We drive 15-20 minutes from Lewisville. No need to stop along the way, but we're usually there 3 hours early to start the tailgating.

[mhow2]

South Denton - about 10 mins. stop at any gas station along the way to get beer. takes about 4 hours to make it home after the game. Just have to hit Fry St. But this year thinking about going to Rocky's Sports Bar on University.

Driving in from Cedar Park TX, 15 minutes NW of Austin. I do take I-35W so I can see FW. No stops for food since the tailgate gives me what I need. Ready for some Cold Beer and Burgers. I think I will drink Amstel Light this year.

1-2 hours from Rowlett. I'll stop about 150 times...ooh, that's the stop and go traffic.

North Carrollton. 30 minute drive.

24 hour prep time.

1 Camper

1 pop-up tent

1 turkey fryer

1 grill

1 smoker

1 outdoor fireplace

1 trip to Sam's for ribs, turkey, chicken, chuck and beer

This is the winning combination.

1 victory.

I will have the Amstels cold for you EE.

[Maverick]

Carthage, TX (East Texas) 3 hours and the Dairy Palace in Canton is a must stop and it is half way!

The Sam Moon in Frisco will be our next stop, that is a wife thing!

[Greeneagle87]

Coming from the Aubrey area.

Yo,you live in Aubrey? go to the football games on fridays?

I live in front of the about 8 miles down the road from the water park, and becuase of traffic,25 mins.

[meangreenmom]

Irving...45 minutes. No stops except our daughter and/or son's dorm rooms on campus.

[HoustonEagle]

Coming From West University, Texas (Houston)

First stop Woody's for some tasty jerky. I just can't pass it up....

Second stop Flower Mound, Texas.......where I was born and raised and where my parents still call home.

Third stop Fouts Field about three hours before the game.....albeit I usually only make three games a season with one of them being the N.O. Bowl.

Takes me about 4 hrs to get to Flower Mound then maybe another thirty to get to Denton

I usually start my gameday about 10:00am with a trip to Red Coleman's on Greenville Avenue in my Mean Green gear for ice and lots of SHINER IN CANS. Usually pick up some cheap wine in little bottles for my bride-to-be. Back to the house and listen to her whine that I want to leave too early (she is cutting into my drinking time). Try to leave Richardson about 4 hours before kickoff; trip usually takes close to an hour before the first top is popped in the Orange lot.

We'll make all home games and the road trip to Ruston; the NO Bowl is still being negotiated with the above-mentioned lady.

Do you know any other places that sells Shiner in a can?

Back to the topic at hand ... the homestead is on the western edge of the Fort [Worth] ... it takes about 45 minutes if the traffic doesn't get snarled up.

It takes the GrandPrairieCaravan about 1 hour to arrive for Mean Green Tailgate Magic. Can't wait to see all our Pals as we kick off the 2005 season!

And, in the meantime...come visit Prairie Lakes Golf Course and TangleRidge Golf Club....they are both GREEN friendly!

[NT91]

Grapevine 35-40 min.

[NTEdgex2]

Takes us about 35-40 minutes from beautiful downtown Euless. We don't stop 'cause I'm trying to make kickoff! (I work until 5pm on most Saturdays.)

GMG!

[MeanGreen61]

Gettin' older so I don't make it up for all games. Drive the 400 plus miles from Corpus Christi. Come in on Friday & return home on Sunday (Couple of nites in the La Quinta on Ft Worth Drive). The home games I attend are like an away game for others I do buy season tickets & when I can't be there, still make sure that someone is in the seats

[grad88]

We just moved from Paris TX to Greenville TX...so I will now be quite a bit closer--thank the Maker! I am looking forward to being able to come to more games now. The night games were really rough on a preacher and made it impossible for me to go (from Paris). Now I think I can deal with it...see ya there.

[LadyGreen]

Takes me all of 9 mins to get to Fouts from my house in denton

[NCMeanGreen]

My home: just north of Raleigh, North Carolina

Length of Drive: Approx 18 hours to Fouts Field

Stop-overs? Somewhere in NC, somewhere in TN, somewhere in Arkansas, somewhere in Texas...did I miss a State???

[NCMeanGreen]

We'll be coming from Mustang, Oklahoma about a 2 hour and 45 minute drive.  Normally stop in Ardmore to stretch and McDonalds for a quick light meal if we're hungry.  Travis tells us he makes the trip in two hours.  Not sure that I want to know that!

Is there really such a thing as a "quick, light meal" at McDonald's????

[posiesnivy]

Okay you got me. Let me re-phrase my comment. We stop at McDonalds for a quick bite to eat, most of the time being a coke and cherry pie. Since this will be our first year to make all the games in Denton, I'm glad to see this post. I'm getting lots of ideas of where to eat either before or after the games.

Thanks for the Definitive Denton Restaurant Thread too! How about area lakes to visit while we are there for the weekends?

Denton is located between 2 very large Corp of Engineer lakes, ie, Lake Lewisville and Lake Ray Roberts. The latter is great for fishing as I understand it.

Lake Lewisiville is good for recreation and is said to be the busiest lake in the Lone Star State. Be careful if you are boating on Lake Lewisville.

Both lakes have nice picnic grounds. You can get maps of both lakes at many large interstate truck stops

Here is a link to the state parks on the lake.

I just love the name of one of the sites........Isle du Bois
