Frisco - JMU bars for the weekend
So last year the de facto party neighborhood for JMU appeared to be at Legacy (Ringos and Scruffy Duffys). The people I have spoken with have mentioned not to expect that this year. That the NCAA party scene there has changed with new construction and also that the hotels in that area are leaning towards NDSU. However, I know that the JMU travel packages have hotels in that area.
Someone told me that the bars that were mentioned for after the pep rally (Concrete Cowboys and City Works) are the two go-to bars for Friday and Saturday.
Where should I be friday and saturday night if i want to be in a sea of purple?

We'll have a decent sized group out in the Allen area. It'd be great if we could pick a bar or two out that way to "claim" for the weekend.

With the Friday event being at the bars by THE STAR and the team hotel being at the Omni there, my assumption is that my group will party in that area both nights. City Works or Concrete Cowboy it is.

RE: Frisco - JMU bars for the weekend
i was definitely planning on hanging out at Legacy, i seriously doubt we're just going to get dwarfed by NDSU fans. there will be fans of both teams in the bars, but i'm not avoiding Legacy for that reason. that place is sweet.

the line at Scruffy's was way too long last year, so we went to Henry's Tavern around the corner.
I thought that place was great and was packed with JMU fans.

Legacy bars are going to be a short walk from my hotel so I think I'll end up there most of the time.

We were able to snag hotel rooms at the NYLO so right in that short vicinity as well. Will likely also Uber into Frisco to go to events on Friday

NDSU place.. in Fact 6 ACTIVE NDSU NFL PLAYERS will be at the Green Gator for a huge Meet n Greet event.
Scruffys, Tight Ends, and Wild Pitch are NDSU Booster club members... so scratch them and Henry's Tavern & Sambuca 360 already have all VIP tables rented by NDSU>
Enjoy Downtown Dallas!

RE: Frisco - JMU bars for the weekend
They are claiming on their board that every bar JMU fans plan on going to are “NDSU bars.” These morons think they own a minor city in Texas. It’s hilarious. We will go where we want, when we want, and they will be crying in their “rigs” after the game is over. Maybe I’ll buy one or two of them a pity shot. But they strike me as the type of fan base that drinks plastic bottle gin and Mike’s Hard Lemonades. I’d love to see them try and tell us we can not enter a bar that they haven’t rented out. They’ll be leaving with a few less teeth. Bet.

settle down francis, there will be no fights.
there's 3-4 bars that are NDSU boosters that will be 99% NDSU fans, might as well just accept that fact. and the others will be JMU bars and a mix.. it'll be fine.
NDSU drank the dam town out of Budweiser, CPT Morgan that 1st year.... Fargo is a top 10 Drunkest city in America... cmon man...

I'll go into an NDSU bar and chum it up with them. They have experience and there's nothing wrong with that. We're like the little brat brother that showed up to the same college as the older brother to these guys. The older/experienced guys always buy the young guys a beer. Let's use that to our advantage!
