re: Texas Gameday Experience

Any city that gave us Office Space can’t be all bad!

But they should only get 2,000 tickets next year!

That really was a CSB. Thank you for sharing

We sat in section 102. The fans around us were rude and cussing the lsu team and fans. frick you lsu etc.these were not kids but women and men from 30's and up.
The environment was very hostile the entire game.
Remember the Alamo next year when they go Baton Rouge.
Booing our injured kids and putting the band in the upper deck.
Shame on you Joe Aleva!!

People sell those exact same “Bitch I’m a Tiger” shirts outside of tiger stadium fwiw

Your experience was very different from ours at least as far as the fans. We sat in 102 and The arrogance and entitlement and disdain was palpable. Lots of snarky comments from the fans around us that on my younger days days might have started something. No “good game” or “good luck” comments to be heard. Don’t care to ever go back to a game there. Other than Alabama fans, I found the Texas fans to be among the worst I have encountered.

I was in Row 12 and thought the atmosphere was very good. There were a lot of LSU fans in our area but when I was in line at the concession stand, in the bathroom, waiting to get in the game, etc., everyone was very nice. We were at a tailgate with some UT fans and somehow I ended up with a Maker’s Mark given to me without even asking for anything. After the game, we were waiting outside to meet up with some other people and hundreds of Texas fans passed us by and said nothing that was tasteless.

The entire night I didn’t have a single negative experience. Neither did my girlfriend when she was on her own. Afterwards we walked about half a mile to 6th Street and saw a ton of Tiger fans around.

I also thought the heat was much more manageable than what I’m used to in Houston and Baton Rouge. It may have been 100 officially, but I’ve felt much warmer days in both cities.

I thought it was a little annoying how they piped in about 10 different songs but at least Bulls On Parade made some sense

Eta: Maybe I had high expectations because there are so many wealthy UT alumni, but the stadium itself was less impressive than I expected.

When our bodies are accustomed to high humidity and water around our bodies, we tend to not sweat as much and retain more water. So, for someone to go to Austin with less humidity than New Orleans, you tend to sweat more and not retain as much water in your body because the water tries to balance out the difference with the environment around you makes it feel much hotter to someone. It is called equilibrium, you should do research before such a clueless comment.

This was our experience in 109 as well. The couple of guys sitting to my right were nice and respectful and we shook hands after the game but the majority of them were terrible. Arrogant and pretentious, while at the same time managing to have an inferiority complex about not being in the SEC. Talked shite the entire game, booed our injuries, etc. Had one uppity bitch behind me screaming directly into my right ear the entire time and then saying dumb shite about our education being "49th out of 50th". Was pleased to let her know we were #1 on their scoreboard. Another one told us not to cramp up on our way out after the game and my buddy dropped to a knee and faked one in front of her while I apologized for dragging their loss out longer than it needed to take. I will say, outside of 109, the fans I talked to were pretty friendly. Had some nice conversations in line waiting for beer and walking around the stadium before the game.

Another issue I had was the ridiculous ingress and egress from DKR, walking up what felt like a mile or more of ramp and then getting to a completely crushed packed concourse 15 mins before kickoff in that heat was miserable and not something I ever want to do again. It was the same thing on the way out with the bottleneck at the bottom of the ramps getting out of the stadium and then having the street leading out be blocked by all kinds of stuff making it difficult to get through. Not to mention their beer lines that took me literally from the time we kicked the field goal with a couple of mins left in the 2nd quarter to the start of the 3rd to get through, and their bathroom having zero ventilation.

I also don't really appreciate them ruining the Pursuit of Happiness remix from Project X for me for the foreseeable future.

I assume DKR could be a decent experience if you're going for a lesser anticipated game and have seats in the lower bowl. However, it didn't seem like they were prepared, or had the necessary infrastructure for the number of fans they had in the upper deck last night. JMO.
