I can't decide on which Houston hotel to stick with. What hotels are most popular for LSU fans? What about Friday night bars?

I would stick with the downtown area. There are several nice hotels in downtown. Many are close to the Metro Rail which makes it an easy commute to the stadium and to the bars located in downtown and midtown.

If you enjoy craft beer go to Flying Saucer at corner of Main and Capitol. There are 3 or 4 more bars within a block or so of FS. Cab or take Uber to Midtown on Friday night and it'll be packed with people per normal but probably lots of Tigers too. Christian's, Front Porch, Dogwood, Drinkery, Doghouse, Celtic Garden, Little Woodrows....all good options for a Friday night.

There is no perfect spot. Just pick a damp hotel. It's a place to sleep, that's it.

I'd say Midtown is a better bet vs. Downtown. You can walk to all of the bars/restaurants and don't have to deal with the light rail. There are more sports bar options, and you can hop around depending on the scene you want.

Here's a thread I made about a month ago with some good input from other posters.

I'm staying downtown and plan on walking to Midtown (it looks like it's only 6 blocks or so?) and then taking the rail to and from the game.

I live in Houston and one place I highly recommend for the weekend is City Centre. It's right off of I-10 which is convenient and has plenty of great bars and restaurants to walk around and check out. Plus it is close to the Galleria and Top Golf which I definitely recommend. Only downside is you'll have to drive to the stadium.

... unless you use Uber and join through a referral link to get a free ride up to $30.
