For those of us going (I am going by myself) I would like to start a thread of places we can meet for dinner/drinks/etc. This thread can also be useful for posting flight and hotel information. |

Pretty sure the University's Alumni Relations team will be hosting drink/watch parties. Should find out more at the Selection Sunday event this afternoon and will post any updates I hear about. |

Just booked my flight into DFW (from NYC) - landing at 10PM Wednesday night, staying at a friend's. So far seems that I'll be heading to the game by myself - would love to find seats to sit w/ Loyola folks. Who else is making the trip? |

I visited the Dallas Metroplex this past July, staying in Arlington. For more information about Dallas area tourism: https://www.visitdallas.com. Time and distance may not allow you to visit many attractions in the Metroplex, but the No. 1 tourist attraction in Dallas is probably the Sixth Floor Museum (https://www.jfk.org/) in the Dallas County Administration Building (nee the Texas School Book Depository). The Sixth Floor Museum obviously covers the events surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy, but it is also a museum about Kennedy's life and career beyond that. If you somehow get to Arlington (about 20 miles west of Dallas), visit AT&T Stadium which is the home of the Dallas Cowboys. That was an awesome stadium tour when I went. The Southfork Ranch (http://www.southforkranch.com/) is another popular attraction in the Metroplex, but that is about 25 miles northeast of Dallas in Parker. |

Can you still walk around the stockyards in Ft. Worth and drink/buy beer on the street? It reminded me of N.O. |

Are there any good possibly cheaper ways to get to Dallas besides just a flight from Chicago to Dallas. The tickets are a little pricey. |

For those of you planning to fly to Dallas, keep in mind that Southwest flies to Dallas Love Field (DAL) while most of the other airlines fly to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). Love Field is closer to Downtown Dallas. |

On Southwest it is also much cheaper to fly out of Milwaukee to Dallas as opposed to Midway. |

The Ticketmaster site has behind the goal upper deck seats at $150. Order from Loyola if you can, cheaper prices and better seats, but limited number. |
