Just named my own price on Priceline and got the Residence Inn downtown for $120 a night...Cant wait to bring in the New Year with fellow Cyclones!!

Dang - half of what I just paid... of course, I can cancel my res and try the "name your own price"... my luck though I wouldn't get the residence inn this time around...

We are staying at the Clarion Hotel by the Airport/Graceland. We chose this one because it allows pets and out dog is coming with us, plus my wife used some points she had accumulated so we got 2 nights free.

Is there any reason to stay near Beale Street with kids below drinking age?

I am not aware of anything if you have a sober driver. Probably will spend time downtown for the parade, etc. but am staying in the Germantown area and just plan to drive in for anything like that.

I just checked with the Peabody, they now have some rooms available.
901-529-4000Get to reservations ask for the block that has opened up.
Probably going fast or may be gone soon but there are some available as ofbut worth a shot.

I'm thinking Germantown too. The kids want to try Memphis bbq, I suppose maybe we should go downtown for that. They are kind of pumped to try going to Shiloh NP but that looks like a lot more driving.

I'm in charge of booking our hotel for our group and I don't want to end up far away from the stadium/Beale Street. Every google search I do has a disclaimer of "don't go out in this neighborhood at night" so I don't want to screw this up. I saw CF is going to be at the Crowne Plaza but what other places have people found or would recommend?

We are staying at the Holiday Inn University of Memphis.
It is only 2 miles to stadium and 7 miles to Beal street.
$123/night

Holiday Inn at the University of Memphis!!
Close to everything!!
Walking distance (2 miles) to game!!

[carvers4math]

I tried Holiday Inn at University of Memphis at it was already booked, it looked like a great option.

You must ask for within the bowl game block and central reservations

Stayin at the Hampton off I-240...it is a bit of a drive to Beale and the stadium, but it was only 7500 hilton points/night ($89 for non hilton honors members) so I couldnt pass it up.
