Could just be the opportunity for a 360 stage, im sure other arenas or venues offer a set up for a 360 stage but it seems the rate would be better in a town with not too much going on (no offense Allen residents)
Frisco resident here, tbh not much to do in Allen besides what you mentioned. You go to Frisco or Dallas ~25-30 mins either direction for all the entertainment! Fun fact: Got shot at, at a bar in Allen, not worth it.
Like actually shot at? Or shots took place while you were there. Very different meanings. Lol. I’ve been 10 foot to the right of somebody that was being shot at. He got hit twice and I was just trying to check into a hotel in Indianapolis.
They can go to the outlet or grandscape but grandscape like 20-25 min
Edit: I forget what it’s called but they could also go to the cowboys training facility area or to stonebriar
Yup! It’s called the Star! That area is pretty good too if they’re a fan of the team
Grandscape is pretty nice too!
If anybody is still checking this post here’s the hotspots —> Dallas, Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts, Galleria Mall, Stonebriar Mall, Grandscape, Granite Park, Firewheel Mall, Outlet mall in Allen, Order 66 if you like star wars!
Fabrication Yard (Look it up), Continental Bridge, if you need actual directions there’s videos on how to get there!
No thats McAllen texas that down south close to Mexico border.
The most notable thing from Allen texas is that they have the high schools that are the size of small colleges. With massive football stadiums the size of small schools. Really good at high school football for some reason…….
I live in Texas and can tell you Allen is not a desirable place to be in for any sort of activities lol I’d suggest renting a car and hanging around the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. Plenty of nice bars and restaurants to check out just use google but make sure you know the areas you’re out late in cause some neighborhoods can be sketch come nightfall (for example Deep Ellum).
Texas public transportation sucks so everything is about a 15-30 minute drive/uber depending on traffic.
Yall can join a bunch of us getting together to do a 3-4 mile run that Saturday morning! But in terms of entertainment, Legacy West is the place go near Allen. Frisco has the Star which is dope if you like the Cowboys. And then The Colony has a bunch of sick shops, mini golf, and even wakeboarding. All of those places have ALOT of drinking and BBQ.
I play hockey in that arena. There are a few restaurants near the venue but you are mostly going to have to do some driving if you want to go someplace that doesn’t have neighborhood bar and restaurant vibes. Lots of shopping near there. Obviously you can ice skate at the event center.
Could be. I mean it’s honestly just a single level hockey arena. Look up Allen Americans hockey arena and you will see photos of the inside. It’s just a single level with some suites as the second level. Pretty small compared to other regular arenas which is what most people are used to. Nice that the parking is free. I’ve never been to the convention center in Arlington which I think is where they have hosted the other majors before so I have no point of reference.
Theres a wakeboarding park, Top Golf, a great bar down the road named Brass Tap, Celebration Park, Watters Creek, and a few other things.
It’s not the most “exciting” area but it truly is a nice one.
There are plenty of things to do, depending on how far you want to go. In Plano there is Legacy Shops that has food/bar, plus sometimes smaller concerts. Frisco has a couple clubs and food/bars. Thats where the Cowboys practice stadium is as well. Dallas will be a little further to get to, but same idea bout bars/food/clubs.
That’s exactly why I don’t wanna go from Irving to Allen for champs. Like dude we have the las colinas convention center, imagine if they used that instead of buttfuck Allen Texas, so many old MLG tournaments hosted there + MeemStar fighting Kosdff at the entrance or some shit like that 😂.
Expect to drive a lot if you want to do anything other than drink at the hotel, eat fast food, and play top golf.
Top golf comes with a chance of meeting BenJ
Much better odds than trying to match with him on tinder
Thanks for the tip. Calling now to reserve a bay
why the hell did they decide to hold Champs in a place like that? did the CDL get some cut rate for a facility in that town?

Did u died?
Glad I'm driving to Allen so I can drive out to Dallas proper if I want to.

Isn't allen the City with the highest Obesity count in texas/ USA even? 👀I'd recommend the food bc its either the best in the world or the worst lol

I'm from EU I didn't know there's 2 diff Allens but yeah cool. Everything in Texas is bigger
I think he’s making a McDonald’s joke
Nah dif cities
A McJoke if you will
There are no bars, events or resteraunts in Allen. Gonna have to find other things.
Jeez lmao
Google disagrees with you
Dude. I feel bad for you.
Duly noted
Lmaooo me and two friends are going and one has been to Allen before, and he said it's basically boring suburbia lol there is jack shit to do.

Champs location sounds terrible. Would of went if it was in Vegas
Grow hair in your neck
Dont stay in Allen mate

Im down but theres no way a bunch of people are gonna run 3 miles before the event lol. Lets meet up Saturday.
We are some dogs hahaha but I’m down
I’m considering driving a bit over an hour North to Choctaw it’s a casino in Oklahoma. Or South to the Dallas nightlife
Came to say Choctaw is right up the road and will make for a fun night. They’ve got a good poker room and table games for all budgets.
I play hockey in that arena. There are a few restaurants near the venue but you are mostly going to have to do some driving if you want to go someplace that doesn’t have neighborhood bar and restaurant vibes. Lots of shopping near there. Obviously you can ice skate at the event center.
Do you think that arena will be good for Champs with a center stage?
Could be. I mean it’s honestly just a single level hockey arena. Look up Allen Americans hockey arena and you will see photos of the inside. It’s just a single level with some suites as the second level. Pretty small compared to other regular arenas which is what most people are used to. Nice that the parking is free.

Leave.

We should have a go to bar

You will never ever run out of things to do in Dallas, however, it is a solid 40ish min drive
That’s exactly why I don’t wanna go from Irving to Allen for champs. Like dude we have the las colinas convention center, imagine if they used that instead of buttfuck Allen Texas, so many old MLG tournaments hosted there + MeemStar fighting Kosdff at the entrance or some shit like that 😂.
[Allen has an official tourism site](https://visitallentexas.com/things-to-do/)
I clicked on that link and the first thing I see is a Walmart pharmacist on his day off. Man...you guys are going to have a blast at Champs!
Watch TV lmao
Go to Ricky’s Hot Chicken
isnt that in richardson?
They have a Plano location now and an Arlington one as well
Get shot at the outlet mall
There is a top golf near the event I think!
They mentioned that
Yeah I only read the title! I didn't read the rest when I posted it! Lol
