Idiot I’m just trying to help. Somebody else was under the impression you couldn’t book this far in advance also. Just letting them know you can.

You're staying in a hostel. Congrats.

I'll book at the JW Marriott when they release rooms in 3 days.

I don't know what the rooms are like there (the term hostel isn't encouraging) but there is a really cool bar in that hotel.

That’s awesome. So proud of you. I’ll save money to sleep and enjoy the game just like you.

Had great reviews. The bar open until 2am and convenient location sold me. Fingers crossed. Regardless I’ll be at the game. That’s all that matters. Don’t need a 5 Star for that. Can’t take the hotel to the game.

I really don't care about your hostel booking.

The point is that every Marriott and every Hilton is not yet available for booking, meaning they are completely available, not completely booked. This doesn't even consider Hyatt and others, which likely don't book out that far, either.

Hilton has Hampton and Marriott has Fairfield for budget friendly rates. All of them are 100% open at this point in time, not fully booked.

I’d be careful about hotels.com. I booked through them for Syracuse and then about two weeks before game the hotel called and said they were overbooked and I was out. Preference was given to those that booked directly through hotel. Things worked out but I’ll never use hotels.com again.

That sucks. I’ve never had an issue with them. I’ll defintely keep that in mind. Thankfully I can cancel mine anytime within like 3 days of it if I find something better. I just wanna be close as possible without spending a fortune.

I moved from St. Amant, LA to Austin, TX over a year ago and could not be more fired up about this game. I do hope Tom Herman gets this team up to par with a strong finish this year. Austin will be a welcoming fan base for Tiger nation!

In all fairness, is game 1 really gonna be a game? But yeah, you’re right.
