Also staying at Sheraton in downtown Ft. Worth. There's a $10 shuttle to game in easy walking distance, so I guess that's better than paying to park unless you've got 5 or 6 in a car.

K-State's planning has been pretty meh. Aside from the pep ralley on Thursday, all they really seem to give a crap about is selling $1000 "alumni travel packages." Instead of announcing an "official" spot for the rest of us, like Sundance Square, Cat fans are just going word of mouth and are spread all over the DFTW metro. Also should have arranged for a free shuttle to the game from said official spot.

Downtown Ft. Worth simply due to the bus offered from there to the game for 10 bucks a person to avoid having to to the game.

Seems like quite a few walkable bars that might be able to avoid kstateo if desired.

I'm staying where ever mrs. kcpowercat got us cheap rooms.

Official roll call time. Who's going and what are your plans?

Guy's weekend for me. Meeting a couple buddies from Houston and LA.

I get in at around noon on Friday and plan on being fairly pak'd by the time my plane lands.

We'll play it by ear on Friday but probably get to the stadium fairly early to crash some tailgates.

Probably start looking for tickets from scalpers about 30 minutes prior to kickoff.

Go wherever the night takes us after the game.

We're staying Saturday night too, so we'll sleep in and find some grub in Dallas on Saturday when we roll out of bed and find a place to catch the round-ball Q@s.

Then we'll hit some elite clubs in downtown Dallas on Saturday.

Arrive home on Sunday evening to a wife and screeming kids who will undoubtedly make me pay for the 2 day bender.

Recommendations welcome. tia

If you're going, give your mizzou tickets to a goEMAW'r.

Going with Dad and little bro. Leaving KC at 8am tomorrow. Frankie's is having a KSU watch party for the game. I know that means Creepy Fitz will be there, but lots of purple too. Isn't there another bar or two doing a watch party as well?

Myself and a bunch of EMAWs on this board are going to watch the game at the Dallas watch party in Uptown at Christie's Bar.

Good to know. May lean towards heading back to uptown postgame. Would rather avoid Ft. Worth if we can find enough EMAW to pak with in Dallas.

Know what I'm gonna do? Get up in the morning and mess around, then go to the filling station for a bottle of pop, then over to the X Ms. Stone for a little T.V., then over to the Cotton Bowl to watch the game. Yep, that's what I'm gonna do alright. Hop out of the sack, mess around then down to the filling station for a bottle of pop, then slide over to the X Ms. Stone for some TV then it's off to the Cotton Bowl to watch the game. Yes sir e bub, that's the plan alright. Wake up, mess around some the saunter down to the old filling station for a bottle of pop, then high tail it over to the X Ms. Stone's to watch TV then I'm off to the old Cotton Bowl.
