Football Time in Texas

August 28th, 2010 by Grover McMains

Yesterday was the first night of Texas high school football for the 2010-2011 season.  Unfortunately, Fort Worth doesn’t have a highly ranked high school team in any division.  However, around Fort Worth are a number of highly ranked teams including Euless, the state’s #1 ranked 5A team.  And the kickoff of high school football means that college and the pros are not far behind.  In fact, some of you diehard fans may have already been watching the pros in preseason games. 

And once you move to college and the pros, Fort Worth is right in the middle of great football.  Whether it’s the TCU Horned Frogs, pre-season #7 pick, or the Cowboys, The Texas White House is just minutes from either stadium.  Less than 30 minutes from the new Cowboy Stadium (insert 2011 Super Bowl!) and only about 5 minutes from TCU’s Amon Carter Stadium, if your wife will agree, you can stay here and take in two, top games in one weekend.  The best part is that while you’re at the game, your wife or girlfriend can be seeing the sights or shopping, both of which are also only 5 minutes away.  Sounds like a dream weekend for any football fanatic.

Why Fort Worth for the Super Bowl?

Super Bowl comes to Texas

If you’re planning to come to the Super Bowl, you have probably already wondered where you should stay, not so much which hotel (think bed and breakfast!) but which city.  There are some factors to consider to make your trip more enjoyable.  The Metroplex, the entire Dallas-Fort Worth area, is the largest area to ever host the game.  Fort Worth alone is larger than five cities which have hosted the Super Bowl.  The actual football game is in Arlington which is just about equidistant from Dallas and Fort Worth and equally accessible from both cities.  In terms of what the cities have to offer outside of the Super Bowl activities, Fort Worth is much more Texan, Dallas is much more cosmopolitan.  In fact, Fort Worth has been called “the most Texan city” in the state.  So, if you are wanting to get a flavor of the Lone Star State while you’re here, you should keep that in mind.  Lastly, Dallas will be host to the National Conference team, and Fort Worth will host the American Conference team.  I will be expanding on this last point in a future blog; so, stay tuned!

Super Bowl Planning for Fort Worth

Fort Worth and Super Bowl XLV

Only die-hard football fans are thinking about the sport at this time of year, but there is a lot of planning and work going on in Fort Worth right now for next year’s Super Bowl at Cowboy Stadium.  Here are some things to think about if you’re considering coming here for the Super Bowl.  There are close to thirty official NFL Sponsors, large corporations which use the Super Bowl week to entertain their largest clients.  No, you are not one of those, no matter how much beer you drink!  But you can take advantage of what’s going on because many of the parties and attractions put on by these NFL Sponsors are open to the public.  So, here’s a planning tip to think about: come to Fort Worth, stay close to the center of town, go to the parties and activities the Thursday, Friday and Saturday before the game.  Then head home Sunday in time to watch the Super Bowl on television (you’d be surprised how many Sponsor executives do exactly that!).  I’ll be posting additional information at least once a month about Super Bowl events, especially Fort Worth events, and how you might be a part of them.
