Starting a thread. We are skipping Columbus because of some serious fuckery that made it make no sense for a large scale event. 

Home schedule only consists of 6 games this year - Arkansas and TAMU to finish of the season. 

Tailgates packages will become available soon, you can get a full season for $100 per person. You can pre-buy any single game before the season starts for $25 per person and early bird will be $30 any time in the season. Walk ups are going to be $40 unless they are with a full season pass holder and then they can use your promo code to get in for $25. 

A season pass will also get you early access and permanently discounted pricing for the away games we are planning to do this year (Gainesville and Athens) Pricing isn't finalized for those, but the season pass will be 25% off, maybe more if the economics work out favorably. We are targeting for away tailgates to be $125-150 per person all inclusive with a food and non alcoholic beverage option for $85 or so. 

We will have the same spots as the last seasons for home games and larger setups for Arkansas and TAMU. 

Things are changing slightly and this will not just be the Surly Horns Tailgate - we will change the name to something (open to suggestions), but Surly will be the primary sponsor alongside OnTexasFootball as the media sponsor. We are taking additional sponsors, sponsor packages come with a package of season tickets and you can have swag at the tailgate etc. You will also be able to offer discounted tickets to your customers/associates to get into a tailgate for cheaper. We are already the premier on-campus tailgate outside of Texas Exes, and I expect to continue to grow as we have more regulars and people who plan to attend the watch parties during the games. 

 

 

I assume that additional sponsorship has showed up things financially?

I can think of worst things than just pivoting to Burnt Ends for the name if Surly isn't going to be friendly enough.

Seconded on Burnt Ends Tailgate, makes too much sense. Name is awesome, plays well with the theme, still family friendly. Also we should serve delicious burnt ends at every tailgate. Make it happen! @immamac

I, along with three old friends from out of state, none of whom ever has seen a game at DKR (they aren't UT grads) likely will be there for the Vandy game.  Looking forward to some early morning Surly (or whatever you end up calling it) shenanigans.

Anyone going to Starkville?  I just picked up two Foundation tickets. Deadline is today. 
 

Any insights on accommodations is appreciated. I see a La Quinta for $500 a night which is probably preferred over a $200 Red Roof Inn?

dcbc, you are a madman. When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy. If the two of us together, forget it.

As long as it's not in Wisconsin.  I got the shit kicked out of me in Wisconsin once.

I've never been to a football game, but have spent a goodly amount of time on campus for work items. 

It's a friendly town, lots of good restaurants, fans will be into it but Texas fans will be viewed as interesting or just different. Most hostilities are reserved for Louisville and to a far lower degree Indiana, Florida and Arkansas. If you haven't booked a hotel do it yesterday. 

Since I haven't been there for football I can't speak to tailgates but I'm asking some UK contacts I have about them.

I'll be there and if you want any tips on restaurant, hotels, want to connect or whatever just PM me. 

If you're a car enthusiast and have time, Blue Ridge Parkway is absolutely worth the time to drive. Just keep the speed down as it is a government revenue producer. If you're a Bourbon guy there are lots of great side trips off the Parkway.

I'd say only Cbus is a better town than Lexington as an away trip this year and that's only because Cbus is much larger and more metro with better restaurants. I'm suprised there isn't more interest for the UK game for fans here. The OSU fans take Cbus value down a lot, so I personally think UK is the best road trip this year. Though watching Texas play #2 is a massive reward, particularly if we win.

I'll be at Kentucky also with about eight others. I've been to one football game there years ago. Tailgate scene was decent. Expect a friendly crowd. I did a quick check and to reserve a tailgate setup from RevelXP is $1200 - the most expensive game of the year. Even more than their Tennessee game. The Texas game is Homecoming and Parents Weekend. Go figure. We plan to go to Kenneland on Friday. Since the game is Saturday night, we are deciding on whether to go to Kenneland again, bourbon trail, or all day tailgate.

Look at Columbus MS as well if you dont mind a 30ish minute drive. Could save a few hundred dollars.

@TxEx84 I'll be there with an amigo as well. Between you, me and @GottaB sounds like we'll have 12 or so folks. So $100ish per person. If you were open to reserving the spot I'd be open to chipping in $200. Maybe make plans for some grub and drinks? I'm driving in and could bring coolers, canopy and a some chairs. PM me if interested.

And you won't be missing anything staying there instead of Starkville.

Sounds good. I'll check with my daughter (no pics) who lives there. See if there are others that want to join or if she has other ideas for tailgating.

We went for a game a few years ago. It was alright. Not close to the level of the SEC powers.
