Same here, Arlington usually puts on a good show. I will have to get Boggs and Rice.

Last show was a lot of fun, had a lot of former Longhorns signing at their last show

What do you know, this year's Arlington show lands right on my 5th wedding anniversary. The wife has already agreed that I can go as long as I take her to a "really nice hotel" while we're out there that weekend. I took my brother's last year and we stayed at the Wyndham Arlington, which was nice and extremely close to the convention center and stadium, but she's talking about some Gaylord place in Dallas, anyone know of it?

It's in grapevine, brand new hotel. I haven't stayed there but had a friend who stayed with his wife for their honeymoon, very nice place from what he told me.

They should add some current players closer to the date right? Didn't they have a bunch of the minor leaguers for free last year? Or am I thinking of a different event?

I went to this one last year and they had quite a few current players there. Several of the Rangers signed for free including Thomas Diamond, Kevin Mench, and Chris Young. Also, Huston Street was signing for free. They'll continue adding players as the date gets closer.

As I stated ina previous post, I will be going with the family. I will be better prepared this year, probably buy the VIP package. Depending how hot it is I might take the family and go see the Rangers.

Just tried to book a room at the Wyndham Arlington, they're already full. Seems that there is a ShowBiz National convention going on at the same time as the Tri-Star show and they blocked a ton of rooms for it. So, I tried to get one of the blocked rooms for that and all of them have been taken! The lady also said that the Twins have blocked quite a few rooms. I hate it too because the Wyndham is so close to the convention center and the Ballpark. We ended up getting on the waiting list there and went ahead and booked two nights at the Hilton 5 min. away.

Shawn, I think I'll go for the VIP package this year as well, depending on what's offered. We're going to plan on going to the ballgame Sat. night.

Last year we stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott on Nolan Ryan Expressway.
