I'll be there and hope we get the W, it will make the Uber ride to Dallas much sweeter for the Original Mistfits with Glen Danzig/Alice Cooper concert

Typical bar food: Burgers, Wings, Hot Sandwiches...etc

Beer is cold from the tap, and they have a pretty good selection

Do people actually go to these watch parties? I went to the Dallas one last Saturday, and the bar couldn't even put the game on TV for the 7 of us there wearing green. Very disappointing. What is the attendance like at these other watch parties? Do the bars put the game on multiple TVs?

Hey since you are going to be in Dallas anyway.  This might be more convenient and cheaper for you.

I was at the McKinney one for the Memphis game.  Game was on several TVs.  Probably 25-30 greenies there.

Dallas Chapter does a horrible job of advertising their watch parties.  I wasn't aware they even had them until this post spurred me to Google search for it.   The drive to McKinney too far for me, I live south of HWY 183.  There was one in Dallas Deep Ellum area a few years ago that was much better attended.  But that was before Mason Fine left.   🤷🏽‍♂️.   The McKinney Chapter fans/alumni are hearty and diehard.   Always a good turnout Everytime I have the opportunity to travel that far.  Even when they are a humble place like Fuzzy's Tacos.

I haven’t been in a few years, but I had a blast at the Fuzzys in Allen. About 40 fans were there.  They had giveaways. The game was on multiple tv’s. Good stuff. @Findog

You’d love ChopShop.  More TV’s and more food variety.  There are a couple postgame events going on there today too:

Denton County’s watch party will be at The Dive.

To give you a taste, here is a link to where some of the photo albums are from past watching parties (and other UNT events) in Collin County:  https://www.facebook.com/UNTAlumniCollinCo/photos_albums
