Omaha questions from rookie

Hey guys, gonna make the drive tomorrow after work. Parking? Best hotel (most convenient with rooms left) to stay at? Best way to get four tix together? Saw the flash tickets suggestion and downloaded the app. Set up account but shows no events for Omaha. Too early or what am I doing wrong?
Bucket list trip for me, never been to Omaha. Lurker for years here - love the banter.
Thanks Ina advance for your help.

General Admission tickets are the cheapest. A GA ticket is good for any one game. But they limit how many GA tickets can get in the stadium for a game (I think it is 5,500). So if you take this route, just be sure you are in the first 5500
Look at stub hub for GA tickets if you want to purchase now.

I stayed at Double Tree. Not cheap but good location. A&M was staying there. Florida is staying there too.

There is a lottery for available tickets at 10:00 AM the morning before the games. Get in line by 8:45 or so and hope that you are in the lucky group that gets tickets. If you miss out on those there are plenty of scalpers, or the general admission seats outfield seats, of which you should get in line a good 60-90 minutes before game time to be safe.

I bought my tickets on line from a place called Red Zone tickets. They have a booth in the fan zone where you can pick your tickets up! But I drove to their office to get them in hand early.
As for parking drive up to lot D and pay $10 bucks to park. It's right across the street from the stadium.

Left Omaha yesterday to visit the grandkids inDallas - was planning to head to the hill country before heading back to NOLA but going no further south, just in the Tigers get to the finals & than headed north again.
If you are a budget, WoodSprings hotel across the river in Iowa ($7 Uber to the stadium) - some good bars within blocks of the field - tickets are no problem - Tiger HQ is Barrett's Barleycorn for drink & tickets - this was a bucket list trip for me also, can see why fans go every year - pass a good time

Won't get there till late morning so GA won't prolly work out. Stubhub has tix. Just wondering if I should pony up the $100 per ticket or do Flash Seats or?

Go to primesport.com for tickets. The tickets you buy there are flash tickets. Go to the flash tickets person at the gate and they swipe your credit card and print you a ticket.
I parked at The Gallup Organization parking lot. It's on the corner of Abbott and Riverfront. It's free and a shade under a mile from the stadium. Stayed at a hotel in Bellevue 15 minutes south of the stadium for much cheaper than anything downtown.

The GA line has been long AF each game. I wouldn't risk it.
