i've only been once or twice and it was on college night. The only thing i do remember was trying to walk through crowds of people :mick:

[MustangShauna]

NIOSA makes me feel claustrophic and want to fight. I think it is college night when it is the most crowded and that is when I happened to go last year. I am going to pass but whoever goes Have fun :mick:

It is Friday nights that are the most crowded. The crowd increases each night from Tuesday to Friday. I have been involved with NIOSA for the past 12 years and based on the official gate count this has been true each year.

History Lesson 101:

Fiesta San Antonio is a statewide celebration of Texas' Independence from Mexico, about saluting the state's diverse history, and about celebrating the multicultures that were paramount in the development of the Texas Republic.

The 2005 Fiesta, the 114th celebration in its history, will be staged April 15-24, when millions of revelers will gather on the streets of the Alamo City in celebration of Texas Independence.

Fiesta San Antonio is a held every April to honor the memory of the heroes of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto, and to celebrate San Antonio's rich and diverse cultures.
