March 1, 20241 yr Well, I fucked up. I have gone to buy my 3 day pass about 6 times in the last two days at my desk and something pulls me away. Now they're sold out. I have a room for two nights and meeting 5 others there for the entire weekend. Is anyone has a 3 day they aren't using, please let me know, or an extra GA for tomorrow at the least and I can buy singles for Sat/Sun. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
March 1, 20241 yr I think a lot of fans from the Vanderbilt / ULL game stay over for LSU / UT. Ill be there about 2:30 Ill be easy to find. Stop me and ill buy you a beer
March 1, 20241 yr Weekend Rotations FRI–Texas RHP Lebarron Johnson Jr. (1-0. 1.38) vs. LSU TBA SAT–Texas RHP Charlie Hurley (1-0, 0.93) vs. Texas State LHP Jack Stroud (1-1, 9.45) SUN–Texas RHP Cody Howard (2-0, 0.00) vs. Vanderbilt LHP Devin Futrell (1-0, 1.64)
March 1, 20241 yr Bought a club seat for Friday, lucky to have an out in a pinch. Will just have to miss the 3 day and get singles. Could be worse I guess. Few dollars more in the end and minor hiccup.

Stadium food will be limited, eat before the game cobos is very close to minute maid, has good food. Itll be packed and hopping. Best one stop place and easy 1820 bar is very close, no food if you’re going to ninfas pre game, be mindful of the wait. El tiempo is across the street, usually zero wait voodoo queen (good chicken strips), 8 rows flint (some food), and White rhino are a couple of blocks from an easy rail ride in. Check opening times, perfect for post games street to kitchen just won a national james beard and almost in front of a rail stop. champ burger is one block down from street to kitchen, damn good neighborhood spot. All walkable. I walk to all these places and the rail stop is right there up by the stadium / eado … new little woodrows rodeo goat truckyard 8th wonder hi way cantina pizza by the slice spot ton of other spots. All walkable from astros parking lot. Street parking, be mindful - that area they love to break into cars. Keep them empty, trunks too. If you have a truck, they like the chances you have a pistol under your seat. Last playoffs, hpd had two bait trucks with pistols and maga stickers, both trucks got hit and it still took them an hour to track them down. It was Two guys and they had over 40 pistols @UTPhil2006 has a ton of recs … Ninfas or El Tiempo in Navigation if you guys want the true Houston style TexMex. El Tiempo has the best fajitas in the world. Fight me. But their weekend breakfast / brunch is also the tits. You get a whole basket of Mexican sweat bread with it for free… Edited March 1, 20241 yr by Dnaguy
March 1, 20241 yr Also might be fun for you guys to Uber to the St Arnold’s brewery Saturday morning if you’re up for it. Cool spot if 8th Wonder isn’t your jam but likely more families there so better stay away you degenerates.
March 1, 20241 yr Oh and if you don’t want to pay for parking, there’s usually always free street parking on the weekends further to the center of downtown / towards the Theater district. I would park there a lot of times, walk towards the stadium, stop in The Flying Saucer for a beer, and then continue on the game. Now granted that’s usually for an afternoon / evening game and not in the morning.
March 1, 20241 yr Friday: 11 am: Houston vs Texas State 3 pm: Louisiana vs Vanderbilt 7 pm: LSU vs Texas Saturday: 11 am: Vanderbilt vs Houston 3 pm: Texas State vs Texas 7 pm: Louisiana vs LSU Sunday: 11 am: Texas vs Vanderbilt 3 pm: Texas State vs LSU 7 pm: Houston vs Louisiana
March 1, 20241 yr Maybe if the Astros open up more GA seats we can afford another OF. Seriously though if there is demand, open up more seating

March 1, 20241 yr Crane is a business savvy / very smart owner. This is the 3rd (and biggest) college tournament at mmp this offseason. https://www.chron.com/sports/astros/article/astros-college-classic-18695758.php Quote Schools like LSU and Texas have long-standing commitments to the tournament, which ensure they'll return every other season. The two faced off at Minute Maid Park in 2022. "We focus on the Big 12 and Southeastern Conference because that's our region, and then we like to have a local team in the tournament every year to create that local buzz," Grande said. "I love mixing in Texas State and Sam Houston State because they don't get an opportunity to play here like those other years." Because of the teams that come to town, people who are eager for a taste of baseball flock to Minute Maid Park. Grande said that there were 40,000 fans in attendance at the 2020 tournament (before the Covid-19 shutdown), and that number increased to 50,000 in 2022. He projects that this year will attract 60,000 fans. That's good for teams that often recruit in a hotbed of Texas talent in the Houston area. UH has 12 players from the Houston area on its current roster, while Texas has nine and Texas State and UL each have five. Vanderbilt and LSU both have one Houston-area player on their roster, with two local prospects among LSU's 2024 recruiting class. hopefully they have texas and lsu on lock down Edited March 1, 20241 yr by tx 3 putt

My go to lately, not in a margarita but in my ranch water, is Lalo. That shit is smooth, with real tequila taste, no additives, and there's absolutely nothing offensive about it. If you want to try it now, it's $39.99 at Total Wine. It's dropped $2 in the last couple of weeks. IDK if it's b/c of agave prices tanking. What were we talking about again?

March 1, 20241 yr For those of you with kids, or those who like shiny objects, they’re doing fireworks post game
March 1, 20241 yr lol, david pierce coaching 3b for the wildcats. Potential walkoff run makes the 1st out at the plate on a single to deep SS.
March 1, 20241 yr Damnit, Cats just wasted a golden opportunity to walk it off in the 9th. Runner on 2nd with 0 outs. Tried to score on a shallow single to CF. Out by a mile at home. Next 2 batters K'd and then easy pop-up.
