I'm so excited to hear this. The Dallas venue was amazing a couple of years ago. Plus downtown Dallas has numerous hotels so you can find a decent one for a reasonable price. I attend the F4 regularly, just purchased my tkts for Tampa. I'm a WCBB fan and enjoy the F4. To me the southern states do a fabulous job hosting. Maybe it's because I like the weather. LOL!! Whenever it's in Indy its usually still rainy and cold. NOLA, Nashville, Dallas and San Antonio were great. I especially liked NOLA. There's plenty of hotels so although the hotel prices increase there's a plethora of them so you can still find a decent hotel for $175 plus. In Indy I always find a hotel away from downtown since the pickings are slim once the teams get a hotel and then all the coaches for conference. Denver, too cold I didn't attend. LOL!! Anyway if you have never been definitely put it on your bucket list.
