The city was great. My perception of Laredo changed completely. Everyone we met was nice and accommodating. Main Event and the Danny's at (4320 McPherson Avenue, Laredo, TX 78041) were able to host our group of 35 easily. We did have some language barriers to overcome while ordering food throughout the week but each and every restaurant was patient and helped us out.
Our girls played at Benavides Park. The best fields we have ever played on.
Shopping was the best!

The community embraced our tournament and went above and beyond to make the boys experience memorable. Thank you Laredo.
A few of us went to La Carretera a restaurant close by and it was delicious. They even had a great Trio that sang that evening. The food there was generously portioned and delicious. Went by the Mall and loved it as well. In all I just love the abundance of culture. We had our conference at TAMIU and being one of the first times on the campus loved the beauty of it. Anyone worried about crime or hostility, do not let it deter you my group of 80+ had a great time and felt safe the entire time. Thank you, Laredo, TX for a great time.
