We just booked a room in SATX.  Gonna drive down from Dallas area that morning and back the next day probably.

My assumption is that ticket prices will plummet closer to gametime.

i wouldn't call it an invasion. When i get an email and phone call saying there are still "plenty of great seats" left in the K-State allotment there probably won't be a crazy amount of purple down there.

We'll have a good crowd... always do. Everybody said we'd have a crap crowd in Tempe last year, but the place was full of purple.  Plus, there's a crap-ton of K-State alums that live in Texas so its an easy trip.

I think a lot of K-State people are like me and have figured out that you can get far better seats at better prices on the secondary market as well.  Looks like the Alamo allots a hell of a lot more seats for each team than other bowls do also.

So if I'm looking at lower level between the 40s it really doesn't matter which side?

Based on where they're selling the K-State allotment, I'd think you'd want to be on the "Big 12 Side" which would be sections 132-136

Basically, San Antonio is the "riverwalk".  There's loads of bars/restaurants up and down the river. Good food, pricey drinks and great people watching. Here's what comes to mind first:

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia-cdn.tripadvisor.com%2Fmedia%2Fphoto-s%2F01%2F71%2Ff3%2Fe1%2Fsan-antonio-visitor-bureau.jpg&hash=10ca26810091c62f2e6cc115ad6275daf7144d78)

The boat tour is cool... And, that mexican restaurant with the umbrellas is amazingly good: http://www.casa-rio.com/

this thing is pretty popular.

If ya like golf, La Cantera is a really nice place to play that allows public access.

There are better tickets for less$$ on the UCLA side... I'm really not worried about sitting around UCLA alums... They probably smell pretty good.  Thoughts?

Since UT isn't playing in this game, all the local t-shirt longhorn fans won't sell this game out.  It will be just like every other exhibition bowl game and ticket prices will plummet between Christmas day and kick-off. 

Be patient, grasshopper.

Very few people get to catch a stabbing happen in person. You should feel honored.

Go to the Esquire on the River Walk.

Prices are plummeting...  Upper level endzone seats for $25 in KSU section now.

http://www.stubhub.com/alamo-bowl-tickets/alamo-bowl-san-antonio-alamodome-1-2-2015-9046309/

Plenty of good seats below face value in the lower sections too for those who are :kstategrad:
