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.
