Was there Saturday - thought it was fantastic. Beautiful HUGE TVs. Didn't go Sunday because there were no early games. Would definitely go back. It opened this past week and has more to come.

It’s a fantastic venue. They needed more bartenders though!

a group of us went there sunday post game and the place was phenomenal. We never realized the place existed to that extent anyway; and essentially just went in to check it out and have some drinks while waiting for UBER prices to drop. Ended up staying past 2am. LSU fans more or less took it over with some Miami fans also around. They played Calling Baton Rouge twice while we were there and the place went nuts. Hell, they even played Neck one time while we were there. (And yes, STTDB could be heard.)

We hung out in the parking lot after first getting to the stadium and drinking a couple of beers. Way too hot on that asphalt to tailgate. Wandered over to Texas Live and found a good BBQ joint. We just ate and drank there the rest of the afternoon before the game. Great venue as others have said.

So then the Cowboys are just incredibly lucky to be right next to it then?


Essentially, yes. It is almost going to be connected to the new Globe Life Park.

Jerry and co. didn’t have anything to do with the facility being built but will of course reap the benefits.

The Rangers needed this much more than the Cowboys did.

If they can keep it well run it will be a boon for any event at either venue. It's truly a phenomenal place.

Next time the Tigers play then, that hotel will be finished... I’m booking there. That place was awesome.. No offense to light and power district in KC but Texas Live is better

Was there from noon to 5pm on sunday. The place had AC which was a huge plus. Tons of places to drink and eat inside. And the DJ had both fan bases going BONKERS. One of the best times I've had tailgating without a doubt. Would be awesome to see LSU do something like this.

I talked to a manager there. He said there are 7 of these throughout the country right now. He said St. Louis and KC were 2 of them. I think it’s Baseball friendly because there are so many games......but many NFL teams will benefit because they are part of Baseball complexes.

I think someone that was in my group may have some video of it. I will check.

This was my experience. Our group was at Troy's. Took too long to get a drink. I was drinking beer so I would simply walk about 20 yards to a spot that had a girl that had iced down tubs of metal bottles. It was a good thing that a rest room was along that route. Had a great time.

Awesome pregame venue. The future of tailgating - at least for the first 4 or 5 games. I felt sorry for the fools under the tents on an asphalt parking lot about 120 degrees for 4 hours

That is a great venue for any sporting event. It reminds me of the Battery that the Atlanta Braves have.

Awesome place to day drink and great for large groups
