I wonder if Hurricane Grill opened up again on Greenville after the fire
No. It didn't reopen, but the strip did. There is a Dodie's there now, which is much better and which is always full of LSU fans. Owner went to LSU.

Sheraton and Fairmont downtown are viable options.

Uptown was crazy last year with LSU fans. Very fun. There you should do Zaza, Stoneleigh or Crescent. Downtown- Magnolia, Fairmont or W. Do not stay, I repeat, do not stay at the Hyatt House Lincoln Park on 75. It is heinous. The Holiday Inn on 75 just did a $9 million refurbish, so should be good.
For under 30- definitely Uptown/West Village
For shopping- Northpark area
Downtown good, too.
For Oregon game, every area had tons of bars/restaurants and tons of LSU fans.

McKinney Ave in Uptown Dallas. Top spot for mid to late 20's singles. It's a fun place to live.
Yeah but the novelty wears off, I was ready to get the hell out by 27.

We stayed at an amazing 5* hotel for the Oregon game in Dallas. Let me see if I can remember where it was.

Just moved here + single + not 27 = Uptown is fantastic.

Dont think so. But the family lived in Nola....although all of the sons went to Houston Strake Jesuit. The one son ran track for LSU but was killed crossing nicholson by Sports and Freds in 1984-5. The remaining 2 sons run the new Greenville Dodies and its basically a douche bag place. The original Dodies is still on lower Greenville and more family oriented.
For Hotels....in addition to those mentioned, Check:
The Joule
Dallas Marriot City Center
Baileys Uptown
Hotel St Germain ....upscale
Best Western City Place
La Quinta on 75
Radisson on 75
Hotel Lumen
Doubletree Campbell Center
These are all close in and an easy drive or cab to Mckinney ave, Greenville ave or Henderson Ave. which are the main bar areas....and Deep Ellum.....I think the official party is usually in Deep Ellum.

Palomar will be slammed with Texas Tech fans as they are playing SMU that Friday night at SMU, and the hotel is right next to the stadium. Zaza is the cheesiest place in Dallas (which says something).

I stayed here for the Oregon game and its pretty sexy. Nice sports bar area. They used to have a pub downstairs but I think they may have closed it.
It's right off 30 and you can take that all the way to Arlington.
Also a little tip or those worried about parking at cowboys stadium. Me and my buddies got down there about 11 am for the Oregon game and had lunch at TGIFridays right down the street from the stadium. They told us if we threw our receipt on the dash that we could park there all day for free.

When I was in college at LSU, Chris, one of the owners, lived next door to me. He was, in fact, enrolled in school and was a member of Delta Chi fraternity. I really don't know if he graduated, but I think that he did.
Also, I like the new Dodie's.

I spent nights in both Fort Worth and Dallas prior to the Oregon game. I preferred Fort Worth.
For what it's worth, I stayed at the Magnolia in Dallas.

I stand corrected. Ive talked to both the brothers over the years and they always struck me as not that bright and dullards personality wise. Charlie, the dad that started Dodies, is/ was the brains and personality of Dodies.
