The Sports Garden: 1850 E Belt Line Road in Coppell
Join us for one of the biggest annual gatherings of local-area Aggies; this Dallas A&M Club tradition brings together Aggies and friends of Texas A&M for a fun day of camaraderie - while tremendously supporting the DAMC's scholarship fund. It's a great way to catch up with old friends, meet fellow Dallas Aggies, and soak up the April sunshine. This fun, hours-long event includes all-you-can-eat Cajun crawfish (until we run out) and five (5) drink tickets for 16 oz. Coors Light beer - all for one price - as well as raffle for awesome prizes, games, vendors, and live music by Bourbon Diesel!
