Dallas area Texans fans (Gameday Hangout thread) - Page 9 - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

OzzO · 08-13-2011

The one time where we had the "traveling circus" worked good to accomodate the fans all over the metroplex, but did require a little planning to pull it off. Otherwise, it's gonna have to be a somewhat central location to get all to come out and also have a variety of food groups (other than chicken wings) or you'll get burned out on the food halfway through the season.

It'd be ultimate to develop a home base to build the fan base in DFW. Other team's fans have done so (it seems from visiting various places) there just needs to be a search mission put in place.

I'm back in Houston - good luck in finding the perfect spot.... it is much better to see with a group than by one self at home (you don't have to spend much at the sports bar). My kid still asks if we're gonna get together with a group here like we did in Dallas. ;-)

Does anyone have a home we could use? Tailgate @ the casa Texan. Of course this would mean you have DirectTV or the game is actually played on the tube.

My family is trying to run me out of the house on Sundays

Texaninlild · 09-08-2011

Did we ever figure anything out?

rush2112mn · 09-08-2011

I think it would be fun if a bunch of us Texan fans from Houston invaded a Dallas Sports bar for one of our away games.....and took it over on a Sunday....now that would be funny....

CretorFrigg · 09-09-2011

I just moved to Fort Worth last month, so I'm still trying to find a place where I can watch Texans games.

Texaninlild · 09-09-2011

Here is the list of folks I gathered from the thread and their relative locations. I also grabbed a list OzzO created on a previous thread. Correct any misinformation. I think something near The Highlands would be good, but a stretch for the Northies.

South
Texaninlild - Mansfield
ArlingtonTexan - Arlington
Texan JBZ - South DFW
Big Pouncake - Arlington

West
CretorFrigg - Ft Worth
grinch1134 - Ft Worth
Hoth-Boy - Keller

North
NTTexan - Richarson
Texans34Life - Frisco/McKinney/The Colony
thunderwolf - Denton
rvguy121 - Richardson
wagonhed - Denton

Central
The Pencil Neck - Flower Mound
Big Tex 13 - Carrolton

cj5776 - ?

From OzzO:
Locations in DFW-

Twin Peaks - Arlington
Bone Daddy's - Dallas though I can't tell if they have the games there.
Wizard's Sports cafe - Richardson - 2nd WIN Det home game, good size and pool tables
Buffalo Wild Wings - Irving, Addison, Lewisville - Indy home game in Irving, good place.

... the search continues. Let me know if any (or all) of those meet your fancy. And where the heck is A-Tx?

Found a few more alternatives listed in the '07 DFW watch party thread.

Big Johnson's beer garden - Dallas
Buffalo Joes - Dallas - Browns game - WIN, good "strip center" sports bar
TNT Sports Page - Addison though this seems to be Viking fans homebase
Frankie's Bar - uptown Dallas - 3rd WIN in a row! Cincinnati home game - better than MAT, packed with 'boy fans
Varsity Club - Plano

some more...
Bailey's 1st & 10 - Highland Park
Industry Bar - Richardson
McKinney Ave Tavern - uptown Dallas - Pit game, good place, but you'd think more than one waitress for Sundays
Ten Sports Grill - downtown dallas - Jag away game - good place, but all the smoking Saint fans go there
Wild Turkey- Dallas

Others suggested / found.....
Cafe Gecko - Addison
Ker's Wing House - Dallas Miami home game - 1st WIN (good juju)
Texan Station - Grapevine
Flips Grill - Grapevine - Titan away game, good food and service. 2nd visit - Min away
Bobby V - Arlington
No Frills - Arlington

OzzO · 09-09-2011

go, Tx in lild, GO!

I would not be opposed to a place near or in the Highlands...

I have been to Pluckers and while they have the game, they pre-select the screens for the games so we may or may not get a good one. Not sure whatelse is sports barish versus a bar with tv sets around there though.

Bobby V is just a couple of exits away as an option.

Edit: For those South or don't care about driving, I go to No Frills in Mansfiled for the game and as my neighborhood bar. It is already a heavy Cowboys/Saints bar, but friendly enough where a few more Texans fans would fit right in. That's my plan most weeks unless we can agree trying on take over somewhere in the area.

Texaninlild · 09-10-2011

Which No Frills do you go to? I might end up there as well if we do not work out a spot.

grinch1134 · 09-10-2011

I can hang with the south boys as my house is very near 820 and 20. This week I'm probably out, but I will try to make it to no frills if I can. Sucks that they decided to skip the opener on NBC after they found out about the foreheads status.

GuerillaBlack · 09-10-2011

I'm in Arlington, too. Was disappointed when CBS switched to Pitt/Balt, but I knew it was going to happen. Always seem to switch out of the Texans game midweek. And the Highlands sounds like a good idea. I live just a few exits west of there.

Matlock and Debbie Lane...Mansfield.

**Texans34Life** · 09-10-2011

Alright, I guess I'll hang with the North and Central crew, if you guys are up for it.

North
NTTexan - Richarson
Texans34Life - Frisco/McKinney/The Colony
thunderwolf - Denton
rvguy121 - Richardson
wagonhed - Denton

Central
The Pencil Neck - Flower Mound
Big Tex 13 - Carrolton

Have you guys heard of any good spots in our vicinity?

I plan on trying to make it to No Frills tomorrow after church.

**Texans34Life** · 09-10-2011

Also, for you guys who have DIRECTV, if you're staying at home, Sunday Ticket is free this week. So for disappointment of the PIT/BAL switch, we can still catch the game!

CretorFrigg · 09-11-2011

So...was Sunday Ticket messing up for anyone during the first half?

**Texans34Life** · 09-12-2011

No, not for me and I was at home.
