Planning Mean Green Shenanigans in Fayetteville

[Christopher Walker]

I secured my visiting section ticket yesterday and my AirBnB this morning. I'm officially way too excited for this weekend jaunt to potentially upend the Hogs.

It's been four or five years since I was up in that part of the State, and then it was to officiate my best friends' wedding.

Any particular bar or spots folks have their eye on to turn into Mean Green central? I'm thinking of JBGB's, Dickson Street in general, and then visiting Crystal Bridges art museum that Sunday on my way out.

Those are the two main things people do when they visit. NWA has a ton of stuff to do outdoors but you probably won't be here long enough for that.

For visitors that have kids, there is the Daisy Airgun Museum in Rogers. And the Walmart Museum is also in Downtown Bentonville and has an old school ice cream shop attached to it. Of course there are things like Dave & Buster's and we're getting a Topgolf but those probably aren't anything you won't find in the DFW area already.

You can find out a lot more about the area here: https://issuu.com/rlacc/docs/2018goodlife_web

Cowboys fans may find it cool to check out our Student Athlete Success Center that's only a few years old (below) and we have a lot of historical stuff that talks about Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson from when they played here. Also you'll only be the second game since we've renovated the new north endzone and you'll be able to walk around and watch the game from the patio style concourse if you want to. Before, you couldn't go around the stadium 360 degrees from the inside and it was a bit of a pain in the ass.

My dad played there in the 40's and they have always been a distant second as far as teams I follow.  Absolutely beautiful campus and part of the state.  Not so much a Jerry Jones fan.

DO NOT go to "Pigtails", their adult entertainment bar...it gets too rowdy for UNT fans after a game.

I'm a Denton Expat living in Fayetteville. JBGB's is a nice, open, outdoor friendly spot, but it's a good 20+ minute drive to general stadium location on gamedays. And that's probably generous. On Dickson there are several Hog friendly bars and some that are pretty indifferent to the whole "game day" atmosphere. I guess it depends on what kind of crowd you're looking for. I'm a fan of Smoke & Barrel and Brewski's Draft Emporium, but those are both more divey (think pre-remodel Andy's or equivalent). Let me know if you have any questions about particular establishments or what recommendations for food, etc. I'm looking forward to seeing my undergrad alma mater beat my other school.

Lets just hope we get to here the lady sing when the game is over. Sorry I just think this is the funniest video ever.

Having worked for Andy's pre- and post-remodel, I sincerely appreciate this comment.

That made me think.  Could these hats ever become a thing at UNT?

Maybe if the brown parts were green, but I digress.

Alright who is starting the gofundme to give our entire student section these hates for the SMU game? I'll donate $100, how many hats does that get us?

It would better if we could get a green eagle!

that sorta looks like @emmitt01...

Yes, it needs to be green, and the eyebrows need to be bushier (on the eagle, not on @emmitt01)

Be honest, the bolded portion wasn't really a typo...

That, and a bigger beak! Size matters here (no beak joke intended).

There used to be a bbq grill I was really impressed with.  It was cast aluminum and the removable top was red in the shape of a wild hog, Razorback, and there were smoke relief holes in the ears and under the tail.  I don’t know how it cooked but it look great smoking.  If you see one please post it here.
