If you don't have to be really close to the games, this place is really cool to stay at.

Stockyards Hotel

Thanks for the welcome, I'm glad I finally did instead of reading over the hubby's shoulder.

And don't worry I definitely won't be wearing anything even remotely as warm as a turtleneck!

It looks like my family and I will be out on saturday morning to try and beat the heat some. I look forward to seeing y'all out there.

In one of those small rooms? That's where I remember them to be.

Jerry McIntyre, whom I'm assisting in the clan gathering area, told me that the opening ceremonies (parade & announcements) are now held on Friday evening rather than on Saturday around noon because of the prostrating heat. Is this new?

I believe this is how it was last year as well.

Yes, in one of the small rooms. Can't remember which, as there are several. Sure beats the heat though. KOBB should be right outside the bleachers as well.

I'll be there on Saturday with my son. Gonna try to talk the wife into going if she's not on call that weekend. Hopefully someone will be staffing the Cunningham tent this year.
