Cedar Park would be great too.

Smirnoff in Dallas has been a place for some great Buffett show memories. Loved the DSTC show and even Tiki Time 2003 when I decided to NEVER do lawn again.

Agreed on the no lawn seat rule. Just talked to the wife and we are taking the money we would have spent parking our RV at Frisco and getting the best seats available.

I saw the date announced for Dallas on April 19. Does anyone know if this is the Welcome to Finland Tour that he did in 2011 or if it's the new tour? Will this be the only stop he makes in TX? Any word on Houston date?

Wish it was still at PHP! :(

Were you at Hoot Island 1???
If not, you missed a great tailgate.
It was one of Bill's finest :D
Hoot Island was our first tailgate..had a blast!..Frisco has been great/awesome but Hoot Island was my favorite!
Buffett, Beer & Brisket..

Starplex=Smirnoff=Gexa

Same place, just different names over the years.

I think we are waiting for Bill to start the thread since he coordinates everything.
I must be wishing on someone else's star....

What is the RV parking like at the State Fair park? I've never been there, so I have no idea of seating or parking, etc. Will I be able to bring a pop-up camper down and stay in the State Fair park?

Man. Disappoint. In any event, do we know if there's a presale? Can't find anything about it, if so.
