What is this "rental" that you speak of?

Last time I reserved a rental car online I was quoted one price and when I got to the airport to pick up the car they added on a bunch of fees and taxes. Not sure if I will rent a car in Dallas but if I decide to I am going to wait until we get there and try and negotiate a better price.

Also don't forget that if you're a member of the Alumni Association you can get a discount with 3-4 of the biggest rental companies.
And if you work for the U, the discount you can get via the Big Ten rate with National is usually pretty sweet.

September 1st cannot get here soon enough. Been way too long since I've them live, and Cowboys stadium is seriously unbelievable (would rather watch at the Big House obvs).

Parking for Jerryworld is more expensive than any other venue I've ever been to. Expect to pay anywhere from $60-$100 per car. It's quite brutal there unfortunately.

Not if you paid early for a parking pass at the stadium. Its 40 bucks, which is just as expensive as tailgating at the golf course.We are in lot 11, right next to the stadium.

Yeah that was a good move on your part. I'm not going to the game, just offering the info to the people who have not paid early for the stadium parking pass. Sounds like you got a great location though, should be a blast. I'm interested in what the crown split will be between fans, I'd probably guess 60/40 in favor of the good guys but I don't really know how well 'bama fans travel.

Pshhhhhh.....mgoblogger only stay at fine establishments like Motel 6, and Country Inn.

You may need to be more specific. I suspect there is more than one Red Roof Inn in Dallas.

I think my hotel is like 2 miles away... Therefore I will be taking the 40ish minute walk to the stadium...

Knights Inn Arlington baby! HIGH QUALITY!

Had a room booked at the Knights Inn but someone on this blog told me that that is a very sketchy motel and to not stay there. I got scarred and bailed and now have a room at the Candlewood suites, which had much better reviews.

Yeah I didnt care at first but then I decided that I want to be comfortable and keep the wife happy. It's going to be a mini vacation for us. First time away from our 2 year old. If I was going with the boys I wouldn't care where we stayed.

Homestead in Arlington, right by the Cracker Barrel!
August 19th, 2012 at 7:08 PM ^
We are staying at the CandleWood Inn Suites. I am thinking my wife and I will just walk to the game. But, if anyone is staying near us we would pay for a ride to and from the game.
