It really isn't a bad drive if you split into 2 days. Last year got going at 4:30am on new years (wed morning) made it to Topeka while still light 2-3 pm and was a easy 6-7 hour drive the next day. Had a 8 month old and 5 year old. Coming back was a bit of a drag as we got a late start and stopped to see brother north of OKC. Luckily for us that sorta cleared up some road conditions.

This is the way to go. Driving to Omaha on Wednesday after work. Rest of the way on Thursday. Similar plans here. Driving to Lincoln, NE on Wed night and staying at my daughters home. Plan to head to Frisco between 7 and 8 AM Thursday morning (about an 8 hour drive). Will be staying at Marriott Courtyard in Plano (Plano Parkway). Will check out the Brickhouse, Wild Pitch and other locations on Thursday night.

Just picked up my tickets from NDSU.

Flying down on the Delta non-stop Friday morning with Mrs. GOB1SON. Will be at Wild Pitch by 1 Friday. I have tickets but probably won't go to the PepFest. Staying at the Marriott Legacy. Tailgate and game on Saturday, followed by reservations at Capital Grill Saturday night. Big slab of rare beef, some good scotch and a cuban to round out the night. Out of DFW on the Delta 11:00. Back in Fargo by 1:30, pick up the kids and I'm down for a nap by 2:30.

All in all looking to be a pretty darn nice weekend.

Missed that Delta had added a direct flight like past years......thanks for sharing that.

Yeah, that is hard to beat. No connections to miss. We get to sleep in a little on Sunday and if on time, I am home early on Sunday. And price was in the high 6's (I am not a travel hacker, just a collector of miles) which was half of what they were right after the Sam Houston game.

Flying out of MSP Thursday early afternoon for about $400, bought after the CCU game with change insurance just in case of SHSU game mishap. Could always use air tickets to go somewhere warm the rest of winter. So paid $100 extra but saved over $200 by booking early. Be home supper time on Sunday

I just took at look, and they are asking 60K RT for use of miles on this. Prices are very close to $700 as you said, so cpm is about 1.2. I'd recommend folks use any fixed value "miles" that are worth more then a penny each (UR, TY points with Premier, Wells Fargo points) due to this as you can get more than 1.2 for Skypesos plus you still earn Skypesos. But, if your only option, I'd do it.

This year we will stop for onion burgers at Tuckers and then most likely continue down the road till later in the evening.

Oh didn't see any road side cameras in Sioux City but there is a large over the road sign that had a camera mounted on the sign support not sure if it is a webcam for weather traffic flow purposes or the speed cam...
