    I used to live in Ft Worth and I watched a few games at Ben's Half Yard House. What a great atmosphere to watch an LSU game with at least 150 LSU fans. Try it out, it will be fun.

    Yeah, Ben's is the place to go. It's on Greenville Ave near Park Lane. There should be a pretty big crowd for the Florida game so you might want to get there early. I think it's usually $5 domestic half yards during the game.

    Great Atmosphere at Ben's with alot of TV's, but the Big screen/projectors suck.. just wish they would invest in some higher quality media.

    Ben's halfyard house is the LSU hangout man. They show every game and draw a huge LSU crowd. They also show the Saints game on Sundays as well. Dallas has a ton of LSU people. It seems like i meet new ones everyday.

    Here is the link with the phone number. I have never seen them not show a game there. So my guess would be yes.

    I haven't been to Ben's to watch a game in years. In fact, I think G-LSU and I watched an Auburn game there once during my birthday weekend.

    Now that I have kids, a smokey bar is probably not the best venue for me to watch the Tigers.

    By the way, lsuk, I think you'll really like living in Dallas. I moved here ten years ago and doubt I'll ever live anywhere else.

    Yeah...the smoke is my number one complaint with the place. It's a good place to go meet other Tiger fans if you're new to town though. Meet a lot of my current friends there when I first moved to Dallas. Nowadays I spit between having people over the house and going to Ben's. When I'm not in Tiger Stadium of course.
