during the night before at Carney's Pub (great place, btw) in Bryan, Texas, we made a pact that for as long as Miami is in this tournament, we'll go to every game till the end.

We did a toast at the morning tailgate to make it official. As long as the Hurricanes are in this, we'll be there live

Whose with us?

Booking tomorrow

Where are Canes fans generally staying? Any pregame events or recommendations for parts of town?

Dallas is a metroplex. Generally speaking, south Dallas should be avoided. Places like Oak Cliff and Pleasant Grove (south Dallas) are very rich in crime. Your car could be vandalized at night.

Immediate west Dallas should also be avoided. Again, high crime.

AT&T stadium, where the game is played, is west Dallas, but in Arlington (a suburb) that is farther west than the bad “west Dallas”. So staying in Arlington or Irving would be safe. North Dallas is always safe. It’s the rich part of Dallas where Matthew Stafford and Clayton Kershaw are from. Places like University Park, Lakewood, Highland Park) are all upscale and safe. The only negative about north Dallas is the cost and the driving distance to stadium (30-40mins). But your parked car while asleep in the hotel will be safe in north Dallas.

Now nightlife, bars and stuff. **** man, Deep Ellum and Uptown are the places to hang out at night. Everyone enjoys Deep Ellum.

I’m told Deep Elum can be dangerous at night.. lots of shootings etc.. I’m bringing the family so I won’t be out late anyway but just sharing what I heard from Dallas locals..

Yea, be careful down there. The bars are cool but they're attracting a younger, wilder crowd.
 
If I didn’t already have travel plans for the holidays I would be there.

If they get by OSU I’ll be at the next one.

Anywhere (outside of north Dallas) *can be dangerous*. I lived in Deep Ellum in a loft for almost 8 years. Because of the bars, it gets loud and rowdy, lots of fights and yelling, but I really don’t remember gun violence.

Was at Carney's as well and unfortunately didn't get to meet you but like you, I'm riding this to the end as well. It's been far too long!!! Heading to Dallas to shock the world... GO CANES

I’m considering it, but not sure how it would be traveling and going to a game solo.

My pops might be out for health reasons so may also heading out solo and looking for other canes fans.

Are there any tailgates / canes gatherings that we could join up with?

Headed to Dallas from SA to exact revenge on the program that ended us 25 years ago. It will be nice to exact revenge and even more sweet when they have the best player in Dade in 25 years.

Then Beck beating Georgia.

Then Mario winning the ship in Miami over Oregon.

Why not us?

If this actually happens….
