The Texas vs Oklahoma showdown is around the corner, and we all know what that means. Whether you’re traveling 200 miles from Austin or 200 miles from Norman, Dallas is the place to be for the Red River Rivalry! Here’s our guide to doing TX/OU Weekend the right way!
THE STAY
This one is for our out-of-towners! We know football games can be exhausting, and let’s face it – there’s nothing like sleeping in your own bed after a hard day of tailgating. Whether you’re looking to get killer views, experience urban history, searching for a good deal or just looking to be a little #extra, book-a-room to find a home away from home.
THE FUEL
The State Fair of Texas, happening just outside the Cotton Bowl, is the place to be when it comes to food, but just in case you start getting tired of all fried everything, we know of a few on-point places that will not disappoint. From smoked-to-perfection Texas BBQ to southern inspired dishes with a modern flare, everything really is better in Texas. Check out these Texas beauties on our editor’s list of Best Dallas Restaurants.
THE HANGOUTS
Just in case the State Fair of Texas is not enough, here are some cool things to do while you’re in the city. Relax, sip, and enjoy a night out at one of the Best Dallas Bars. Take part of Dallas’ brunching culture and savor the most important meal of the week at one of the Hottest Dallas Brunch Spots. If you’re feelin’ fall, check out the Dallas Arboretum for THE perfect pumpkin selfie.
THE SHOPPING
Did you really go to Dallas if you didn’t go shopping? Straight from the bible of Texas shopping, the Best Stores in Dallas are a must-visit while you’re in town. If you happen to have a little extra time on your hands, take a look at this year’s Dallas Shopping Guide.
