Ok, I was kidding about making a reservation this early, but I tried and guess what...no rooms available. Not a single room available for July 9.
Anyone wanting to make the trip had better check out nearby hotels.
Bummer...

Oh, can I guess too?? LOL!! It's not surprise the league will block a few of those rooms...then again, the players need to stay somewhere (not to mentione the entourage of VIP's.

| While we're on the subject, Hotels are getting scarce in Indy for the Final Four. A month ago it was already hard to find a good price.

How am I going to buy you the lunch I owe you if you don't come to the ASG?

Could I pick the brains of any ASG veterans? Will there be stuff to do during the days leading up to Game Day? It seems to me I remember that has been the case in the past, and if I am going to make my way up there, I certainly do not want to miss any of the "zoo" or the "fun".
Thanks for your input and suggestions.

in a word, yes. hard to tell how much they'll invest in it because it's different each year. apart from the auto sessions and such, there are also usually some community-oriented activities planned around the asg, which, if you're alert, you can find and see players in a more natural habitat, as it were. stuff like fitness clinics and dedications and such around the hood. (it'll be interesting to see what will constitute "the hood" this time around . . .)

There's a Ramada up the road about 5 minutes. Not bad at all, was $70/nt AAA last summer.
Might I suggest some visitors consider a board junkie hotel?

You would think that they would have an extra tower in the works, but no.
I mean they have a 10,000 seat arena but only 1356 rooms? 
That's over 7 to a bed! That's a lot even for MTV...
