Thats not the fastest route.

1. When you get north of Parkdale Mall take Hwy 105 West until you get to cleveland.

2. When you get to Cleveland you will run out of road. Take a left and then at the first right take a right... This is just continuing 105.

3. You will quickly cross I 59 and about 1/4 mile past 59 you can do 1 of 2 things.

  a. Cross 59 and go 1/4 mile...Take a right on FM 1725 and go about +- 20 miles and you will run into 150.

     Turn left on 150 and go until (about 5-6 miles) you hit 75 and take a right. This will parallel 45 and take you right into Huntsville.

  b. Cross I 59 and keep going until you hit 75 and turn right... This will parallel 45 and take you right into Hunstville.

4. Once in Huntsville take a right on Sycamore or Bower road... Either will take you within sight of the stadium..

I have been there many times and tried several routes. The route via 1725 is not hard but you just need to pay attention and its a GOOD

bit faster. 1725 is a narrow, dark windy FM road but its excellent road and it probably cuts 30 minutes off the trip.

Close,,,,, when you get on 150, turn left onto 150 and go all the way to 75 at New Waverly (not that little squiggly that crosses 150 and continues North straight to H Ville on your map.. THEN at New Waverly turn right on 75. These are very well kept but typical East Texas FM roads

. What I do is mark the miles when I turn left on 150 from that point to the flashing light at the intersection of 75 and 150... Its about 6 miles.

That way on the way back I dont miss the turn.. 1725 is well marked on both ends but its right in a curve and its DARK at 11 at night.

Its easy to miss if you dont pay attention, but its a VERY easy route.

I think WOS played there 6-8 years ago in an afternoon game.

[RonBurgundy68]

The 1725 to New Waverly is the route that I take from Vidor to here at SHSU. It easily takes 20-30 minutes off the time.

Good Luck Mustangs...

If any of you here on SETXsports make it out to the game give me a holler, I will be running the camera for the scoreboard. So the replay shots are coming from me  ;D ;D
