This is my dilemma. I actually have 2 sets of tickets for this concert and will be giving one of the sets to my brother and his girlfriend. But I have no idea which to give him!

One set is on the lawn. I figure I will get more of the true Buffett experience there. The other set is in section 202, pretty far back. But still, expensive reserved seats.

WWJBD?
depends on how old you are, and how well you tolerate being bumped, jostled, and spilled on. Personally, since I am almost ancient, I'd take the pavillion seats. you can always talk with the folks around you between songs, and you might be surprised who you meet.
He is right it all depends on your prespective, as for us we would never be anywhere else but the lawn seats, (spread you blanket, relax and take it all in) to us it is more like a good old fashioned concert when they had them in a field v. a regular concert. Cant' recall being bumped or spilled on but truly laid back and relax and enjoying the music of the islands
You've never been to Alpine...
Have you been to Dallas?
Have not. the lawn experience of "just putting a blanket down and enjoying the show" has not been part of the equation at Alpine or Cinci. (the indoor shows obviously don't count).

Not saying that Dallas doesn't have the mellow vibe, but the lawn has been a zoo everywhere I've been.

You hit the nail right on the head...

Do you know where I could go to get one that would enable me to highlight the "trail to the tailgate?"

That map came from Street Atlas on my PC.
You might try Rand McNally if you don't like Mapquest.

How many other people out there are staying at the Fairfield Inn and Suites??? We are hoping to check in early...if not, we will just drive in directly to the concert and get ready in the truck!!!!

maps.google.com

is a really good map. it has satalite shots along with the roads, its the map i use all the time

Thank you all very much!!! I just have this vision of being in Dallas, checking into the hotel, and DYING to get to the parking lot...then getting lost and being really late!!!! I am so flipp'n ready for this event...I even dreamed about it last night! I had a dream that "Hoot Island" was totally formal, everyone was dressed up, sitting around being very quiet and there were no "tailgating decorations!" When it came time for the concert, I fell asleep on the lawn and missed the entire thing!!! Weird!

Yeah, and I think you should stay on Robert Collum until you get to Fitzhugh and take a left and drive all the way down to the 3rd entrance at the end of the fence to get to Hoot Island.

Fair Park is very easy to find. You won't have any trouble since it is right off I-30.

OK, so now y'all have gotten me all confused! Lemme give you some more info --

I'm in my late 30's, don't mind getting beer spilled on me, have no problem standing through the entire concert and definitely don't want to sit through the whole thing either. I hope to spend a good part of the afternoon partying and people-watching in the parking lot but not positive if that's possible due to some scheduling problems.

Off topic, but wow! Did that last sentence have a lot of P's in it, or what?

So which shall it be, lawn or reserved?

Go with reserved. It's where you'll find other alliterative people.

Put perfect posterior in planned position=reserved

You know what? You sound like you are open to just about anything.

Why don't you meet up with the other people and trade part of the way if that is an option. For the difference in the price you could just average it out. That way you can all experience both.
