Bowl Game Hotels...

[jamdawg96]

So, uh, I don't wanna jinx any mojo we may have going on here, and I'm certainly not trying toanger any Indians... But just so you fellow Sixpackers know, there are some pretty good deals right now on potentialbowl game hotels.

According to the Chic-fil-a Bowl website, the team representing the SEC will stayat the Hilton Atlanta, located a few blocks from the Georgia Dome. They currently have some pretty cheap rates forjustunder $150/night on the 30th and 31st. It's like $125/night if you have AAA. It requires no pre-payment if you select the right rate (avoid advance purchase rates) and you can cancel anytimeprior at no charge.

As for Nashville, the team would bestaying away from the nightlife at the Opryland, but the Holiday Inn Express on Broadway has regular rooms and suites for pretty good prices as well. Same deal with no pre-payment and no cancellation fees.

Might as well book now,risk-free,so you don't have to scramble for rooms later.

They switch them every year, and I believe OM was there in '08. But I'm sure we can get a Nafoomer to properly inform us.

However, traffic is terrible getting out to Jerry's World from Dallas. Last year I stayed in Arlington, next to Six Flags. Much easier to drive into Dallas for the party the night before than to drive into Arlington the day of the game. Hotel shuttle carried us to the stadium, which also kept us out of the parking traffic. The tailgating section of parking is way out from the stadium as well.

We stayed in Arlington within 1/4 mile of Jerry World the night before, but left for Mississippi after the game. It took us 2 hours to get to the east side of Dallas (exit for Cotton Bowl stadium). Awful. I can only imagine having had that same drive on the way into the stadium also.

Worried about NYD lodging in October. Congratulations. Must be nice.
