Got reserved seats for both nights!

I'm local to Fort Worth, so I will do a little write up for those traveling this evening. In the meantime, if you’re booking hotels, Dickies is in the Cultural District, so a place downtown, in the Medical District, West 7th, Camp Bowie, southside/near southside, University/TCU, I-30 west of downtown are convenient.

Sec 120, womp womp...

Here are the key areas around Fort Worth that have various restaurants, bars, or things to do.

The Cultural District: Dickies Arena is located here, and you are within walking distance of all of the major museums. There is not too much in the way of bars and restaurants immediately near the arena — there's Taco Heads across the street and there is a Bull and the Bush about a five-minute walk away.

West 7th: a 25 to 30 minute walk from the arena; a lot of restaurant and bar options. The bars mostly cater to the college kids and twentysomethings, but there is good variety in the restaurant/food options.

Downtown: a 10 minute Uber ride from the arena (definitely longer in heavy traffic). Their Sundance Square, restaurants, some bars (the Flying Saucer is the major bar downtown), shops and a memorial or two. The Water Gardens is at the south edge of downtown. There is also a distillery, Acre Distillery.

South Main: one of the newer districts, probably a 15 to 20 minute cab ride from the arena. Lots of new restaurants and bars in this area. There is also a cool bottle shop worth checking out, called, Tricks of The Trade.

Magnolia/Near Southside: Magnolia is the main street with restaurants and bars. 15 to 20 minutes from the arena. Lots of different food options, and there's a cool cocktail bar called The Usual. Heim and Panther City barbecue are in this area. Low key and chill vibe

University/TCU: 5 to 15 minutes cab ride to the arena depending on where you are on University. Lots of shops and restaurants. The zoo is in this district, and if you keep going south, you'll drive through TCU.

The Stockyards: the old West part of town, 30 to 40 minutes from the arena. There are some restaurants and bars and various tourist attractions. Billy Bob's is in this area.

TX Distillery is east of downtown and on a golf course designed by Byron Nelson.

We have buses... But not too many routes have 10 minutes service.

Those are the big ones, and I can give restaurant suggestions if needed. The FW subreddit, r/fortworth, debates tacos, bbq, and burgers regularly.

We’re in. Section 103. It was either a side stage seat or the very top of the arena. We’ll be on Stone’s side. Ought to be interesting.

Thanks. Happy to have that over with.

[Strat]

I'm surprised there were any tickets to be purchased by today!

[dad]

damn...nice, wease. you're even closer than my seats, and i went through 10c.

[wease]

I don’t know how many rows are in the section but we’re in the 10th.

[dad]

starting to feel like Get Right or Cropduster...maybe even Help Help is more of a reality now.

[dad]

i could see them opening or playing Can't Keep for the seated songs.

[patrick]

It does feel like we'll get some choice Binaural or Riot Act cuts. They seem to be playing 2-4 a show.

[dad]

yep, it'll be pretty special if they do.

[wease]

Play Light Years (again) you pussies

[wease]

And Cropduster

[Bammer]

Ought to be interesting.

Good luck to those planning on attending. Hopefully the call is made tomorrow vs. day of.

[dad]
