Going to Dallas

SiGFan37 : 9/12/2018 1:03 pm
Have a group of 8 heading down from NY for the weekend for the game. First time for all of us so any suggestions on bars/food/things to do?

Also interesting in joining a tailgate if any of the BBI contingent will be down there.
Went to the game there last year

Maybe you guys will have strength in numbers. Because the "fans" there will taunt you from the second they see you on premises. It really got old, fast. The fact the Giants got blasted that night didn't help matters, either.
I am heading to Dallas for the game as well

I am meeting my two sons and a friend. we are staying at the Dallas Omni on South Lamar Street. There is a great sports bar we went to last year in the Omni- The Owner's Box. we had a blast there last year and will be there for Saturday night's college games and early games on Sunday.

There is a Giant tailgate in the rear of the Silver Parking Lot 13, up against the grass. Bring your own beer, and food is plentiful. It starts at 2:30 PM. below is the link:

I highly suggest both places. It should be a fun weekend.

I was at the debacle in 2015 and the fans for the most part were pretty easy going I thought. It was bad when the giants blew it at the end however which is to be expected after a win like that.

See you there. Shoot me an email Saturday when you at the Owner's Box- jjbjr922@aol.com.
Was there in 2011...

when JPP blocked the field goal. It was an amazing game that I will never forget.

Not the sure if they still do this but the Saturday before the game you pay $20 and have full access to the stadium including the field, locker room etc. I took my 12 year old nephew there and he was literally kicking field goals and catching TD's in the end zone. It was a blast!

Unless its changed dramatically since then the tailgate scene there is just ok. Nothing like what we have in NJ. The stadium is the real star and has many restaurants that you can check out before and after the game.

Have fun!

Check out DeepEllum and Uptown areas. For Texas BBQ go to Pecan Lodge but get there early for lunch. Could be long lines.
Went in 2011 and 2016

The guys in the BigBlue DFW crew that put together the Silver 13 tailgate do a great, great job. Best Giants tailgate crew I've ever seen on the road.

I've found the Cowboys fans to be pretty tame, especially the ones actually from Texas. A jerk here or there but lots of friendly people. Have a blast!

I've heard that actually Cowboy fans in Dallas

Are pretty cool.

For those who have gone, I'm curious what year and how was the turnout of Giants fans?
How did it compare to when the Cowboys are in New York?
Thanks.
