To accommodate more fans, the shuttle service for Pearland Oiler varsity football games is changing this year from Pearland’s First Baptist Church to Glenda Dawson High School, 4717 Bailey Road.

The change will go into effect during the first home game against Fort Bend Kempner on Friday, August 31, at 7:00 p.m.

Six school buses will begin shuttling Oiler fans to The Rig from the DHS parking lot beginning at 6:00 p.m. - running as long as needed.

At the end of the third quarter of the game, the buses will begin shuttling fans back to their vehicles. The shuttle service will continue until everyone has returned to his or her vehicle.

"The tradition of shuttling Pearland fans to football games to avoid parking delays began through a partnership between Pearland Independent School District and Pearland’s First Baptist Church. With the shuttle relocation and the Bailey/Oiler overpass completion, however, Oiler fans on the west side of Pearland can now access games more easily via shuttle," Ed Farrington, Pearland ISD assistant athletic director, said.
