FRISCO: FRIDAY NIGHT AND GAMEDAY INFO.

I started this thread for people going to Frisco to share information. I haven't been there before and I'm trying to pick up some information to make the trip an enjoyable experience. I have a few items to share and if anyone has anything to share please chime in. I have learned more off of reading the Bison forum but that is understandable since they have been making this trip almost yearly.

Friday night: I'm open to a meet up with other Eagle fans. I thought I had read on the Bisonville forum about where they were meeting up at but now I can't seem to find it but here are a couple of other threads that might have some useful info.
BBQ places (wonder if they serve bison):

Country /western bars (AKA $hitkicker):
http://www.bisonville.com/forum/showthread.php?39950-country-western-bar

Tailgaiting: If you're thinking about tail gaiting in the parking lot then this is a must read! Lots officially open at 7AM Sat. but read the link because Bison are experts at this and there may be a lot just for EWU people (note the Phone number for the parking manager).

Stadium info: Want to know where will call is, or what you can bring into the stadium.

Game day activities: Home and visiting team (I don't know what we are) team arrivals and pep rally.

Like I said, if you've been there before please share your experiences. Or if anyone has a suggestion for Friday night throw that out there too!

Go Eags!
 
Forgot one thing, on the link for stadium info, there is also a schedule for shuttle busses to the stadium leaving from 4 different locations.
 
Thanks for posting all this info. I would be interested to see the practice on Friday in Frisco if it's open. Does anyone know where and when that might happen?

There are quite a few eating places around the stadium now and the old Frisco is about a mile east on Main. Go north on the Dallas North Parkway to El Dorado street and there are also a lot of places to eat and frequent. None I would call typically Texan. Go south on the dallas north parkway to Warren pkwy and head east there is a big shopping and restaurant area on the right (if you see Preston Rd take a right and everything is on your right). The Cowboys Star complex is down off Warren as well if you take a right (west) off the Parkway. It's Texas, you can't miss it. If you want a Double Double at In/Out, take Main east 20-25 minutes (it's an easy drive) cross under Hwy 75 and it will be on the right with several other restaurants. Not a bar type, but there are a lot of options all over the place. It's not the Frisco of 2010. Jerry's money has caused a lot of build up. Travel safe Eag Nation. See y'all there.
 
See you all in Frisco at the tailgate and at the hotel in Plano the night before. Let's all take Texas and the Bison by storm!!
 
More game day info from FC Dallas twitter page about game day parking and food/beer/wine options for each concession stand. Oh and EWU is the away team!

Bavarian grill is considered a top authentic german restaurant. Hump from Frisco if you are looking for good beer and food though its a great stop. Off 75 and Parker

Well tonight (Friday) we are going to Dave and Busters in Frisco at 7 for a EWU fan meet up. My wife spotted this the the EWU tailgate facebook page. They reseved a room and they had to get a bigger room when they exceeded the 80 people capacity. So now you've got another option.
Go Eags!
