Fluno Center in Madison

I've stayed at this hotel before. First class, but all rooms have only one bed. Rollaways are free. Lot's of bars around the hotel and it is walking distance to stadium. $155 for two people is an OK deal for downtown Madison. Gotta say you're from BG to get a reservation.

I saw that, I didn't know it was only one bed. We're at the Doubletree, about 11 blocks from the stadium, for $160 or so a night, with two beds for 5 or 6 people. (at least hopefully, to cut the cost of the room down some)

Three to a bed? Better be some females staying with you TG.

The Doubletree is close to the Fluno. Official BG pre-game bash at the Fluno, but when we get closer to the date, let's arrange a ziggy zoomba bash at some bar the night before?

Who said anything about the bed? While its on my credit card, I should theoretically be allowed a bed, the state I'm in, I'll be happy if I find a soft square of carpet for the night.

Though tossing a few coeds into the mix probably wouldn't hurt either.

We're staying at the Super 8 on the West Beltline Hwy in Madison.

$80.00 per night with two big beds. It's 4-5 miles to the stadium but we plan to take cabs everywhere. With three months to plan we're sure there will be a big BG bash somewhere--hopefully starting Friday night.

Truer words have never been spoken.

I can't think of an incidence where this would not be true

1. When you have a headache

2. Picking teams for pick-up runs

3. The game is on

In the interest of $$$, I think I might be staying at my place in the Chicago burbs the night before the game, and heading out around 8 in the morning. If the band ends up going, I might end up crashing with them at their hotel illegally though

Go on truck crew and then disappear before the game

Doubletree. Mmmmmmmmmm cookies.

I haven't decided where I'm going to stay yet. Wife wanted to stay in a Swiss village near Madison. They're having some huge festival so that may be out.

I'm in for an AZZ.com night!

We'll be up there Friday sometime, might get a round of golf in before the drinking, but will definitely be drinking along State Street at some point. An unofficial BG/AZZ bar could be pretty solid. If not a bar, then in room XXX at the Doubletree. Twenty bucks a head, unless you bring a coed.

Would my wife qualify as a co-ed?

We're considering driving up on Thursday and back on Sunday. We're going to stay in New Glarus, more than likely. It's about 25 miles outside of Madison, but it will be a nice place to stop. We'll do that town on Friday then drive up to Madison to reconnoiter and to fulfill my obligation to being the designated drunk*. I definitely want to hook up with a bunch of BG folks. I'd rather visit a local drinking establishment downtown wearing the Burnt Orange and Seal Brown!
We'll swap out cell numbers as the time nears.
