    I bought them from the group I will be tailgating with, as soon as I find out I'll let you know. They are lower bowl close to field for 113 each. Face value.

    Direct from the team site (Ticketmaster) is always "best" from cost standpoint and they are on sale now. Nosebleed section seats are going in the mid-$30 (plus "fees") area IIRC.

    Thanks, though I am not absolutely ready to commit to going. It is my plan, and I am 90% there....just have to nail some stuff down. But thanks for the info.

    Small world... same section as my in-laws.

    Montrose is prefect for you guys. Nice hotels and prices are good.

    Area you used to "work"?

  • See the invitation that I plan to send out that I posted in The Barber Shop regarding my plans for the trip this fall to Houston. This trip, for me, would kill 3 birds with one stone: 1. I always take a Fall trip anyway...as you all can see. 2. It gives me a chance to see my daughter who lives in Texas...as she would be coming over for the game 3. then there is the game, and the camaraderie that goes with it with you all.

  • anyone looking for tickets should check with the Space City Dawg Pound Browns Backers. They posted on Facebook that they have acquired a good size block of game tickets.

    Maybe the Buckeyes-Cornhusker game will be that night too. Should be a great time in Houston.

  • I have made tentative hotel reservations...but not at the Holiday Inn....at the Hampton up the street. (with my special rates...of 57 bucks a night plus tax)

  • fuck Houston, who's going to London??

    Was not in the cards for me....financially or politically (meaning that there was no way that my wife would let me go without her...and she can't make it). I am combining the Houston game trip with my regular fall trip that I take, where I stay in either my timeshare or in cheap hotels. (see the thread in the Barber Shop). This time, it is cheap hotels...nothing over $75 a night. Plus I will be driving. Long trip, sure, but should all be good.

    But I hope you and a bunch of us go to London and that you have a great time.

    I won't go back to Europe until they get their immigration/terrorism shit in order. Lookin for someone to take gifts to our London base for me so I don't have to pay 20lbs to ship a flippin 1lb item.

    Btw road trip to TX is cool until you hit the border. armadillos and tumbleweed.

    I have never seen an Armadillo in Texas to be honest....or tumbleweed. I did a crunch number on an Armadillo once with my car in Mississippi...and saw them in Alabama, but not Texas. Tumbleweed? Yes....but much further out west. Eastern Texas around Houston is more like Louisiana....swampy.

    I used to live in Houston and spent 12 weeks there a couple of years ago.

    I have recommendations. No joke this time.

    1.There is a downtown like Mardi Gras street with lots of bar and restaurants. I was foot traffic only and they had a light rail thing passing through there..

    2.The battleship Texas has tours. You can go all through the ship.

    3. There is this cafeteria style restaurant called "Clayburns" its all great American food hot and ready to serve. The Greek owner will get you for about $20 a person cash only. North central part of town. I had to stop there before leaving town.

    4 The Lankford Store has really good home made breakfast. They are towards down town.

    While I did not do the tour of the Battleship Texas, I was right there at it, at the Battle of San Jacinto Park, where they have a monument that somewhat resembles the Washington Monument. Of course, deliberately, the goobers in Texas had to make sure that their monument was taller....so it is 15-20 feet taller than the Washington Monument. Its a cool place though...the museum at the bottom telling the history of Texas...and its revolution against Mexico. In my travels I have only skirted around Houston....once, as I said going out to that San Jacinto monument. Another time going to the east through the Anhuac Wildlife Refuge, then spending a couple of nights in Galveston. This would be the first time I will have stopped in and seen things in Houston proper.

    In fact, it may be the last "major league city" in America...and Canada...where I will have done that. For every other one I have spent some time touring their downtowns and sights. With Houston, I have only gone by the downtown on the freeway to the north.

    Eastern Colarado and West Kansas has Tumbleweeds galore. They look square actually. They have fences up so they dont get in the road.

    Yes... I know this as I was just out there in April! Went from KC, all the way across Kansas to Bent's Old Fort in Colo. and back again.

    70 West?

    I dont believe that this country will ever run out of vacant land.

    I was on more backroads....only did a little bit of I-70. I was kind of following the Santa Fe Trail, from Olathe, to Lawrence, to Council Grove, to El Dorado, to McPherson, Great Bend, Ft. Larned, then on to Dodge City. Mainly along US 56. After I got the hell out of Dodge (like saying that when it was literally true), then head west to Colorado. Coming back east I followed US 40 some, then up to US 24 and 36. Went up into Nebraska a bit, then back down to Manhattan KS, and Topeka. Then I headed down to Ft. Scott, before coming back to KCMo. The only parts of I-70 I was on was between Lawrence and Manhattan.
