College Gameday on the Patio - Texas vs Tennessee

Hotel Vegas & The Volstead Lounge are hosting a college gameday watch party for the Texas vs. Tennessee game on Saturday, September 26. It's set up as a tailgate on the patio, with the game playing on a jumbotron with sound so you can actually hear the play-by-action while you hang out. The whole thing is presented by the venue, and it's built around the game rather than just having it on in the background.

Beyond the screen, there are a few things to keep you there. They're handing out free breakfast tacos, and the patio is shaded with misting fans to keep things from getting too hot in the September sun. There will be drink specials running throughout the day, so you can settle in for the long haul without having to move around. If you're coming for the football, the jumbotron means you won't be squinting at a small TV from across the room.

Two Austin locals are on the bill: uLOVEi and Vintage Jay. Both are from right here in town, and they'll be playing alongside the game, so the music doesn't stop when the action on the field does. It's a full day of football and live music in one spot, rather than a quick stop before heading home.

Doors open at 10 AM, and the party runs until 3 PM, so you've got plenty of time to get a spot before kickoff. Entry is free, though it's 21+ only. The venue is at 1502 East 6th Street, right in the heart of East Austin.
