Let them race down Hausman all they want. They can widen Hausman. They can't widen UTSA Drive, unless they plan on ripping out people's driveways. I know the subdivision is suburban sprawl, and far be it for me to be a NIMBY, but there's plenty of other access to the property, and the UTSA car culture has been coddled long enough. Let them walk to the games through College Park. The idiot kids living in Las Colinas and the Oaks and all the other complexes are still driving to school for crying out loud. Non-students coming to games will have access from 1604 regardless, so it shouldn't be an issue.
My main concern was that the current design isn't pedestrian friendly. If they at least extend the sidewalks from UTSA Blvd. to the new athletics park it would only be a 1/2 mile walk from campus. Students aren't going to walk all the way to Hausman and it would be dangerous to walk 1604 access roads.
