Dallas area Texans fans (Gameday Hangout thread)

[Texans34Life]

Was there Texans fans there when you were there the last time?

[grinch1134]

i'm skeptical that there is a mythical bar where Texans gather. This is my 3rd year going to games through the board and in 08 we went everywhere and never found another Texans fan. in 09 we stuck to Flip's which is fine if we want to go there.

Basically, anywhere we go we will be outnumbered 50 to 1. I've never been to the Tilted Kilt, but I just googled bars in the Grapevine area. Grapevine seems central as those that have been in the past have come from Frisco, Dallas, Denton, Mansfield and Arlington.

Anyone want to suggest a different place? I say we pick a place and hope others show up. This happens once every 4 years where are we gonna be.

Sorry guys, I'm in Austin this weekend so I won't make it.

[Texans34Life]

Hey grinch, I'm still down for meeting there if you're up for it.

[grinch1134]

sounds good see you at the tilted kilt. I'm going to be there a little early to get a decent table

[Texans34Life]

Cool, save me a spot.

[ArlingtonTexan]

I have a pile of work and busy week of persinal errands so I going to stay around home.

[Texans34Life]

Hopefully there are Texans fans there or we're going to stick out like a sore thumb.

You guys down for meeting up this year?

[Texaninlild]

Do we have a single location this year?

I live in Mansfield, so I am a Southie and if the games are televised (I have Uverse not DirectTV) I will most likely watch them from the comfort of my home. Once we have a regular group I wouldn't mind having folks at my house (when games are televised), if you don't mind slumming it in Mansfield.

I'm all for meeting up, just let me know what is decided. I'm in east Fort Worth.

See, I'm the opposite. I'm in North north Dallas. I can jump on 121 and come down to the Coppell location that we had met at before in, but just need heads up before trekking it down there.

If there are any that are up in my area, maybe we can get together at one of these watering hole establishments.

I am in south Arlington almost able to spit to Mansfield. In the past we resolved travel a couple of ways. We had the one year with the traveling sports bar circus. this was fun but takes a good deal of communication.

In two separate years we had locations. One was at the Kerrs Wing House in north dallas/almost Irving (now closed), while nice and comfortable had a limited menu. the older was Flip's in Grapevine, which was kinda the opposite where we had a better quality of food, but really was not organized in a way for the best comfort for everyone.

My guess is that there is a Texanscentric bar somewhere in DFW, just never gotten a feel where that is. I know there are plenty of Houston/SE Texans who are up here. the key to making our spot besides getting a reasonable drive for the known group is to get a solid base of people probably at least 10 for the bar to pay attention to our money even when a couple of us can't make it on any given Sunday.

I know I did BW3's in Valley Ranch and saw a few other Texans there. It was comfortable and you know what you are getting.

I'm in Flower Mound but I rarely go to these things. Had a great time at the ONE I went to with ArlingtonTexan, Hoth Boy, Ozzo, and others when we beat the Panthers a few years ago.

I prefer to hole up with my wife in the TV room to watch the games. That way, no one but her sees me cry.

I would love to watch football with my wife, but she prefers the "other" football.....which sucks ass.



That's why I wanted to get with you guys so I got other compadres next to me rooting on our team.

My wife is a real football fan. We've been watching games on Sundays since we got together 25 years ago. It was her idea that we get Sunday Ticket so we could watch all the games at home instead of going to a sportsbar.

Live in Richardson. Looking for places in Dallas area to watch Texans!

ANyone?

Although I live in Houston, my grandparents just moved to Coppell, and now all family events will be taking place there instead of Houston. I know I will be there for Week 1. I was just seeing if any meetup has been confirmed?

I don't think anything's been planned, yet.
