Well, I just got confirmation my vacation request was approved!!!! I can go to the game!!! I just need to find and pay for my flight. According to kayak, cheapest one is 377 round trip. Anyone have recommendations on where to stay? I really can't wait I need to pull the trigger. Dang I wish I could have known back when their were $200 flights...

Hey Yo, I just looked at Spirit.  $225 roundtrip from CAK to DFW.  outbound is a direct.  I started taking Spirit to CAK when Allegiant dropped service to YNG from SWFL. Spirit is an a la carte airline that'll nickle and dime you if u allow it, but if u r frugal u can save big.

Nation, that is perfect because I live in Akron anyway due to my job. I don't know why I didn't see that? I've flown spirit before, and I dont have a negative opinion of them. What flight number and what is the departure and return date? Thanks for the heads up.

Hmm... I found that same stuff but when I go through the whole thing to book that exact set on spirit it gives me a total of $501.18 with tax. I found cheaper on kayak. The price they are showing is each flight. So the first flight is like 225 and the second flight (return flight) is about the same price. Add taxes and fees and the price for the total spirit flight is 501... dang. I appreciate the help though Nation. I was really hoping that they did have it as described, would have loved 225 round trip price...

my bad.  I was reading the the price for each way.  I'm surprised its so high.  I flew from FL to CAK three weeks ago for less than 100.  Good luck.

Flights were cheap until the people with corporate sponsors tickets booked all of the flights.

Thanks to everyone trying to help me. As an update, I am going with a party of three (including myself) to frisco! Flights are booked now. My work gave me Friday and Saturday off, but I actually work Sunday night still, so I had to come back Sunday. My flight was $410 round trip out of Canton Akron. Leaves thursday night at 8pm but has one stop with a 36 minute layover. Arriving in Dallas on Friday at 12 am. So I'll be in Dallas a day early! I just need to buy my tickets to the game and hotel now!  fb ;D

Anyone on here going interested in meeting up for a tailgate on Saturday???

Tailgating is a longstanding college football tradition and will be allowed in stadium parking lots. To ensure that fans have a safe and enjoyable experience, spectators are asked to adhere to the following regulations on game day, unless specifically authorized to do otherwise by the NCAA:

• Possession and consumption of alcohol in the Stadium parking areas is subject to the laws and regulations of the State of Texas and/or City of Frisco. Police will patrol these areas and enforce all applicable laws.
• No kegs or other common source containers.
• No tents larger than 10’ x 10’ and must be located in front of a parked car or within the four spaces allocated to a recreational vehicle.
• Tailgating activities that take up vacant parking spaces or interfere with pedestrian or car traffic flow within or around a parking lot are prohibited.
• Parking permit holders are responsible for functions they host in their parking spaces.
• Open flames other than grills are not permitted.
• Pop-up tents and canopies must be secured or dismantled if left unattended.
• Lots open at 7 a.m. All spectators are encouraged not to come before this time as traffic lineups will not be permitted. Parking lots will stay open after the game, but all vehicles must be off property by 11:30 p.m. that night.
• All cars in the stadium parking lots must keep their parking pass displayed at all times, or be subject to towing.
• No corporate signage is permitted at any time unless prior written approval by the NCAA has been obtained.
• No couches or upholstered furniture.
• Spectators who want to watch television or use other entertainment devices that require electricity are allowed to do so as long as they provide their own power and video sources.
• No outside food vendors are allowed without the permission of the NCAA or Toyota Stadium.

Ah thanks for correcting me! I think my group and I will be there to cheer the team on to the stadium at 8:30 for sure (that's like 930 here). I myself will want to be at the tailgate lot at 7 given that is when it opens, but we will see if I can convince the rest of them  fb
