NCAA Football National Championship Game Returns to Frisco

Blog· Entertainment

NCAA Football

First and foremost, I want to thank everybody who voted for me to be the Official Blogger of the NCAA Football National Championship Game and another BIG Thank you to Frisco Convention & Visitor Bureau (FCVB) for hosting the contest.   I’m beyond excited to be apart of the game and to keep you up to date with everything going on.

For the third time in the 35-year history of the NCAA Football Division I championship, the same two teams are facing off in consecutive championship games! This year’s teams will be a repeat of last year as North Dakota State University (the defending champs) and Sam Houston State University face off at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas.

On January 5th, the two teams will meet and battle for the championship title. Will you be there?

The gates open at 10:30am, be one of the first 2000 fans to enter the stadium and receive a FCS Championship scarf courtesy of the NCAA Respect Campaign.

If you plan on driving to the stadium, arrive early. Parking is on a first-come, first served basis. Parking lots will open at 8 a.m. on game day. Parking passes may be purchased for $10 each on game day. My suggestion is to skip driving to the stadium. Free fan transportation will be ready beginning at 8am and will run approximately every 30 minutes until game time. Return transportation to hotels will begin at 2pm and continue until 5:30pm. Shuttles will be available at the following locations:

  • Route 1 – Westin, Sheraton, Wingate: Westin guests pick-up at circle drive in front of Conference Center. Sheraton and Wingate guests pick-up in front of respective hotel.
  • Route 2 – Embassy, Hilton Garden Inn, Home 2, Inn at Stonebriar: Embassy & Hilton Garden Inn guests pick-up on North side of Westin Hotel Conference Center. Home 2 and Inn at Stonebriar guests pick-up in front of respective hotel.
  • Route 3 – Homewood, Aloft, Hampton, Holiday Inn Express: Homewood, Aloft & Hampton will pick-up in front of Homewood Suites. Holiday Inn Express will pick up in front of Hotel.

For more info about the  free transportation, visit the information tables located in the lobby of Embassy Suites and Westin Stonebriar, or ask the front desk of your hotel. Whether your driving or taking the free transportation, bring a cooler and some drinks to tailgate in the parking lot with your friends before the game or head over to Tailgate Town. If you’re visiting from out of town, head over to the Frisco Convention & Visitor Bureau‘s site for restaurant info, hotels and things to do in Frisco during your stay.

Once it’s ready for game time, which side will you be on? Sam Houston State will be the home team and have reign over the west sideline at FC Dallas stadium, while the east side will be North Dakota Bison territory. North Dakota State (13-1) holds a better record for the year than Sam Houston State (11-3) and they won the Championship Game last year but the big question is… Who will win the 2013 NCAA Football Championship Game?

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW. We ordered a variety of items from burritos, bowls, queso and more. Every single item was bursting with flavor. If you like spicy,  I highly recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken Burrito. 🔥 Don't forget to add on a Margarita pop - nothing beats alcohol and Mexican food delivered straight to your door!

Order directly from their site your from your favorite delivery service!
I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
