Booked 4star Wyndam in Atlanta since we are flying in late Friday night. Using priceline got the room for $44 a night for two nights. Couldn't find anything in Athens.

I am mulling over staying in Atlanta myself...Athens seems pretty booked up...and here I was thinking I was getting a jump on things...there are also places in Winder Georgia...

Just as many SEC fans choose to stay in NOLA and drive to Baton Rouge for their teams game, I recommend staying in ATL and driving to Athens for the game. Athens is a yawn of a town and ATL is full of Tigahs.

There is also a town called Commerce, GA right of I-85 20 miles outside of Athens, with rooms for $79 per night.

What? Athens is a great college town. There are TONS of places to keep you entertained there.

If you stay in Atlanta, get a room in the Northwest side of town. Lots of people will be making that drive, so suburbs like Gainesville area may be your best bet.
I live here and may try to get a room in Athens myself. At least lets get them booked before the Dawg fans.

About 30 miles away on I-20 in one of the best antebellum towns in Georgia. May be pricey

I rented a condo a mile from the stadium and a mile from downtown. I booked it on VRBO. It ran me 500 for Thrus.-Sun. Flying into Atlanta Thrusday early evening and renting a car. And Athens is a great town to party in.

Prolly better staying in Atlanta. On game weekends, Friday night is big in Athens, Sa night is not quite so much.
Usually a day game, plenty of time to get back to Atlanta and party.
Be careful on gameday; some strange open container laws.
Should be fun .. They hate us a lot; the way we live, the way we drink, the way we Tiger Bait .. many of them absolutely detest the Tigers.
Damn, it's good to be a gansta.

Just booked at the Best Western Colonial in Athens for $189/night.

man that's high, should have been 89$ a night.
