    I'm going to fly in Friday night, Sept 3rd to see the Beavs play TCU on Saturday the 4th. I'll be flying back home Sunday. If you can think of anything I should check out in the area let me know.

    There just isn't a lot of anything to do in that area. There's six flags, hurricane harbor, Rangers ballpark, and the Cowboys stadium. If you want stuff to do you'd have to drive down 30 into Dallas.

    Well I haven't booked my hotel yet so maybe I'll stay in Dallas.

    I know the team is staying at the Westin in Dallas. I don't want to stay at the same hotel though because it's a ripoff.

    Yeah. There's not much to do in Arlington. Very boring touristy city plus it's pretty much gone to since I used to live there. Hopefully Jerry's House will spruce up the city. Yeah. If you stay in Dallas stay downtown. Around American Airlines Center. The place where the Mavs lose and hang banners. .

    Arlington is a toilet. Unless you like theme parks, not that great.
    I can normally get the Westin at $54/night on priceline. Otherwise, I'd stay in Ft. Worth and do sundance square. Better night life and better atmosphere. Downtown dallas is dead on the weekends even over by AAC. If your stuck on staying in dallas, head over to mckinney ave or greenville. Good restaurants over there.

    How about the North Dallas Galleria area? The team is staying at the Westin there. I was considering the Le Meridien hotel there. Is that a good spot?

    When you fly make sure you buy 2 seats for your fat ass.

    If the team is staying by the galleria that's strange because its further away. You can stay there too but I would recommend trying to go through priceline so you don't pay too much. Just select 4 star hotel in galleria area. Other than the mall, its all mainly suburb stuff. You are close enough to drive up to Addison which has some cool restaurants and bars but if you're looking for sites, it depends what you're wanting to do.

    Yeah if you're staying by Galleria the two places to go are Addison for on Beltline Drive for the Black Finn, Trulucks, Duke's etc.

    Also go east on 635 from that Galleria area to Greenville then south until you get past Mockingbird. There's some good stuff there - Libertine Bar, Stan's Bluenote, glorias, Some pretty good pizza and beer at Greenville Ave Pizza Company.

    There's several hotels around Galleria, there's a Sheraton Ive stayed at that was pretty good.

    I'm not going to be driving around in the evening since I'll be drinking. I'm hoping there are some decent bars in the Galleria area.

    Meh. All I can say, man, is galleria aint that big of a deal. If you're looking to drink and walk around stay downtown and take the free trolley to mckinney ave. Its a lot of fun.

    I've been in Texas before. I saw the Blazers play the Spurs in the Hemisfair back in 93 or 94.

    I booked a room in the Sheraton in downtown Dallas. Hopefully that works.

    You'll be better off staying in Dallas than staying in the area of the stadium if you want to go party and afterwards.

    The only thing around the stadium is dive bars and a Hooters
