    We go to Aussie's for some of the games. They have league pass there. All you have to do is announce that you are going to Aussies for the game a look for responses. RM95 calls it the AustinRocketball Association. I don't care what it is called, but its fun to watch the games.

    Let us know if you're going down there.

    Go to Showplace lanes. As a student, this was the only place I knew of that dedicated a big screen for Rockets games.

    does the tavern still show games? during the rockets hayday in the 90's they showed them all. it was sweet. i havent been cause my old manager is the manager there now and he was a prick.

    Tavern closed down for good about a week ago.

    Do you have to buy anything at Showplace Lanes to watch the game?

    I'm not sure about making it on Monday yet, but I'd like to because it is the Jazzholes. Aussies is inbetween south congress and south first on Barton Springs. Just go down Lamar until you hit Barton Springs, head East on Barton Springs. Aussies has beach volleyball courts there and is in the middle of a business complexish area. There should be plenty of parking and you can ask the bartender to put the game on. It's a bar and resturant so all ages are welcome I'm pretty sure.

    Don't know, but if I recall, you need to be 21 or you're SOL.

    there used to be a place on South Lamar called the "Shole Creek Saloon" that played every Rox game. Very good fried sea food and cajun cooking. Free shuffle board. That was some 2-3 years ago, but you might want to check it out and see if they're still in business. The owner is from H town, and only shows Rockets and Saints games. He was my hero during my 2 year stay in Atown.

    I went to Dave&Buster's on Monday, since it's located very close
    to where I live. But they only put the Rox game on a tiny TV that
    pissed me off big time. I'll try Showplace lane or Aussie's next
    time.
