    Paid parking lots inside the Reliant complex (some require passes, some don’t). Then there will be 50 businesses within walking distance that will offer parking for $40 or whatever. Reliant is steps from 610 (the loop), so if you can get out of the traffic in the official Reliant lots, you can be moving back to your destination pretty quick.

    Can confirm Truth BBQ is worth the trip. If you get anything besides brisket you are a fag.

    If I'm willing to walk 18 miles in a blackout, how much can I save?

    is Lady Bird lake anywhere near this?

    I'm worried about #myDwags going missing

    For real tho what is the best way to the stadium? And getting out of it?

    Flying in the morning of. I have a car rental reserved cause Houston.

    When I last looked the Downtown hotels were sold out.

    ———-
    Stay downtown if possible. Lots of decent hotels. And the only public transit any human being in Houston uses is the one Houston metro train route that goes from downtown to Reliant Stadium. If you’re in the area, I’ll buy you a drink. My law firm is right near the train pickup and I might open a tab for Huskies only if you promise to teach me the basic cheers and words to your fight song so I don’t look like a total chump.

    Is renting a car a necessity? My buddies are planning on ubering everywhere, but that seems like it would get stupid expensive in a huge area like Houston. I can rent a full size car through Costco for like $250 for the 4 days I’ll be there. Seems like a no brainer

    Assuming you’re flying into IAH (Bush), it’s about a $50 Uber one way down to the Med Center. You can Uber everywhere in town and it’s not that crazy. Houston’s big but Uber is pretty cheap. I’d probably get the car but it’s not an absolute necessity if you’re staying somewhere in “the loop.”

    I was going to bring up the zoning, but I thought it would be a nerdy thread jack. Now that someone brought it up, why isn't there zoning?

    Because FREEDOM.

    Really I have no idea. It leads to some pretty wild stuff, like a bar beside a house beside a church beside a strip club.

    Houston’s historically had a little “fuck it” Wild West energy and the City Government’s been owned by the money men. I assume that’s where it comes from.

    Fine I’ll be the one to ask…. You’re not the guy with the futures bet that will pay $400k if we win next week, are you? If so, you’re an absolute animal.

    That guy is in DFW, or at least flys out of DFW airport. I’d love to get an update on him if he’s still alive
