thebug Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 First of all, thanks to all those who gave me advice on a trip to San Diego. Was a great trip and got some good tips from you folks! My brother in law is a huge Cowboys fan, so we are going to the Oct 1st game against the Rams. Never been to Dallas, so any advice would be appreciated! Hotels, food, tailgating? any tips you have. Probably going to buy some decent seats on Stubhub, but open to other suggestions for sure! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) Bring lots of money! BTW, tailgating is weird, at least in the Cowboy lots. If you want to grill, have to be there early to claim on of the spots on the outside ring of the lot so grill can go on grass...can not grill in any of the interior spaces. When we went to the Bills game there a few years back was not to big a worry as a noon start, and not as big of a tailgate crowd. But our host said 3 PM games tailgating is much bigger deal.

Yeah it's a noon kick-off so we will likely just get into the stadium early and tour around in there...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do a great job pregame once in the stadium. Cheerleaders doing dance numbers and bands playing on stages around the interior of the gates, store is cool, just walking around is cool. Can see getting in at 10:30 and not being bored for one second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebug Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 As long as you go to church first. We will probably start on the beers pretty early. Are beers allowed in church in Dallas? Sorry for the questions, but I've never been to Dallas (or church for that matter.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocemur Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Rick's Chophouse in Mckinney has some great steaks. You're in Texas, get a good steak and some good Mexican food. Just remember if you or your friends like to get rowdy, roughly every third person you see is concealed carrying a gun, so be polite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
