Historic Northgate
One of the oldest and most revered traditions at Texas A&M is Northgate. The vibrant entertainment district’s roots date back to the 1930s, and its growth expanded as A&M grew, meeting the needs of students and faculty for a place to eat, drink, and socialize. No game day weekend is complete without a stop in famous establishments such as the Dixie Chicken, The Corner Bar and Rooftop Grill, or Chimy’s to absorb a piece of history – and some tasty food!
Christmas Shopping at Century Square
One of the best ways to get primed for kickoff is the pre-game festivities at Century Square. Visit College Station and Century Square are hosting the annual Holiday Artisan Market on The Green on Friday from 4-8 p.m. Enjoy a festive evening of live music and shopping from local vendors—perfect for those last-minute Christmas gifts. Admission is free, and complimentary parking is in the Century Square garage.
