So, I just called the parking number for Fair Park and was told that parking for this evening is $15. I made him repeat that and clarify that he was not talking about tomorrow for the game, and he confirmed. That seriously can't be right, can it? I have parked for less than that (or free) for events at Fair Park Music Hall.

$15 for a one hour event, yikes.

It was $15 to park last Saturday evening (Chinese Lantern Festival). I believe that's the standard rate. I parked for $10 across the street by the McDonald's and gas station, outside the Gate 5 entrance. Easy in and out.

There's always the DART green line.

I just was told from a friend of mine that is in the Dallas Wind Symphony (HQ at the Band Shell) that he thought parking was typically $5-10 for events there, so he wasn't surprised that it would be $15 for this.

Go buy him some Emergen-C from CVS make him chug 2 per 1 water bottle twice today. Once immediately and once when he goes to sleep. Again when he wakes up tomorrow am and he'll be ready to go. No I am not a Dr., but Yes I do think I know almost as much as them. :crazysmile:

I was just told over the phone by Advancement personnel on the ground at Fair Park that tonight's parking was free.

Awesome! That proves the point of the helpfulness of calling to confirm. Sorry for sounding the parking alarms.

Alright, PRO TIP:

I came in from the East side of the Cotton Bowl itself. Gates are open and never saw a parking person until I parked and saw others having to pay by the band stands.

So I retract what I said earlier BUT there is a work around.

Some observations:

Our cheerleaders/dancers are waaaayyyy hotter (honestly surprising).

The Green Brigade is probably 5x bigger than UNLV's, though the latter do have some fun tunes and routines.

Pres. Smatresk is still definitely all UNLV this week.

When it comes to great college bands, size is not as important as showmanship.

I'll take the under 200 member band that "Letsgiveacheer" was the director of over this current group any day.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
