Going to Little Rock in November

Coming from BR, best route, IMO, is 61 to Natchez then 65 to Pine Bluff, 530 to Little Rock. You WILL see cops in: Vidalia, Ferriday, Clayton, Waterproof, East Carroll Parish (the worst), Reed, AR and Gurdon, AR, sometimes Gould, AR. Despite that, you can make pretty good time.

To stay: I believe the team is staying at the Peabody. Downtown is nice (Peabody, Doubletree, Capitol, Marriott Courtyard, Holiday Inn Presidential). West Little Rock has most of the hotels with an Embassy Suites, Crowne Plaza, another Courtyard, Springhill Suites, etc. and you'll have more chain restaurant type options out there than downtown. There is a place right across from the stadium called Markham House Suites, I think primarily used by people with family in nearby hospitals, but I know a few posters here have stayed there. There's also a La Quinta close to the stadium but you are getting into a bad part of town there.

The stadium sucks, you'll laugh at it, but hey, there is some semblance of tailgating there and you are getting to watch the Tigers!

Hey Fan 2008--the LR Alumni group is having a good gathering. Our North East TX group will be there also helping--as the time nears look on the LR wevb site and ours at TEXARtigers.com for additinal information.

There is a Hilton Hotel that is right across the interstate from the stadium and golf course. It is nice. All of the other good hotels are about 5 miles from the field out in West Little Rock. I would highly recommend the Hampton Inn and Suites on Shackelford (right next to a Krispy Kreme) or the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza on Shackleford. The Courtyard and Embassey Suites on Financial Parkway are nice as well.

LaQuinta....right across the highway from the stadium

Don't be in a hurry to leave. It's a Chinese fire drill on that golf course/hill area that everyone parks on. It's as bad as it gets. I'll be there, though...always am.

I go I-55;exit hwy 27 @ Crystal Springs, which takes you to I-20 @Vicksburg to Tahlula(sp). Then 65 north from there. That seems to be the easiest drive to me.
