Pros: - Food trucks - 2 for $10 wine served in collectible plastic wine glasses - indoor bathrooms in the AA Center - as a female I avoid porta-potties - AA center open for people to sit down & watch the performers on the big screen *great way to warm up & get away from the crowds for a bit* - live performers - fireworks lasted a long time & were so close - I've been to SF for NYE & I have to say Dallas, you win hands down on you're NYE fireworks display! Con: I agree with H.T.'s review that it was horrible that event organizers changed rules last minute. The website said backpacks were allowed, but were refusing to let my BF inside. Security said they received a paper the day of the event with rules changes for what people are allowed to bring. Security said his backpack was large and wasn't allowed in! Huh?!? It's a regular sized backpack? Mini backpacks went out in the 90s!! We took the TRE train and didn't have a car to place my BF's backpack anywhere. Finally convinced them to let us inside due to the unfair changing of rules hours before the event! **Hey organizers if you're going to change the rules, do so days in advance, not hours before the event!** TIP - Take public transportation! There's so many people that if you drive you'll need to rush out as the fireworks start or risk getting stuck in traffic.

It seemed like twice as many people this year than in 2010. Some of the pet peeves I had include: -Open mouth sneezers and coughers, which were plenty this day. -Food trucks were not very creative and missing some of their best options. -It may just be me, but once the fireworks show started, people wanted to get out as quickly as possible. I had to keep looking away to avoid people from running into me as I stared up in the sky. 10 minutes, that is all I ask. You aren't getting out of there anyway with all the traffic in the first place, so enjoy the show. -Too many people brought their babies in strollers. It's called sacrifice until they are old enough. Either way, I will be back for the food trucks next year, the music, and then I will walk home and watch the show on t.v.

What a great stadium to take in a college game! The design is in a horseshoe, one that while still…read morenoticeable was one that was a little more pronounced before they built the end zone complex. I know it sounds trite, but there is not really a bad seat in the house. While I used to have season tickets and sat in the same place, I gave them up a few years back and now buy game to packages in different areas. I say that to emphasize, the seats are really good wherever you sit. The stadium also has several amenities making it a great place. One notable one is that there is ample bathrooms for the crowds, thus you almost never see a line to get into them. There are several food and beverage concession areas too. This is one area they could improve...while they get people in and out quickly, the sodas from them are often watered down, the pretzels and popcorn etc sit out just a little too long, and the prices just a little too high. I paid $7 for a bottled water. There really is a huge opportunity for SMU to do better by their fans in this area. They have tried a little by having Mi Cocina run one of the stands and that is a marked improvement. Now they need to step up elsewhere! Review #2129

I also appreciate SMU for allowing their football stadium to be used for the first responders' bowl. Ok, now, for the opportunities, there was not nearly enough parking for everyone to park near the stadium. Additional parking was not clearly identified, so we had to keep asking people who worked there or who went to school about where we could park. We finally found a parking garage that was about 10 minutes away from the stadium walking. Once we got to the stadium. We went to 3 different gates before we got to the right gate. It would have been nice if the gates had been more clearly marked, but the staff was very helpful about getting us to the right gate eventually. Finally, I guess they did not consider how much alcohol college students drink, especially at Texas State and Rice because most of the alcohol besides beer was sold out by halftime, so that was a little disappointing. Again, overall, I had a blast, and I would definitely go to another game. But I have learned a lot of lessons for next time.

Well what is there to say about Mustang Panther Stadium. As I'm the first to review I'll give the…read moregeneral basics. This stadium is owned by GCISD school district and the home stadium for CHHS & GHS high schools respectively. They host Thursday & friday night football games here, as well I think they use it for high school soccer during the spring. They may also use the track for track & field events but I don't recall ever hearing or going to those events. I've heard they will also hold dare program type things there for the younger schools in the district. When you go in expect a decent trek up hill to get to the stands, it can be kind of painful for those with health issues but it will give you a little bit of a work out to work off one or two of those nachos your going to get! They don't have a covered doam, so expect to dress for weather! If your attending a friday night football game there, parking is going to be a pain. You can't find parking in stadiums parking after a certain point. So if you want to park there I suggest getting their really early for the times they have tailgate type events which they usually have before every game. That or bring your own tailgate foods & non-alcoholic drinks to enjoy until they open the gates to come in. I normally suggest going ahead and parking at GHS high school which is walking distance. If you don't want to walk it they run school buses from that parking lot to the stadium gates, which my daughter loves to do so it's worth it to park further, and you get valet drop off at the gate so with small kids it rocks. Concessions are your usually basics ... soda, candy, nachos ... usually they will have at least one School district sponsors food option there like chick fil a or papa johns there as well to sell sandwiches or slices of pizza. Like where CFA will sell or donate them 500 sandwiches at a reduced amount to sell for "full" price at the stands to raise $. Concessions are usually run by one of the schools band booster parents so proceeds go to support the band programs. The field used to be grass but they upgraded to AstroTurf a couple years after I graduated high school, so I think around 2006-2007. Overall not a bad stadium, but it has been there for a long time so there is always room for improvement, but you can tell the district does what it can when it has the funds to do so.

The first time, our GPS said we were 1.4 miles from the entrance... that's how FAR back the line stretched not counting the winding roads after the entrance gate. Traffic management is nonexistent past the gate: no cones, no staff, just cars blocking intersections and nearly colliding in the dark. By the time you finally make it inside, you're shoulder-to-shoulder in a packed crowd, too stressed to enjoy the lights. Save your money and sanity. Go to a haunted house instead. At least the fear and stress there is intentional and a shorter wait time. I won't make the mistake of coming back ever in the future.
