I don't follow the Aggie boards, but if they could only get 76,000 for a top 20 OSU game, this one may be much, much worse. Especially if trick or treating is held that night with a 2:30 kickoff.
Drive to Texas Am
- Thread starter ajk4st8
- Start date
Plenty of tailgating around the stadium and most Aggies will offer you a drink.
I was mainly referening the parking options, not tailgating locations.
My adviser has given me his 4 tickets.:biggrin: The K-State game has really seemed to take the wind out their sails (and sales).
The man speaks the truth. **** Kansas and their $8 tolls. Makes it easier going through KC, as well. Go 71 to Joplin, down 69 through Muskogee (good place to spend a night, BTW - 8 hours from Ames and about 7 to CS.) Either I45 towards Houston or I35 to Waco will work.
The guys on TexAgs told me to park and wander. They were the ones that suggested the $22 ramp across from the field. We'll be there pretty damn early. If that fails, I've got a good read on where the public parking lots are. If worse comes to worse, we'll just check into our hotel (Aggieland Knight's Inn) which looks like it's NE Corner of campus, and just walk.
bumping this for everyone going down this weekend.
For those driving: are you going straight through, or staying somewhere? We're leaving WDM at 5:30 Thursday night, and hoping to be in Dallas ahead of friday morning rush hour. We're relying on youth and caffeine to get through the night. Safe travles everyone!

Cyaggie, my brother, and I are flying down via omaha early, early saturday morning, and meeting my former aggie brother (now in grad sch. at purdue), flying in from chicago, in houston.
Cannot wait to see this game. Those of you driving... good luck, ive done the CS drive and the Austin drive in the past few years. Hope to see some of yall down there.
Current forecast for Saturday: Mostly Sunny, high near 77.
Go Cyclones!

We just got home from NE a little bit ago and I started to plant the seed about going down next weekend with the wife. I've even thrown out that the little guy(5) could wear his costume and I will pass out candy to everyone around us and he could trick or treat in the stands...
Flights from Cedar Rapids to Houston leaving Friday and returning Monday are $88 each way...
Just thought I would throw that out there if anyone is interested... Is there a better option to fly into somewhere else I should check???

Leaving Sometime Thursday evening, probably later than 5:30. Also relying on youth and a mix between exctiment and red bull. Arriving in Houston sometime Friday. Then tailgate Saturday and watch the Cyclones beat A&M in front of apparent small crowd, havent discussed the shortcut or tackling I-35 for all she is worth...
care to elaborate on this? is this to Hobby or Bush?
Is there anything like this going out of Omaha or Sioux City?

:no:
I know that, as college students on a road trip, you may have been looking for the best bargain on your accommodations, but I would recommend avoiding the Knight's Inn. If you have access to HAZ MAT suits, it may not be too bad. :wink:
There is a Hampton Inn and Marriott Fairfield in the same vicinity that you may want to look into.
You will find good tailgating in the lots just west of Kyle Field. As mentioned above, there is a pretty good chance you will be offered food and beverages as you wander through. However, there are also plenty of areas for you to set up and do your own thing.
