Flying in early to bum around Austin for a few days. Most definitely thinking of taking in the Longhorns game Saturday night. Any tips suggestions for pregame / in game things to definitely not miss. Big college football fan but have only been to Badger games in Madison. I assume UT will have a similar vibe - just plus 50 degrees. Appreciate any in sight. See you in Austin.

    Plenty of tailgating around the stadium. Scholz’ Garden is a great place to check out before the game. They also do pregame concerts outside the stadium by the LBJ museum. 

    My one game in Madison was 20 degrees and snowy so this will be much different!

    I'll also be in Austin early Saturday and going to the game.  If you or anyone else wants to meet up for some pregame lets do it.  I've never been to Austin so I'm just playing things as they come since I don't know where to go.

    Being from Milwaukee Scholz Garden definitely looks like my jam. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Should be a fun game after the huge win last week. Big Boi is playing the pregame concert before the game. I just got a ticket for the game so I’ll be there too.

    He’s used that same stool for 25+ years (see my avatar). It’s very cool.

    Thinking about the Longhorns game now, but will have to Stubhub it looks like. Never really used it. Anyone have any issues with it?
  • ComeToTXComeToTX Posts: 7,755
    Never had issues. Seat geek is usually a bit cheaper though.

    Thanks! Pulled the trigger on Stubhub. $37 a ticket. Sounds good to me!
