We are all set for the kick-off of the 2015 season in Rodeo style!
PLAYERS & SUPPPORTERS:
All Players to be at ground ready for 8.00am warm up. Anyone who can help setup from 8.00am would be most welcome! Players bring your usual footy gear and towels as it will be wet. We will have the official Lonestars team kit.
We will have plenty of water and ice on hand and a couple of canopies – it's looking like wet-weather footy so if anyone has a spare canopy please let us know. Lunch and fruit will be provded for the players.
Supporters all welcome and encouraged to come down and support the team in their first hit out of 2015. Supporters welcome to bring their own food and drinks and we will have some drinks available for a donation on the day. No alcohol permitted!

RODEO HOUSTON:
For those of us heading along to the Rodeo we will have to wrap things up soon after the footy finishes at 1pm to pack up the field and give everyone a chance to get home and shower/change into Rodeo gear!!
The Rodeo starts at 3.45pm in the stadium but you want to be in your seat at 3.30pm for the start. We will be meeting at The Wine Garden at 2.30pm (see map below) for those interested. Our pre-bought tickets are in sections 630/631 and will be handed out at the Cowboy Cup game ONLY. If anyone else decides they want to come there are still seats in our area on Stubhub for approx. $70.
The Rodeo & Concert goes till about 7pm after which we will go to The Hideout (see map below), a country hoedown in the fairgrounds - bloody good fun!
After that will take the light rail up to a bar in Midtown or Downtown (Bar TBA). Anyone not coming to Rodeo can meet us at The Hideout at 7pm or later that evening on the town from 9pm.

SUNDAY:
The plan on Sunday is to head to our sponsor brewery Karbach with the Squids for a few beers from 12pm.
It promises to be a great weekend and let's show the Squids the some great Texas hospitality to reciprocate the great times they have shown us over the years.
Cheers,
DB & Lonestars Committee
