Chain places to eat near your hotel or head to the square and try a number of local unique places. I would highly recommend the square.

Guys, I can't thank y'all enough. I think we'll try the Hilton y'all seem to prefer and may even uber to avoid moving my truck in all the traffic.

I hope there's NT gear available for purchase somewhere around Apogee... Also that we dash smu to pieces.

Food ideas without going to dfw?

That's not the most comprehensive list/thread, but it's a good start.

Fantastic. Thank y'all so much.

Are there club or box seats somewhere? I wonder if regular joe's could slip into one for a game or two.

Expand  

My interpretation of box seats is from the 70s when there were physical metal fails separating the "boxes."  Apogee doesn't have that.

The club seats have a separate entrance with a separate ticket checkpoint.  You need a club ticket to get in there.  Can't slip in.

But I mean I suppose you'd need season tickets or to be a lifetime member of the MGC or something to have access to those tickets...

Expand  

Or you know somebody in the club and they buy you a guest pass or you scour the ticket exchange and buy them.  I just sold a pair at cost for the Buttman Cookman game.  Or occasionally, you'll just happen on somebody giving a pair away. But to have them of your very own?  Yes, donations, season tickets, stadium gifts, and all the stomach ulcers that comes with it.  But you also get to throw cheesecake down on @THOR, so that's pretty great.

You can buy single game tickets to the club area as well as far as I know.  I know they've tried to change things around and make things a little bit more strict regarding the club seat tickets but you shouldn't have an issue purchasing tickets for a single game.

I'd be pretty pissed off if I could just go up to the box office and purchase single game club tickets.

Yep it was a head scratch for me as well because people were taking advantage of that and buying tickets to virtually every game and bypassing the donation/license etc.  I think within the last year or two they've set a limit where you can do like just 1 or 2 games a season(so I heard at least).  I even heard current club seat holders were taking advantage of that as well in trying to bypass the donation b/c they'd get extra club single game tickets for every game.

The latter half of what you heard is what was going on.  I don't think you've ever been able to go up to the box office and just purchase a ticket.  What was happening was 

1)  I buy two club seats.  I pay $6,250 ($3,125 X 2) in stadium gifts and $500 in MGC donations.

2)  Every game, I use my two club seats and purchase two additional "Guest Passes"

3)  I effectively have four club seats for the stadium gift price of two.

As of 2014, the policy has been that club seat holders can now only purchase guest passes for three games a season, and that guests may only attend one game per season.  I've never, ever, ever seen them enforce the latter, and haven't tested the former though.

That could very well been the rule but I think if you contacted the ticket office directly I don't think it was hard for anyone purchase them if someone really wanted to because there's always been plenty of unsold seats.

That policy change from 2014 you mentioned seems about right in what Reggie was also explaining to me some time back.

Maybe that's what I should've tried instead of purchasing guest passes legit, because son, that always took multiple phone calls and several days to achieve.

Admittedly I never really had to purchase any guest club passes or anything like that because sadly it's always been tough enough to consistently getting someone to use my 2nd seat and come along.

Wait... You can contact the ticket office directly? I thought that number was secret...

And Oldguy is right, you have to own club seats to buy extra club seats. Always been that way.

But at the same time do I put it past the ticket office not to have known this policy for the last 5 years and to have violated it EVERY time? Hell no.
