Austin tailgates and advice

Bucks, good luck this weekend, no injuries!

I thought i'd drop a line for visitors next weekend.

1. Austin is smoke free, so find a bar with a outside terrace if u smoke.
2. If your sneaking booze into the game, best to walk in 10-15 minutes before game begins with the crowd. Purses will be checked and you may be patted down, but if you walk in with the masses, booze on back, your probably ok.
3. Around halftime, you'll see many UT fans leaving the stadium. Alumni Center is across the street on the west side of the stadium. A halftime beer, cocktail, margarita is a must. Also, this is a good spot to meet before the game. Many TV's with the games on throughout the place.
4. Stubbs is located on red river near many very weird bars. best to walk 2 blocks to 6th street where they are only weird bars.Toosheas Bar on 6th has a "flaming dr pepper" shot thats a must
5. Tailgating is a cluster f*ck, with people tailgating all around the stadium, in parking garages and between buildings. For visitors, i recommend south of stadium and a visit to Scholtz's bar( san jacinto &17th). Its owned or was owned by Steve McMichael of Bears, very cool bar where lots of media/radio will be. There are a few parking lots around san jacinto &18th to Texas History Museum (just south of mlk) that are good tailgating spots.
6. While there are many places for partying, 6th street between i-35 and east of congress will be happening from thursday afternoon til sunday 2am. There are some more laid back bars on 6th street 1/2 mile west of congress. 4th and 5th street west of congress is called the warehouse district, a bit older crowd and less weirdos.
7. Frank Erwin Center, Buckeye pre-game, is known as " The Drum ". It's on MLK and i-35, looks like a drum, easy to find. Due west of the Drum is good taigating areas and Scholtz's.
8. Best to call Roy's Taxi 512-482-0000 or yellow cab 512-452-9999 if boozing. Austin has many one ways and short ramps where u can get in trouble if unfamiliar and boozing.
9. Try Shiner Bock, Lonestar, and all Mexican Beers. All good if you are unfamiliar
10. People are diverse, 1/3 will not know a football game is going on. You'll see some a-holes, but most will just be welcoming and will want everyone to have a good time.

Hope some of this helps.

See Yall soon,

Horn92

I thought the proper send off was

Do I need to get a new Texan to English dictionary?

Thanks for the info.

Very different from Ohio Stadium where you're not allowed to leave and re-enter. I don't know if something like that would catch on at OSU because most like to watch the band at halftime, but it does sound like a fun thing to do at the half. Good luck to you guys against North Texas, not that you'll need it.

Awesome, thanks for the info! I'll definitely be at Stubbs on gameday and at St. Jo-...I mean Frank Erwin Center for the Skull Session. This will be a kickass weekend, regardless of if we win or lose. Shiner Bock is also very tasty beverage.

well you will hear it both ways but I belive that, "See Yall soon" is the most common. Texan is a complicated language

That's too bad. Script Ohio will be performed at halftime. At least the Buckeyes in attendance will enjoy it.

I picked up some Shiner from the gas station here in Cbus. I don't see what the attraction is.

While in the Air Force, I spent a lot of time in San Antonio, Wichita Falls, and Dallas. Gotta be honest, I just loved Texas and most peole I met there.

I don't want to offend anybody with what may sound like a sales pitch. Moderators please take this down if I'm out of line, but my brother and I are originally from Ohio and we have a nice little Italian restaurant and bar just a couple blocks off I-35 in Temple, which is about 65 miles north of Austin. We have a bunch of Ohio friends coming in for the big weekend with a party planned for Friday night. So if you are looking for somewhere "Buckeye-friendly" to stop please (start EDIT) send me a PM so I can refer you to our website (end EDIT). But don't try to find us here on the 9th. We'll be in Austin. BTW- the original post has excellent info, most of which I can confirm and some new to me that will be very useful. Thanks!
