Hey All,

I will be traveling in for the game next weekend. Anyone made this trip before?

Good places to park for the game?
Good places on campus or off to see?
Places to eat?

Any other recs i am not thinking of? I am traveling there from St. Louis.

TIA!

They run two shuttle bus routes on gameday to the two hotel clusters on I-70, one on the East side and one on the West. Not sure about leaving your vehicle parked at a hotel if you aren't staying there, but there are some restaurants and other places near enough the stops that I would imagine you can work around that.

The campus is nothing special, but the best parts of it are not close to the stadium. There is a big VA hospital across the street from the stadium that is ugly as sin. The main campus, north of there, is not bad, but with it being a morning game, you may not have a reason to go check that out pre-game. As you would expect, they have places to eat and bars in their main campus neighborhood on the north, but that's a pretty good hike to the stadium.

Last time I went there (baseball in the spring), I enjoyed some Italian food at Endwell Taverna.

Shakespeare's is the traditional campus pizza joint located in this neighborhood, but they also have a location in the south part of town.

ETA: It's just over a mile to walk from the off campus bar/restaurant district to the stadium. There are some parking garages in that area that you may be able to reserve, if you don't mind the walk.

Made trip last year.

44 Canteen (good lunch spot)
Shakespeare's
Ozark Mountain Biscuit (had breakfast there)
Big Mommas (breakfast)
Chris McDs (dinner). Hard to find a place that serves better steak than some of the best steakhouses in Houston, so manage your expectations.

we go here after games. Gets you far enough away from stadium so there are minimal crowds. Plenty of space as well:
