Arlington, TX: Tip Off Tailgate

This year we decided to go to the Final Four Tip Off Tailgate before the Championship Game. 

Only people with tickets to the championship game can go to it (the general public can go to the one before the Final Four games; we didn't go to that one). There were quite a few people! Kid Rock is somewhere in this picture.

We had dinner out here while watching a basketball shooting contest.

 
There was a cool reflecting pool and giant mirror on this side of the stadium.

This was pretty much the only time we had nice weather while in Texas, so it was nice to enjoy being outside for a little while before heading into the stadium for the championship game.
