We left Crossroads and went to Barrel something a block down the street. They became packed too but we were able to get dinner at 4:30. A burger was $17 so I got the NY strip for $29. It was pretty good.
There is public parking in the western side of the main parking lots. I think it would be A1-A4 and B1-B4. I believe B1 is probably reserved for media and staff. If there is an event at CY Stephens you may need to go further down.
I got one for Kansas several weeks ago but I have not received anything for Texas. I went through a car wash before we headed down. Maybe I should wait to do that next time. We live on a gravel road.
