Anyone coming to Austin on Oct. 15 for likely the last Cy @ Bevo matchup?

... if so, the Austin alumni club is hosting another all-day BBQ tailgate party like they have done past years when Cyclone FB is in town:

https://www.austincyclones.com/2022tailgate

All the fresh-smoked BBQ and booze you can eat/drink on a private fenced-off lot just a few blocks from DKR stadium. They will also have satellite TVs showing other games all day. Possible more entertainment added depending on how well sales go. Also note on that website a link there where you can also buy game tickets thru the DFW alumni club to sit among other ISU folks and not be surrounded by Burnt Orange.

If you have been to these Austin-hosted tailgates in the past, note this (likely final) year they moved to a bigger lot a couple blocks east of the old one. The lot still doesn't actually include parking. But given how tough it is to tailgate around a big downtown metro campus, this is honestly your best (and really, only) bet for ISU fans. No need to drag a cooler or grill since they take care of you for a fairly reasonable price. @ChrisMWilliams has been there, he can vouch

There is also a Friday night pre-game party downtown on Sixth Street at that same Blind Pig Pub as last time in 2018 and 2020. Will be some bands up on their huge covered patio roof:

I’m tempted. The girlfriend and I have always wanted to visit Austin, but we’re saving up for a new house and have a trip to New Zealand in November. We were close to booking our flights for this game but backed out. This sounds insanely tempting though…

Trying to coordinate a work trip around it. The above info is really appreciated.

I'll be there, but I bought tickets through the DFW Cyclone club. I assume that is a different tailgate event.

Just bought two for our first ever trip to Austin with my son. Can't wait!

The tailgate tickets through the DFW Club are for the tailgate organized by the Austin club. There is only one tailgate.

Incredibly tempted, Austin's a perfect weekend trip distance from Houston. Gotta see if I can fit it in with the rest of my fall travel.

I really want to make this work. I'll try to figure it out this week. Thanks to all of the Cyclone diaspora making stuff like this happen.

It’s warm there, park benches aren’t bad with a blanket.

If I weren't already going to my in-laws condo in Minnesota that weekend, I'd make the trip to knock out seeing ISU and Austin City Limits in the same trip.

Hotels are also nearly double the usual rate that weekend and becoming scarce. I would strongly suggest booking rooms ASAP if any of you haven't already and are thinking about going.
