as you can see from my title name I am a Jags fan but my girlfriend is a huge Dallas fan. We're from Maine she has never seen her team play in person so I decided to buy tickets for her this year and fly her out to the game... I thought it would be cool too have her go to a divisional prime time game so I picked week 2 against the Giants... I have never been to Dallas or Arlington before so I joined to pick people's brains on what I should expect or do while I'm in the area... I decided to stay a week so we can see the area...so I guess I'm asking anything I should see or do In the area...

Can't help You with Your question (obviously), but I echo the sentiment from Jobberone, what a great treat for Your GF.
Stick around, this is a fun place, there's good football talk on the forums and silly humour in the members and off-topic zones, as long as You're up-front with Your support for another team (which with Your Username is a given), the Folks here are tolerant of other teams fans and enjoy interacting with them.
Since the Owners/Admins are also active participants, it's also extremely well maintained and administered.

I haven't lived in the area in 10 years so I don't know what's changed.... but coming from Maine, you should expect it be hot.... and since its September you should be able to get some tickets to Texas Ranger games pretty cheap. :D

Once the people that live in the area see this, they'll chime in. They've been great about helping people that come to the area. Week 2 against the Giants is going to be H O T. There is so much to see in the area. I had a friend take me to an area in Fort Worth that had amazing Mexican food. I can't remember the name of it. A specific area with "The" and then one or two Western themed words like Cattle Drive or something. I know I'm no help, but maybe someone knows that can clarify for me. This is going to be an amazing treat for her. For her sake, I hope it's a good game. For my sake, I hope the Cowboys humiliate the Giants.

Thanks a ton coming from Maine the nice weather will be a little extension to our short summer... I don't mind Dallas seeming that they are an NFC team and don't really affect my team... as far as Giants go I really hope they lose also don't really care for them or the fan base... been too many Jags Giants games and fans are dirt balls very rude... they will yell throw stuff follow you right out to your car yelling obscenities and you can have a worse record than them at the time they're just rude.... where Jets fans will shake your hand after the game and tell you to keep wearing your team colors.... so in that aspect go Dallas LOL

First suggestion, don't buy lobster or any seafood for that matter because it's stupid expensive and don't expect to be jamming a hollow rod into a tree and get syrup and do expect to have a sharp intake of breath when you come off onto that jet way. Don't ask the flight attendant if air traffic control diverted the flight to hell, you are in Dallas. Keep telling each other "it's not the heat; it's the humidity". We do this a lot and I am not sure what that does as it doesn't make it more bearable. However, with the winter and spring you guys have endured, it might not matter.

A cool place to hang late in the day is downtown Ft. Worth, more town than city, around Sundance Square, good restaurants and watering holes. If you go to Dallas, city of pride, just ask them, the best place they have going is the World Aquarium where you can beat the heat inside and if you choose, swim with the penguins. Then, the Dallas Police may choose to let you surf with the inmates so I would pass on that. Be sure and take a selfie with the sloth, post it and ask people to identify which one is you.

First time we went there, they were feeding the sloth and they chew as slow as they move and my wife sat there holding a piece of sugar cane while he munched on it in slow, or I guess it would be sloth motion. She fell in love with it and wanted one and I said absolutely not. Think I want something hanging around the house making me look slower?

Back in the day, folks came to DFW for a variety of reasons, women came for one...to shop. At one time we all had our own malls, I called mine CouchCoach's Calico Corners because alliteration makes me horny. The malls are still impressive, particularly The Galleria, and you may have to do that manly thing and walk around with your girlfriend all the while turning ever so nonchalantly to check out some extra fine derrieres and if you get caught just say "hey, that girl looked just like your cousin Jenny, were they coming to Dallas"? It doesn't work but at least you are not penalized points for lack of effort. And I would suggest this in the am if you're planning on a little "afternoon delight". Helps to let the anger pass.

Well Jagsy, hope CC's Travelogue has aided in your plans and don't forget to visit my sponsors and tell'em ole CC sent ya.

Six Flags is close to the stadium if you like amusement parks. Grand Prairie has opened a place called Epic Waters a really cool indoors water park. Wear sunscreen at the motel pool and during outdoors activity 1 day in the sun here can screw the whole week up . Lots of good food in the area.There are a few threads here that suggest places to eat. There is no g after words endin with ing example cooking is cookin smiling is smilin
