The garage sets the arrival hour
The Chevrolet Parking Garage holds 2,200 spaces at 3464 Trail Drive and takes traffic from Montgomery Street. The Yellow Lots open for every arena event and fill from Trail Drive. Parking costs depend on the event, and every lot takes cash or card.
From I-30 West the route runs onto Chisholm Trail Parkway and off at University Street, which carries no toll. Turn right on University, then left at Trail Drive for the Yellow Lots.
Lots open three and a half hours before the noon tip, at 8:30 a.m. The arena page calls the parking supply ample for all guests, so an 8:30 arrival leaves two and a half hours before the doors.
Rideshare drop-off is the west entrance in the drop-off lane at Secretariat Drive. Pickup runs on Harley Avenue at the north end, reached by stairs or ramp from the north exit.
No block, no rate, no cut-off
No page in this chain publishes a block size, a nightly rate or a reservation deadline. The arena event page carries the doors, the two start times, the ticket channel and the group line. The directions page carries parking and the routes. theLS2.com carries the season schedule. A room request has to come from the buyer.
Group seats and the December date
Single seats sell through Ticketmaster. The event page prints group tickets for 10 or more through groupsales@dickiesarena.com or 817.402.9100. The arena group page lists discounts for 9 or more and gives groupsales@ariatarena.com and 817.904.9100.
The series returns on Sunday, December 6 with Texas against TCU at 12 p.m. CT on ESPN2. A fan who wants both Sundays can place one room request that covers the two nights.
How to place the request
One hotelhuddle request reaches 50+ Fort Worth hotels. Submitting costs nothing, the hotel pays the commission, and the quoted rate carries no markup. Responses arrive within 24 to 72 hours. Group rates apply at 10 or more rooms per night, and some properties quote from 5.
Texas adds 6 percent state hotel occupancy tax. Cities, certain counties and special purpose districts add a local hotel tax, and the state tax code names Chapter 334 sports and community venue districts among the authorities that levy one. Ask each property for the all-in figure.
Three items belong in the request. The Saturday night rate with the checkout hour in writing. The room type that holds four. The drive to the Chevrolet garage on a game Sunday.
