A college football viewing party with a DJ pre-party, live music by Texas String Assembly, and a Jumbotron broadcast of the Texas vs Ohio State game.
Hotel Vegas & The Volstead Lounge is hosting a college gameday on the patio on Saturday, September 12, for the Texas vs Ohio State game. It's a full day of watching the game and hanging out, running from 12 PM to 9 PM, with the game itself kicking off at 6:30 PM on the jumbotron with sound. If you're planning to spend the afternoon there, you'll want to keep the whole timeline in mind, because the football is only the last part of the day.
Things get moving early with a DJ pre-party featuring ulovei and Vintage Jay, who'll be spinning through the afternoon. Then, at 4:30 PM, the Texas String Assembly takes the stage for a live performance. That puts a few hours of music between the start of the day and the actual kickoff, so it's more of a full-day hang than a quick trip in for the game. By the time the game starts at 6:30 PM, the jumbotron will have the action and the sound to go with it.
