Game Day Guide is not just for Game Day, but for every day. It is the perfect traveling companion for: Fans! Alumni, students, faculty and staff of any Big 12 university; parents of students enrolled in any Big 12 university; families looking for fun, inexpensive weekend getaway destinations; anyone who wants to explore a great college town; parents and high school kids planning campus visits. It is the perfect gift for all of the above. Game Day Guide does not include national chain restaurants, clubs or shopping. Every entry (other than hotels) is locally or family owned, and most have never been included in any guide. With over 330 restaurants, 240 shops and 150 bars and music venues, Game Day Guide gives readers all they need to make a road trip really memorable. Rather than rank using 'stars,' Kraus provides sufficient data so that readers can make their own informed choices. While Austin and Boulder are established vacation destinations, the other ten cities have never been previously covered in this depth.
