Frisco

My oldest brother is coming into town this weekend and he was talking about going to see the Roughriders on Saturday night. Anyone know who's going to be starting? If we end up making it out there I'll be sure to write up anything of interest.

Also, since we'll have to be out there for dinner, what's a decent place to eat in Frisco. I know they're got all the major stuff, but is there a good local spot? And what's the policy on bringing stuff into the ballpark?

I would suggest looking at shroomers site.

the link is at the lower right hand side under links. He lists all of the probables for the minor league system and links to the boxscores when possible. Great reference site.

In a nutshell

No food allowed in.

Andy Walker is probably going to pitch.

Blue Mesa or Randy's Steakhouse for dinner.

Also

You can bring in a clear plastic water bottle as bitlong as it's empty.

Parking is $3 in the parking garage, or free in the Stonebriar Mall parking lot's designated areas if you don't mind a 5-minute walk.

I'd go with Tin Star for dinner (it's over on Preston) though Blue Mesa is also a good choice. I definitely recommend eating before you get to the park: while the RoughRiders are minor-league ball, they charge major-league prices for everything but parking and the game program, which is free.

The park is pretty cool overall- plenty of open space, and the concessions are OK, though nothing special. Being a AA park, you'll get fairly close to the action- the bullpens are located in the stands.

Hope

I guess I should just hope that they promote Hurley during the Cal league ASB, right? Probably not gonna happen when he gave up 5 ER last time out, but I can still hope.

That's kinda funny that you can take food and drinks into TBiA, but you can't even have water in Frisco.
