This is a good place to stay. Game Day traffic can be a bitch. spend your time in Ann Arbor. Go to zingerman deli. Park at the business school or the institute (doubtful there will be enough parking at the Lds institute. BTW the b school is across the street from the institute). See all the frat parties going on out side. my former bishop took his 13 year old son and a friend to a mich game once and parked at the institute. Since it's by all the frats there were tons of house parties going on. In wild eyed amazement his son said "this is college? I want to go here"Originally posted by Clark Addison View PostAnyone have recommendations for places to stay for the Michigan game? I currently have reservations at the Hampton Inn Ann Arbor North, about 4.5 miles from the stadium. I'm flying in Thursday night, so will have Friday to see all of the Ann Arbor/Detroit sites. I have thought about staying in downtown Detroit, but don't know it well to know which areas to avoid, and also have heard that downtown Detroit is mainly business, not a lot else to do. I may try to get something close to Comerica and hit the Tigers' game Friday night."Be a philosopher. A man can compromise to gain a point.

Tick and I are headed BYU v. SJSU this Friday. We are thinking of playing some golf Saturday morning before heading back home. Anyone have any suggestions for a decent course to play in the area? Anyone else headed that way who would care to join us?"I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's a$$, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it". - Tommy Callahan III

Wish I could join you but the missus has other plans for me. If I were you, I'd consider Poppy Hills. It'd be a fairly convenient detour on the way home and it's been renovated. I really like the course. A bit pricey, but I think you get a break if you're NCGA.Originally posted by Drunk Tank View PostTick and I are headed BYU v. SJSU this Friday.

It's been a while since I've played either, but I also enjoyed Cinnabar Hills and San Juan Oaks, both just south of Jose.
I was thinking of hosting a pre-game meal of tri-tip for bluegoose, SB and others, but had to back out. It's probably just as well as I would have certainly invited you two and would have been ashamed by my paltry efforts in contrast to the masters.

BYU/Mizzou in KC has been replaced by Nebraska @ Rutgers for me this Saturday.. Significantly less expensive and my wife is 4 weeks away from delivery so she doesn't want me going far away if I don't have to. The positive is I'm taking my daughter to her first game.

So I was mostly joking when I said this, but prices on Stubhub have gone from $25 to $45. There is a lot of inventory still so I'm banking they will drop quite a bit tomorrow morning. If not I will go to the game and empty handed and try my luck. I've never felt so alive!Originally posted by Omaha 680 View PostI'm likely taking my daughter to see Nebraska @ Rutgers on Saturday. Nebraska is 4-6 and Rutgers is 3-6. Rutgers has only sold out once this year vs. Ohio State (didn't even sell out Michigan State). Should I risk it with scalpers or lock up a couple of $25 seats on stubhub now?

I got seats on row 20 for 10 bucks below face. This ended up being about 30 bucks cheaper than seats 30 rows higher on stubhub. I probably could have gotten them cheaper too.
Also I just saw today that some are predicting Nebraska vs Florida State in the Pinstripe Bowl on Dec 26th. That is only 3 subway stops away from me!

Did your sources mention whether Nebraska had to defeat Iowa in order to play in the Pinstripe Bowl?Originally posted by Omaha 680 View PostI got seats on row 20 for 10 bucks below face.
