It will just be me and my gf so I was also curious would this be a good tailgate to attend?


Make your own tailgate. Walk over to Main Street and barhop along the Metrorail.

La Carafe, Dean's Downtown, Little Dipper, Goro & Gun, Flying Saucer, Warren's Inn, El Big Bad are all in downtown. Midtown...Mongoose Vs Cobra , Leon's Lounge and Proof are all right next to the metro stop. And at least a dozen more within a 5 block walk.

Staying close to the stadium is a terrible idea. It's not like NOLA or BR - the stadium is pretty much in the middle of nowhere.

Stay downtown. Take the light rail. It's the best option by a billion.

Downtown Houston isn't generally hopping on the weekends, but that weekend will be quite different because of the people who are there. I think whoever has some really good specials will pack em in.

Find the $10 bucket specials, or 2 for 1 all day happy hour deals (for example) and that is where you will find the drunk cajuns.

This. Yes, it's not possible to have a "typical" tailgating experience for this game, but all of these bars are bad arse...and very convenient to get to via the rail.

My only concern is tens of thousands of people trying to do the same exact thing, all at once. Only so many trains on that line, never rode it for a Texans game or HLSR myself...

Edit: I recommend Hotel ICON. Very nice place, right on rail line, near Market Square Park and many very nice bars in DT.
