And its convenient plan to completely shut down I-30 East by Loop 12 so it could do some striping. Absolute parking lot from Loop 12 to the Nokia Theatre.

Left at 4:45 and thought I would get there with plenty of time to eat at the Mustang Club and then go over to Ford. Arrived at 6:45. :evil:

I'd say TxDot takes SMU football into consideration perhaps, oh, NEVER.

Would you prefer they do it on a week day during rush hour traffic?

That must have been you beside me! We departed Fort Worth at 5:05 and made it into the parking garage at 7:05. No BBQ or cold adult beverages.
It set the tone for the rest of the evening.

left at 6:00, arrived at 7:30. Loved the the 3 lanes to 2 to 1 to 2 back to 3 back to 1 the wide open. Genius.

Our 6 year-old daughter was pissed we missed the start.

I'm constantly telling her that she needs to study hard and get smarter so she doesn't wind up a traffic engineer.
