The Dallas Chapter is having a huge tailgate party for Tiger fans before the game. We had over 1,800 fans attend the one for the Oregon game two years ago. This one will be at Gilligan's Restaurant in Arlington and the ticket will include food, drinks, free parking and free shuttle service to and from the game. Go to www.lsualumnidallas.com or contact me at hilbertcliff@yahoo.com. for more info. We also have a limited number of game tickets available.

Pre-Game Tailgate Party
Who better to show you a good time at the LSU vs TCU game than the LSU Alumni Association Dallas Chapter! In the great tradition of LSU tailgating, the event you do not want to miss is the huge gameday tailgate party that our chapter will be hosting at J Gilligan's Bar & Grill in Arlington, TX before the game. J Gilligan's is located at 400 E Abrams (just down the street from Cowboys Stadium).

From Noon to 6PM your admission wristband will provide the following:

Fun times at the LSU Alumni Dallas Cowboy Classic Tailgate Party

FREE PARKING for Tailgate Ticket Holders only
FREE SHUTTLE SERVICE to and from the game (six 24-passenger buses)
"Typical" Tailgate beverages
Soft drinks & bottle water
Tailgate food - see below for a diverse menu for everyone
Indoor and Outdoor Tented Seating
Live Entertainment (DJ Big Daddy)
TVs for watching other games
Vendors offering various LSU products
LOTS of traditional Tiger Tailgate Fun

J. Gilligan's is a good spot. That's where we did an official pregame party when we played Oregon State a few years back. They've got a bit of seating, but if y'all expecting 2k people, obviously seating is going to be a premium.

Beer is part of the tailgate party ticket package. Other alcoholic beverages can be purchased at Gilligan's. There will also be plenty of tented seating outside, so there will be no problems finding a place to sit. The following is from our website and should answer most of your questions. We will also have shuttle service from several local hotels and you can find out more about that on our website www.lsualumnidallas.com


J Gilligan's has indoor seating for 250 people with plenty of TVs to keep up with the opening day games around the country. The outside area can accommodate 1200 people and will have the true Tiger Tailgate atmosphere. Outside will be TENTED with fans and misters and plenty of tables & seating. Outside will also have plenty of TVs showing the other SEC Games of the day. Food and refreshments will be provided by our event sponsors.

Some of the food that will be served will include:

Hamburger Sliders, Chicken Sliders, BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders
Quesadillas, Tacos, Chips & Salsa
Seasoned French Fries
Tony Chachere's is bringing their tailgate rig and cooking up Cajun fare of jambalaya, turkey, and other items TBD.
See, a little something for everyone!

** Additional food and drinks that are not part of the package will be available for purchase from the restaurant. **

Tailgate Party attendees will be allowed free parking access; 2 Tailgate admission wristbands per car required. Your wristband will allow access into J Gilligan's parking lots with over 1000 spots available. There will be NO "ins and outs" from these lots - parking will NOT be guaranteed once leaving the lot.

With the purchase of above noted Tailgate Party package, *Shuttle transfers to / from the stadium drop off / pickup point is included and your admission wristband will again allow access onto the shuttle. There will be six 24-passenger buses and shuttle service will run continuously from 3pm to 2am. Shuttle service departure frequency to the game will run approximately every 15 - 20 minutes. Shuttle service departure frequency back to J Gilligan's for post-game festivities will depart the pick up point approximately every 30 minutes.

J Gilligan's will be open till 2am for after-game fun !! Come on back for a Post-Game Victory Party and celebrate while the traffic clears.

DO NOT CALL J. GILLIGAN'S. The restaurant is not involved with tailgate ticket sales. If you have any general questions, please send an email to eventchairman@lsualumnidallas.com

IMPORTANT You must have your Tailgate Tickets BEFORE you get to the Free Parking areas and to get into J Gilligan's. During the ordering process, you will select a ticket delivery option. 1) Tickets can be mailed to you for an additional $10 service charge. 2) Tickets can be picked up on August 18 between 2 and 6pm at the Hilton Lincoln Centre hotel lobby. 3) Tickets can be picked up at J Gilligan's starting at 12pm - please consider that you will have to pick up your tickets before heading to the parking area.

From what I've been told the beer will be served from kegs and will be Miller and Abita Amber, although that's not absolutely certain at this point.

Humperdinks. That is the usual hangout and where it was for the Oregon game. It fills up fast, and they had to form a line to get in per the fire marshall when it hit capacity. 1 person out, another could come in. But it was a very good time, good service, pretty good food. I imagine they will be better stocked for drinks this time around.

Add some frog legs to the menu and it would be perfect. Sounds like a great time though.

I didn't go to the tailgate party for the Oregon game. I was too busy walking around the stadium looking for tickets

Doesn't sound bad though since it includes parking, shuttle service, and beer.
