    First Trip to Reliant (Sept 29th)

    Club Level? 50 yard line? I hope you like sitting around a bunch of empty seats. Most Club Level types can't be bothered with silly details like actually sitting in their reserved seat and watching a live football game. bpe3

    Houston vs Chargers at home next year!

    Of course as soon as I say they tarp over the first 8-10 rows for football games, I find this photo showing a chargers game with no tarps. Maybe they just tarp over them for the Holiday Bowl, which I've been to 5 or more times. I'll agree that the first 10 rows of the Field Level should...

    Houston vs Chargers at home next year!

    Ummmmm. No. I have been in this stadium many times. Other than the first 8-10 rows of the Field Level yard line seats that are tarpped over anyway for football events, the seating plan is fine. There is no way that an end zone seat is preferable to yard line seat. bpe3

    Share your road trip experiences....

    I probably should have taken a lot more pictures along the way, but here's a few.. Games I've been to: @ Miami in 2003 ---- #80's first game. Texans win on pass to #80. South Beach party time. Also hit Florida @ Miami game at the Orange Bowl the day before. Stadium parking is a mess...

    Generators

    First, you don't need a generator. Don't waste your money. Buy a deep cycle marine battery and an inverter. Plenty of juice to power a tailgate all day. Need more power? Buy another battery. If you absolutely MUST buy a generator, which is silly since you don't really need one and it's a...

    What Time Is It?

    It mostly depends on your definition of "good". Do you want to be close to the stadium? Do you want to be close to the exit so you can get out pronto? Do you want to be close to Shotgun30? If you arrive before 9:00 AM, the staff lets you park wherever you like. After that, they tell you where...

    Best place to watch Miami game in downtown area

    Go to Reliant. Just show up. You can find a cheap ticket on the street if your budget is tight. Gotta be in the stadium. TV sucks. You'll spend more at a sports bar than you will going to the game. bpe3

    Important game day information

    Don't expect Miller Lite to step up. In fact, they are stepping down. I haven't been inside the stadium in a while, but from what I've been told, all the old Miller Lite ads that used to be there are now Coors Light ads. Decision was made by MillerCoors marketing peeps. bpe3

    Got Tix for the 18th for my B-day... I have ?'s

    Wait. Scratch that. Just realized 49ers is Saturday game, not Thursday. Saturday preseason tailgating will be pretty decent. Game will still be pretty lame though. bpe3

    Got Tix for the 18th for my B-day... I have ?'s

    Basically, it will be pretty lame. Yes, the tailgaters will be there, but in FAR fewer numbers. Only the hardcore. The rest can't or won't take off work early on a Thursday for a preseason game. Silver Lining: good time to mingle with the hardcore tailgaters, including the folks who actually...

    Looking For a New Tailgate to Call Home? Real Steel Tailgaters!

    Sounds like you're on the right track there. Good luck with your fund raising. I'm always on the Yellow Lot grass on game day. I'm sure I'll see you out there. I'm well aware of the cost involved in organizing a decent tailgate party. It's not cheap. I (with the help of many friends) have...

    Question: Best TV type for tailgating?

    I don't know what kind of service you use, but AT&T can barely get a phone call through to my iPhone once the crowd starts filling up the parking lots. My incoming calls often go straight to voice mail. I usually drop my phone down from 3G to Edge network when I'm at the game. Phone calls go...

    Looking For a New Tailgate to Call Home? Real Steel Tailgaters!

    That is one sweet rig. Your website says you're selling party passed for $120. I hate to break it to you, but if your pregame party requires an invitation or a ticket or a wrist band or a donation or anything else for entry, then you are not actually tailgating. You're just throwing a private...

    Tracking Texans ticket prices

    Y'all are missing a key point here. Most of the Texans tickets are covered by a PSL. The Texans know how much these PSL's trade for on the secondary market. PSL's have value, at least for now. Very few people are going to walk away from their PSL just because the cost of tickets rises. Until...

    Tennessee Road Trip

    I decided to go to the game at 8:15 PM on Saturday. Went home, threw some clothes in the car and was on the road by 9:00 PM. Filled a cooler with an 18-pack of beer and ice somewhere on Highway 59. Picked up a friend in Longview at 1:00 AM. Drove straight to the stadium. Arrived at 10:30 AM...
