Attractions on the route to Dallas
April 4, 2014
Students will travel more than 13 hours to Arlington, Texas, a suburb Dallas, this weekend in hopes of witnessing the Cats win their ninth National Championship. The route totals nearly 900 miles and there are plenty of attractions to enjoy along the way.
The route runs through Memphis, Tenn., which boasts the Rock ’n’ Soul Museum and Graceland, former home of the late great Elvis Presley. Attractions in Little Rock, Ark., include the William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park and Big Dam Bridge, which is 4,226 feet long and flows above the Arkansas River.
Gas prices in the Lexington area were between $3.45 and $3.59 on Thursday, according to gasbuddy.com. Prices in Nashville, Tenn., stood as low as $3.24.
Once in Dallas, fans have the opportunity to shop, dine and experience North Texas culture in and around AT&T Stadium. From the Dallas Zoo to the Dallas Museum of Art, there is no shortage of tourist activities.
And other Texas cities are a short drive away. Both Houston and Austin are about three hours from Dallas. San Antonio, home to the Alamo, is about a four-hour drive.
