A few thoughts on my Cotton Bowl trip

Stayed downtown, walked to see the 6th Floor museum. Amazing to see a place where events happened that changed the world. Had a fabulous dinner at Del Frisco. Met some great Tiger fans tailgating in Lot 14. Was completely impressed with the Jerry Dome and the staff there. Didn't encounter a single rude employee. Made it on the jumbotron a couple of times. Was incredibly proud of the guy in the crown and purple tunic, very noble looking!
Overall, I'd do it all again.

The aggies were very full of themselves. You would have sworn they were the team that won two national championships in the last decade.

That was pretty damn funny!

quote:Apparently we went to different stadium. It was an absolute disorganized mob getting in the stadium, mainly due to poor planning on the facilities management. It took 45 minutes to get in the stadium, and the crowd got fairly ugly at times as people tried to cut in line. None of the employees were rude, they just didn't know anything, and they lent to the situation in which disorganization and chaos reigned.

Stadium was impressive, but not anymore than Reliant Stadium in Houston except for the huge hd screen. Very good waitress talent in C333 and Jerry robs us on the mixed drinks!

Best bowl game trip ever!

Stayed at the Hilton Gardens DFW-decent place
Humperdink's was overloaded. Fair to say the assistant managers and cooks were serving food and even bussing the tables.
Weather was decent. Wait until Monday and Tuesday for some rough stuff.
Stadium was first class.
Employees there were helpful and courteous.
Parking lots were very clean.
Impressed with Spencer Ware.
Found a great little restaurant for breakfast in Corsicana on the way back.
Renewed enthusiasm for the 2011 Tiger Football Team.
All of the crew arrived home safely.

The stadium is certainly a wonder. The seats in 243 seemed very far from the field. Wouldn't want to sit in anything in the 400's for sure. Agree about the stadium staff. All were very helpul and courteous. Lines at the concession stands moved quickly with a good selection. Can't say that about the lines in the restrooms. This was the only time I've ever seen men's restroom lines out the doors while the women didn't appear to be backed up.
Didn't enocounter any rude or unruly Aggie fans. I prefer the Georgia Dome over Cowboy Stadium. But it was still a fantastic trip and fine way to wrap up the season.
