And the rates are some of the highest in the country. The average rates charged by the counties put them as the 13th highest in the country. http://www.tax-rates.org/texas/property-tax As most people know Texas does not have an income tax. However, there are sales taxes, local taxes and user taxes such as toll roads. Texas has one of the highest rate of toll roads in the country. In the end you pay either directly or indirectly. There is no free ride. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lived in Florida for 18 years with no state income tax, but they get you every other way they can. Most of that is aimed at tourists in terms of gas taxes, bed taxes, non-homestead real estate taxes, etc. They do all they can to cater to those who can vote for them. SHOCKING! I know! .

Amarillo Bills Fan Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I bought tickets to the Dallas game the day the schedule was released. I'll never miss a game when the Bills come to Dallas. Our son lives in Dallas so we'll make it a family Thanksgiving instead of him coming up to Amarillo. I think Jerry's world is a terrible stadium. You'll end up watching the game on the huge 4 sided TV hanging over the field. I've been to Dallas, Denver, Jacksonville and Buffalo. Buffalo is the best of the bunch, Denver is 2nd in this limited sample. My wife, who's a native Texan, (and a Dallas Fan), prefers going to Buffalo, especially when it's snowing. That being said, it's a Bill's game, it will be a good time. Dallas fans are good folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Spent a month bumming around Dallas/Ft. Worth looking for work in late '78. Place was a nightmare driving around then. Doubt getting around is better now. ? Good luck with that parking spot. Give yourself plenty (couple hours) of time.

I was there for the 2011 Bills debacle and the action on the screen was going in the opposite direction from how I was watching it live from where I was sitting. Made it very confusing. I heard the stadium tour is really good though...may want to consider if you have the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 We just moved to Austin recently so I plan to take the family. My wife is from Dallas and the kids lean toward the Bills as their favorite team but like the Cowboys too. We’ll drive up as it’s not far and probably stay at a hotel around the stadium that night. I’ll be getting 4 seats- we may have a connection on good ones. I’ve got friends flying in for it too from CA where we just moved from. I’ve seen the stadium from the outside- it looks like a spaceship landed in the middle of nowhere. I hear it holds over 100k so excited to see inside. This game looks very winnable as of now. I’m looking forward to this big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crazy thing is, almost every year, there’s terrible storms (Winter) somewhere in the U.S. causing cancellations, delays and sleeping in airports for the holiday. Fun? WOW! But, Hey! Enjoy!!

Anyone been to Dallas stadium?? If so how is it? Also how is the tailgating? Do I have to have a parking pass or can you park in any pay lot?? Who all is going to Dallas corn Thanksgiving?? Went to the game last time with a season ticket holder of the Cowboys, so can only relate what we experienced with him. parking lots are in concentric rings around the stadium, closer to the stadium more expensive. We were 3rd ring out, and his coat was $80. Not sure if you could pay cash, but i would almost be 100% confident you need a pass to park. the tailgate was kinda subdued, but he said the 3.PM games were much more feisty. and i imagine the Thanksgiving day game is really crazy. Having said that, grilling is only allowed on the grass that surrounds each lot, so if you want to grill you have to get the spots on the outer edges of the lot. In other words, be there early!I would check with them directly to see if they have special rules for the Thanksgiving game in terms of lot opening times etc. We went way early to walk the stadium, visit the store etc..plan on doing that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners of your apartment you will be living in will raise the rent to accommodate the high local real estate tax. And by the way because the state doesn't want to be accused of raising gas taxes make sure your E-Z pass is working when driving on the ubiquitous toll roads. What you don't pay upfront you pay on the backside. You can run but you can't hide! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow1 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Wait for the Cowgirls to lose a few more then ticket prices will plummet. The Stadium is primo and if you get a chance go Saturday to the stadium and sign up for the tour. It's worth the trip alone and they send you a cool little certificate of tour proof.

I have been there. Actually it is the polar opposite of New Era. Frankly i hate it, it is too big, it is like you are walking into an massive airplane hangar, the crowd by the way sucks and you end up watching most of the game on the big screen. Stadium itself if very accessible, easy to get something to eat or drink, bathrooms no problem, a lot of wide open spaces. The gogo dances in the end zone are down right stupid. I hung out at bar, incredibly expensive drinks, that the players walked right by, you could grab out and touch them and other parts of the bar you can pretty much talk to players on the ends of the bench or that wonder over there. The tailgating is ok, they do have plenty of room to do it very spacious, not as compressed and intimate as anything in OP.

wiskibreth Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Those going might want to check this out... https://www.facebook.com/events/351006715564357/?active_tab=about There's no real "lot-wide" tailgating going on at Jerry's world, if you can even afford a parking space. You can only "tailgate" in certain spots where the parking spaces back up to the grassy areas around the perimeter of some lots. It really kind of blows for tailgate action you'd normally be accustomed to. The Stadium is massive and very impressive, but you'll watch the game looking up the whole time at the giant TV. You really can't help it, no matter how hard you try to force yourself to watch the field, you;ll be drawn back up to it in no time. more info here: http://www.dfwbillsbackers.org/thanksgiving-tailgate-info-tickets.html Edited October 10, 2019 by wiskibreth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
