Congrats to SJF on your playoff sucess. Good win today over Hobart.
To everyone making the trip to the Lone Star State from New York, enjoy your time in Central Texas. Lots of good Texas BBQ everywhere; Schoepf's BBQ in Belton is pretty good eatin', but don't fill up on it. The CRUthedral has some special food items that are only available at the stadium.
I recommend trying a Cru-dog. It is a hotdog shaped hamburger (best way to describe it) served on a Hawaiian bun topped by cheese. Good stuff. You might want to try the Slovacek Sausage as well. Blue Bell Ice Cream makes a special purple colored homemade vanilla ice cream exclusively for UMHB. Pretty tasty stuff. However, it looks the temp might be a little too chilly for ice cream.
Not a lot of hotel choices in Belton. Killeen has quite a few and Temple has added some in the past few years. Killeen is about a 20/30 minute drive to the stadium, Temple 10/15. Salado is just 10 minutes south of Belton and has a couple of newer hotels - a Best Western and a Holiday Inn Express. Salado is well known for its arts and antique stores. My in-laws live there.
It seems most people fly into Austin, which is about an hour due south of Belton. Lots of hotel, eating and entertainment choices in the capital city
The weather looks to be less than ideal weather for SJF's visit to The CRUthedral. The extended forecast is calling for temps to be upper 40s with a 30% chance of showers. A little on the cool side for we Texans.
Safe and uneventful travels to all.
Thanks for all of the food choices. This is the second best thing about traveling to Texas for Football.
