Do any players actually live in Grapevine, TX?

Vegas or Orlando.

Vegas, I leave the family home and catch hell when I get back.

Orlando, I take 'em with me.

There's only one thing in Texas for me....my in-laws, and that's a good enough reason to stay out of the lone star state.

Looks like Grapevine is smack dab in the middle between Dallas and FW. So anyone living in that area could do it.

I agree with AKAK. Hell, just Balboa Park itself is a good reason to go... that place is incredible.

I just got back from Florida...ALL over that state and you don't want any part of it this time of year. I thought 115 was hot
in Arizona.

Florida was pretty constant 90-95 and about 60-90% humidity which was gawd-aweful :(

Even on the beaches, it was hot and muggy with no cool sea breezes.

I thought Indy or St. Louis would be good. They are smack dab in the middle of the country. Easy to get to by car or puddle jumper.

I like the idea of having it here again in Dallas. That way I don't have to take any vacation days, just show up after work.  :D

One thing.. needs to not be during the middle of summer!!  More like fall when business slacks off when I can get away from the office.
