DFW is home to alumni from every major Texas school. Here is where to find your people on Saturdays.
Texas Longhorns:
- The Rustic (Uptown, Dallas) — Official Texas Exes DFW watch party location. Gets packed for big games. Burnt orange everywhere.
- Katy Trail Ice House — Overflow spot when The Rustic fills up.
Texas A&M Aggies:
- The Nodding Donkey (SMU area) — DFW A&M Club watch parties. War Hymn after every score.
- Ojos Locos (Arlington) — Popular for A&M fans in the mid-cities area.
TCU Horned Frogs:
- The Bearded Lady (Fort Worth) — Near campus, the authentic TCU game day experience without going to Amon G. Carter.
- Many TCU fans are just 30 minutes from campus and attend games in person.
Baylor Bears:
- The Old Monk (Lower Greenville) — DFW Baylor alumni group meets here.
Texas Tech Red Raiders:
- Katy Trail Ice House — DFW Saddle Tramps and Red Raider Club host events here.
- Happiest Hour — Popular for the younger Tech alumni crowd.
SMU Mustangs:
- Ford Stadium — 5 miles from downtown Dallas. Just go to the game. Parking is free for most non-conference games.
Oklahoma (for the transplants):
- Truck Yard (Lower Greenville) — Surprisingly large OU contingent.

Nodding Donkey for A&M games is legit. Full Corps yells, War Hymn swaying, and Midnight Yell practice streaming on the TVs the night before. Aggies do not play around.
