    Aer Lingus Classic items. Tickets, planning, etc.

    I appreciate the tips! We're staying in a B&B thats a 5 minute walk from both McGann's and McDermott's and definitely picked the area for the music and food scene. We are definitely doing a day drive through the Burren. We get into Dublin early in the morning and plan to do that on a scenic...

    Aer Lingus Classic items. Tickets, planning, etc.

    Nice, we also are flying Iceland Air out of MSP (I live in the twin cities). Kind of nice to break up the flight and let the family acclimate a little (traveling with a 9 year old and my 71 year old mom) before we hit the ground running in Ireland. Renting a cabin on the coast of the Keflavik...

    UK ETA is good for 2 years, so you could technically visit multiple times within that period on the same ETA. Your ETA for England will also be valid for Belfast (NI). I'll probably get one out of an abundance of caution since I'm also visiting Belfast as part of our trip to Ireland, but it's...

    I had the same concern, but we’re a big group and I don’t think we’d get to sit together any other way. Was nice that we could actually pick tickets rather than roll the dice and get stuck buying whatever the AD gives you (for a hyper inflated price) like for past games.

    Someone in our group was able to buy on Friday. They got 20 tickets. Don’t think there is a limit.

    Reading through the FSU Reddit threads from last year it seems like there’s some local European restrictions that make resell more complicated. Game was technically a sell out.

    *** Official #25 Baylor vs #3 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Is there any video of the half time presentation for the 00/01 teams? We just got a brief soundless video clip on the live broadcast. Would love to hear the big ovation LE got.

    A Complete Unknown

    That is far from the biggest historical inaccuracy in the script. Mangold did a lot of lumping and re-organizing of historical events to make the script work (based on "Dylan Goes Electric!" account of that time period by Elijah Wald). Elle Fanning's entire character was a mixture of actual...

    That’s not a terrible deal, as long as you plan to make them regret offering Cyclone fans an open bar! Can’t see spending that amount for my kid’s ticket when all he’s gonna do is drink pop and eat chips.

    How long ago did you book that up? I saw almost nothing on VRBO when I was looking to book something back in November. Unless a huge amount of inventory opens up after the new year, which is possible if hotels/rentals are holding things back to see what demand looks like, I feel for Cyclone...

    As someone who just paid ISU $200 to sit in the corner end zone for the CCG, I endorse this message. Won't make that mistake again!

    I'm in the same boat, not buying a package and buying tickets alone. FWIW, after the ISU/KSU matchup was announced in late April, I went onto the official Aer Lingus Classic site and there were still direct tickets available for the FSU/GT game at that time. I'm more concerned about the lack...

    Lord of the Rings Universe Thread

    One other thing I think is important to note is that it's a hand-drawn 2D japanese anime style. So don't go expecting modern Disney-level 3D animation. It's a different style which can be halting at times, but also has some pretty spectacular sequences if you're a fan of that medium.

    Lord of the Rings Universe Thread

    I saw it on Friday night, was pretty sparse attendance for an opening weekend so I'm not surprised that it only raked in $4.6mil. I think your take is spot on. As a LOTR fan who went back and re-read the Appendix section this is based on to prepare, I liked it. Stuck to the source material...

    Big 12 Championship Roll Call

    We're likely doing the Texas Live! pregame at 8am (https://texas-live.com/events/2024-11-24-big-game-bash) since we don't have a vehicle down there for tailgating. Anyone got any experience pre-gaming there? Is it similar vibe to P&L in KC? Any particular bar that stands out?
