My third winter here full time and probably 50x before I started doing doing the winter thing. It is as spread out as you've heard..

I will post some local info as to eats, bars, sights.

Who is coming when? Who is staying where? Please feel free to reply or PM me.

You won't find this in lower Fairfield County; but my complex has great pool, jacuzzi, 4 grills, bar station, 2 fridges, comfy lounge chairs, Flat screen TV, big green space for frisbee, whiffle ball, vomiting, etc. All outdoors.

Clubhouse with pool table, 4 TVs, mini kitchen and even pretty nice gym.

What I am getting at ..... place is built for celebrations and I am completely up for a Saturday earlier BBQ or Sunday as long as we might want. Had to be last minute, obviously.

I am a walkable 3 miles from NRG, 1/2 block to the bus that takes you straight there. Uber, Lyft etc. Free guest covered parking for the car renters. If we can pull this off, if a small or large bunch is interested, Just bring yourselves, swimsuits etc. If you are staying in a 5 mile radius of NRG, it is an easy go. Bring hard booze if you like. I got the sacreds and good old school burgers, HOT dogs, chicken and regular BBQ snacks and sides.

Tom, fishy, deepster; you organized BY challenges, meet ups at the old Coach's in Hartford etc. . Any tips on last minute organizing, please. I accept help. If I'm nuts, haha, tell me. Or if I am competing with "authorized" events. Oh yeah, going to BOTH games.

Under 30 guys making the trip.... my young, female neighbors are young and female and there are lots of them.

OK. Fire away.

PS> The Hyatts, Ritz Carltons of the world are aplenty and mostly center city. Knock yourselves out. Many very solid options are downtown and immediate surrounding areas downtown.

OK. I am out of typing breath.

Go Huskies!!!!

This sounds awesome, I would definitely be in. My dad and I are arriving Friday night, we’re staying a little ways from the action at the Fairfield inn and suites…just kinda picked it at random and figured we’d find our way downtown. First final four and first time to Houston, so would absolutely love to meet up with a UConn crowd pregame!

Very generous offer. Hope people take you up on it and everyone has a wonderful event.

First time I’ve ever seen a featured listing that includes outdoor vomiting in it. Sounds like your place is rocking.

That is the way!

I'll be staying at a friend's place in River Oaks. I don't think I'm too far from you or NRG.

He says it's super-easy to get around via Uber, but I wouldn't mind walking places either.

Hopefully I can join you all!

Fantastic! I've been more focused on the rail but will look into the buses as well.

Thanks!
