The Holiday Inn Reliant Park still has some rooms left in the "Buffalo Bills" block at a special rate of $85. Please note - the cut off for this rate is NOVEMBER 3

Our big Sunday morning tailgate will be held in the Holiday Inn Parking lot at 8am You can easily walk to the game from there. If you're staying at that hotel, parking is free. Otherwise you'll need to find street parking.

I'll have grills, extra coolers of ice, Sahlens hot dogs, beer etc. Please bring some food and drinks to share or contribute $$.

Yes, Kenny and crew with the famous bowling ball will be there!

PM me with any questions.

I don't.  

When I go to Buffalo, I take an extra insulated bag - freeze the 5lb packs, wrap in newspaper and pack them in my luggage.  Then keep them in the freezer at home. I'll bring back two packs from the Packers game.

Where there's a will - there's a way...got the Webers mustard too!!

:P

Nice!  :)

I'm definitely going to be having a Sahlen's then, haha.

I don't really know the Houston area very well.  Is there a good place to go out around the hotel on Sat night like in San Antonio?

We're trying to put together a Saturday night get-together - more details later.
No, Houston is very large and very spread out. The area round the Medical Center and the Galleria is probably best for bar hopping. I'm getting info in slowly.

I am going to be getting there early Sunday morning...I look forward to meeting all of you...if "outsiders" are welcome, I would love to check out the tailgate!  I am sorry I didn't meet everyone when we played the Saints in San Antonio last year...

No such thing as an "outsider" - these plans are for ALL Bills Fans. See you there!

I was snooping the net and noticed that the Rice Owls are playing in Houston on Saturday 18 2006 @ 2:00 just down the road from our accoms. @ the Holiday Inn.

This could be a great warm-up for the night party!

Anyone interested in going?

I have never seen a US college football game live being a canuck.

Tickets are available.

Approx $25 reserved. $15 general

I will be in Houston starting on Wednesday.

My cell is 716 704 9120 (works starting wednesday)

Thanks,

Go Bills

Sounds like fun. I'm in. I've never seen an American college game either. Did you PM Lori and see if she'd like to go?
