The Woodlands is a great place to host this event. 45 mins from Huntsville, hr and a 1/2 from Beaumont and 2 hrs from Nacogdoches. Close to Houston with plenty to do.

Anyone know if the general public can attend.

Media only. It's a "Media Day" for the WAC.

I would assume at least some of it but I can send an email and find out for you.

That would be great! I live literally 5 minutes from the Marriott. I’d love to attend the afternoon sessions and a friend of mine from SFA wanted to go as well.

I did not see a reply come in yet but it was sent later on a Friday so don't really expect one until Monday but if I don't hear back by 2p Mountain I'll call and ask him.

Thanks I appreciate it.

Thanks I appreciate it.

It will be open to the general public (the location) but some of the production will be media only.

Additional information will be forthcoming I hear as Chris was not sure on this when I sent the email. Here is some other info. now though he passed along.


At this point, fans will be allowed on property but only media and invited guests will be allowed in the individual sessions. We are planning on streaming the live press conference on the WAC Digital Network so we encourage fans to tune in there!

Thanks I’ll keep looking for more updates. It will be interesting to see if there are any events for the public sense the interview sessions won’t be open to the public.
