Championship parade
Wanna start a thread about the parade. When it will be held, where it will be held, how many of you are thinking about being there etc. I will be there and I will probably bring my 3 year old daughter. It would be great if I can meet up with some of you and have a beer.

Not until the week of June 20th.
Looks like the lessons of 2006 were learned by Dallas City Council.

City of Dallas spokesman Frank Librio told WFAA-TV that there will be a victory parade to celebrate the Mavericks' NBA championship.
"We don't have a date certain yet, but I can tell you that will most likely be the week of June 20th," he said. "We will announce plans soon and we are ready to throw a big party."
The likely parade route will be from City Hall to the American Airlines Center.
Dallas police say at least 5,000 people have jammed the plaza at Victory Park to celebrate the Mavericks' victory.
Stay tuned for more updates.

I want to be part of the parade if only I weren't in the Philippines. Can someone please write my name on a piece of cardboard and hold it up while the Mavs float passes by and take a picture of it? Please? I would forever be grateful

Plus, what is the best location to watch the parade? Will the parade simply end outside of AAC, or will AAC be opened for some kind of ceremony?

Thursday MORNING?
So I guess people with day jobs won't be there - brace yourself for looting and riots...

Thursday morning. I love that it's on a weekday/workday. True hardcore fans will be there, not the weekend warriors out to just be around a crowd and act stupid. Well I guess the bums without jobs might be there too. The entire city should be off anyway it's a new holiday. Someone declare it.

That's a shame for me too because Thursday is too early for me to make travelling plans.

As a Raider fan, looting and riots only happen the night of the championship.

I've been to so many mavs games, but making it to downtown Dallas from Waco for the parade will be an entirely different animal I'm sure. For those who have ridden the rail to the AAC, is the parking rail parking free? If not, how much does it usually run? Where are places to park and then ride the rail? If not the rail, what other alternatives do I have? I just have a feeling finding parking anywhere close to downtown will be a madhouse. Any logistical info would be GREATLY appreciated as I definitely don't want to miss it.

I'm just glad that after all these years, it's finally okay for him to expect a parade.

What are some specific locations of the "stations"? Or maybe there's a website with that information? Sorry for the 20 questions!

Good, waiting a week is nuts. Everyones waiting to get out of town. Having tom fly back in would be crazy.
Also having it during the week gets all of the folks already down there working, you know, the rest of the city.

Does anyone know if ESPN or anyone usually broadcasts championship parades live? I would hope that nba.com at least would stream it.

I'm lucky my sister agreed to drop her husband, son, and myself off at a rail station on her way to work and pick us up later that day.

here are all the best t-shirts and hats i've found. I'm def. going to be wearing one of these for the parade. I watched the game at the ice house it was really intense there. Such a great game.
If anyone has time I need help winning a commercial contest. I'm living in dallas and just completed a commercial for audiobooks and it just needs views so you really only have to just click on the link.

Thanks everyone! Also post up any more funny memorabilia you find! Way to go Mavs!

They don't hold these kinds of parades (or any parades, ever) at night, folks. And they're almost always during the week. otherwise the number of people that would come...the necessary police and everything...it just wouldn't work out. This is the way it is.
I am debating going. This is one of those things it would only be nice to say you were there for. Probably wont' see or hear much of any value. Like a football game, it would probably be better viewed on your HD TV on channel 8.
