    The first Wal-Mart was up in NW Arkansas but we definitely had our fair share early on. We currently have two Supercenters in town.

    So with this info it should be easy to pick a gamingtailgate destination for a grand real time meet up. I will vote for Kalamazoo due to its close proximity to Bells and Founders brewing companies . Course El Paso has an all you-can-eat Mexican place

    These are places to live, not visit it'll still cost a plane ticket (probably even moreso) to get to these places.

    We could all meet up in South Bend, go to a Notre Dame game, get drunk and root against the Irish.

    Gotta say it is an awesome campus and if you have never been out there for a game you should try it once in your lifetime. I went to the PSU vs Notre Dame game and it was a blast. The town was really cool and the campus was breathtaking. I have never been so happy to find the library in my lifetime, I had to piss so bad it was almost at a point of not caring.

    We got to the Casino at 5am started drinking ( I won some cash on three card poker) and then drove about an hour back to Campus. We drank so much that night/day/night I'm not even sure how the heck we ended up where we did at times.
