Updated for the upcoming football season.


Map 2.0:

http://bit.ly/13Ug70l

New Map Features:

*Live Weather Radar
*Social Media, including Twitter, Flickr, & YouTube
*Updated places based on user posts (as of 7/22/2013)


I will maintain this map as I have time. This is just a preliminary version which needs to be checked and edited for accuracy.

Also, under "Bookmarks" I have all of the SEC football stadium locations saved.

**Note: Only the map will be updated from now on - the list below will no longer be updated.

Enjoy!

To all of the future SEC brethren, please list anything we Aggies must see/do/try when coming to visit during football season.

To all the Aggies, let's do the same for the SEC visitors. I'll start with a few things to do when coming to College Station:

freebirds?????????????????

If yo're going to advise them to get some good Mexican, then suggest some good Mexican places.

I wouldn't consider Freebirds Mexican really.

btw, care to add anything rho?

I might get flamed for this, but...

lately I've always been going to Rudy's

Freebirds isn't mexican. Debate whether or not it has the merit to be on the list, but it isn't mexican.

I don't think it's Mexican either but it is definitely NOT on my list of "must sees" in College Station. Are we talking JUST bryan/CS or can we expand to say... Washington-on-the-Brazos?

I might just have to back out of this thread... Freebirds and RUDY'S?????

You can expand.

I'd say take a Fightin' Texas Aggie Campus Tour. As a former tour guide, I loved gameday tours with fans from the opponent's team that were genuinely interested in learning about the University. As long as they stayed respectful, I would even spar a little with them on school stats, sports teams, or general traditions.

Definitely take a walk through and check out the sights!

Its not posted outside but you can start drinking at the chicken at 8am game days ( most days really).

If you are driving from Bush IAH or Hobby airport on a Friday evening around 5 pm, I'd advise avoiding US 290 West in NW Houston like the plague.

If you come to Gainesville, you have to go to Burrito Brothers. Just warning you guys though that every school will have the fans that are drunk and act stupid (especially when you win) but for the most part it's awesome here in the SEC. If you guys ever get to go to Ole Miss there is the Grove. Don't just show up for the day either try to make it a weekend and enjoy the towns, well all of them except maybe Starkville...lol At Tennessee they have the "Vol Navy" that comes down the River, that's pretty cool. You will not regret coming to the SEC.

lol, I posted the first one twice.

I wish the Chicken would die as "the place" to visit if you're in town for a game. There hasn't been a hot girl in that place since 1994.

Go to the Corner roof.

Messina Hof Vineyards
Washington-on-the-Brazos/Star of the Republic Museum
Antique Rose Emporium
Blue Bell Creamery (me I'm like eh but others seem to like it)
BBQ: Martin's or Fargo's
Mexican: Casa Rod, Papa Perez, El Sol de Mexico
Northgate Friday night
Bush Library
campus tour
Bonfire Memorial (can't believe I forgot that - bad rhos)


Trying to think of stuff people should see and not just "stuff to do"

Aren't there freebirds and rudys pretty much everywhere? Lubbock has two freebirds, and one of them across the parking lot from rudys.

*Spoetzl Brewery (if your coming from Austin or San Antonio)

Everyone needs to visit the Bonfire Memorial. It's an amazing experience that really tells the story of what being an Aggie is all about.

*Saint Arnold's Brewery (if you are coming from Houston)

Rooftop Corner Bar to watch other games
Hullabaloo for Breakfast (Anytime of day)
Laynes Chicken Fingers
Northgate for night life
Midnight yell is something you want to check out at least once

As an Aggie familiar with Oxford (ole miss) I can tell you a few to-do's there...

The Grove: pre-game - free food, free beer, hot strangers that quickly become friends. You have never seen so many gorgeous girls at one time.

The Square: restaurants (see below), bars, square books, various shops

You must eat at:
Old Venice - try the crawfish rolls
Ajax
City Grocery

Not on the square...

BBB - Big Bad Breakfast: the place to grub in the a.m.

Abner's is their chicken place (layne's)

Rebel Rags: If you want to buy anything while you're there

Chicken Oil Company
Dry Bean Saloon

Wings-N-More after the game

Dudley's Draw (hippie alternative to the Chicken)

Rudy's sucks

LOVE Wings N More. Especially the wing and rib sampler.

I also like Martin's bbq in Bryan if it is still there.

Pregame:

Watch the Corps of Cadets step off from the Quad.

you can get wing n more literally anywhere. Nothing on their menu is good. Its a run of the mill chain restaurant.

Freebirds is not Mexican. I am Mexican-American so I think I am qualified to throw down the hammer. Another common misconception...burritos are not Mexican food, they are Tex-Mex! There is something similar to burritos in northern Mexico parts but it is not the same kind of burrito we are all use to.

But as far as general places for SEC fans to start off with:

-Northgate
-Campus tour
-Bonfire Memorial
-George Bush Library
-Yes, Freebirds wouldn't hurt

I recommend blue baker. They are one of the few bakery's in the country that still make everything by hand from scratch. It's delicious.

To see:

Gameday March In

Places to eat:

The Grapevine
Cafe Eccell
