Iowa State @ Houston BBQ Tailgate
The ISU alumni clubs of Austin, Dallas-Ft. Worth and Houston will be hosting a FREE pregame tailgate party for fellow Cyclone fans in town. The location was just decided to be at Lot 3 & 4 on the SE side of campus with free shuttle option to stadium. Due to U.

And if you're still looking for a game ticket and want to comfortably sit among about 400 Cyclone fans, the DFW Club has bought a block that large and reselling those thru the same site we're selling the BBQ for just $40 down in the lower stadium tier. These are mobile only tickets that can be transferred. Sales end this Thurs 9p:

We have gone to three or four events hosted by the Dallas Cyclone Club, great people to be around, never had a problem dealing with them or other cyclone clubs in Texas.

Got my game & bbq tix last week! Should be a good turnout of cardinal and gold. Also will have lower humidity by then so weather will be good especially once the sun goes down.

We cannot make it down and I have 2 tickets from Ia State in section 224 row 3 that I will sell for 30 each. That's half price. Give me a shout out.

A big Iowa State Thank You to all the bad ass volunteers for putting this all together for the first game in Houston!!

I’ve helped a little before in ATX before moving to FLA, and wish I could help / lend a hand in getting this inaugural Houston tailgate kicked off as it’s quite a lot of work before, during, and after.

Much Respect to all the alumni groups collaborating over there on this!
