If y'all are serious about attending, you'd be wise to reserve hotel rooms now.
can always cancel
Got any recommendations, Fearless?

There are some Hilton places in Omaha still available.  As a Diamond member, I can get a room even if they are sold out.

Omaha isn't that far away, it's just that the traffic is like rush hour in Atlanta pre and post game

well over half of the 90,000 attending the game come from the east

if it's a night game, pregame isn't so bad cause it spreads out the traffic, but of course post game is brutal unless you wait till after midnight to head to Omaha

if it's an 11am kick, pregame is horrible

Got any recommendations, Fearless?
Hilton Garden Inn downtown/Haymarket
Embassy Suites by Hilton
Hyatt Place Downtown
The Kindler Hotel
Holiday Inn & Suites Downtown is new
the Graduate has small rooms, but refreshed
Lincoln Marriott Cornhusker is were opposing teams stay

these are all walking distance and therefore expensive

I usually get a place across town and uber in and out - save some dough

if I was only coming to one game in my lifetime, I might splurge

the Townhouse Extended Stay Hotel downtown is a shit hole

as is the Great Plains Budget Inn on "O" Street

I would assume you're flying into Omaha

better prices and options for flights than Lincoln airport

warning - almost all hotels near the Lincoln airport are shit holes

I would fly into Omaha and likely stay there, I think, I know the drive back could be interesting.

I've driven back to ATL from Athens a few times.  The DOT is changing one four lane highway to limited access, but it'll take years to finish.  They built a lot of four lanes here without limited access because of the money, and now rebuilding some of them.

If it's not a night game, you can easily wait a few hours having dinner and talking with friends before driving back

it's the 11am kick or the evening kick that cause problems

My esposita and I are thinking of driving.  The "Inn" at Offutt AFB may be have vacancies.  They can't take reservations this far out, though.
