IN—
Me and my boy heading that way.
Staying at Club Quarters.
Nice lil walk to Minute Maid Park.
Kinda reminds me of the old Winn Dixie Classic at the Superdome.
Love it

Not bad but crowded and a 15 min drive or so.

Downtown nightlife and restaurant scene is great now, and you’ll be able to pregame somewhere and walk to the ballpark.

Def stay in downtown over galleria if you’re going in town for the games.

Thinking there is also a food truck park in this area


If you're thinking of the parking lot at Leeland & St Emmanuel, it's been gone for a few years now. But next door to Rodeo Goat there is Truck Yard, they have a rotation of food trucks that come through there daily.

Downtown. It’s not the Downtown Houston of the 90’s. it’s pretty awesome with a lot of great spots to do stuff

The Galleria is like another small city with expensive shopping, bars, and restaurants. It’s about a 15 minute drive to downtown, but worth it if you’re looking to stay overnight in a trendy social area. There is a ton of things to do around there including enjoying the eye candy.

Do you know what time the doors open on Sunday morning for the 11:00 game?

I searched a bit on my phone on the Shriners classic website but couldn’t seem to find when the stadium opens.

My kiddos like to get there as early as possible to watch the warmups and BP. Thanks for any info!

Was there tonight after flying down from DFW.

Great showing by Tiger Nation & always a joy beating Texass in any sport.

Chris G was there but his voice was in & out. Still a force for cheering in the Tigahs.
