trackgopher Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 41 minutes ago, Galagore said: Just did a search for Saturday, March 18. Pacers play 76ers at home on a Saturday night. Priceline says average hotel room in downtown Indy is $428, standard deviation of $95. That means expect to pay between $333 and $523 for a room. And that is a regular season home game, not an all-star weekend room. And the day after St. Patrick's Day.

(Not that I am arguing with the point you are trying to make) Yes, just going for a "big event" weekend for comparison. My guess is NBA All-Star weekend will be able to match the crowd for St. Patrick's Day/Home game against the Sixers weekend. trackgopher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestling Scholar Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Brandon Barton said: As someone that has lived in the Lafayette area for a long time, I wouldn't recommend that lodge to anyone that likes to sleep without worrying about their room getting broken into. Brandon, that's a good point, but were trying to sell the pros to the IHSAA state site selection committee. Let's not scare them away. We need to sell point that we got a plethora of diverse reasonably priced hotels in the greater Lafayette area. Still looks better then paying $900 a night as compared to Indy. I just wouldn't recommend either bringing any valuable either to the Lincoln Lodge hotel. Ill get with the Purdue contingent that we need to have extra security at some hotels that night and maybe a bed bug fog at certain hotels the week before. Also just in, the Purdue contingent is upping their bid and now has an agreement with Bruno's to sell Bruno Bread at Purdue Concessions. Working on Gibson Shaved Ice to open a booth.

Most of them, and the bowling alley at the Union would be open, and Drew Brees's restaurant "Walk-ons" would have extended hours. Like to see the Fort top that.

But we have places like Coney Island, Powers Hamburgers, some solid BBQ, DeBrands chocolates, Don Halls, and more. jonah7474 and ILUV2PIN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Im always on the search for good BBQ. The drive isnt terrible to the Fort. Better than the Evansville drive. I did that last weekend.

Purdue threw their hat into the ring late in the process per what I gathered while at the IHSAA.

julio Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Here is the secret, most of you will not like it but I try to fix a problem not complain about it. Keep Sectionals the same date. Move Regionals to the following Wednesday, it is only 3 rounds. Semi-State is the week of Regionals State is the week of Semi State, 1 week before All Star Weekend and rooms are not $500. You want it in the best Venue for the kids, this is the way to do it. But like I said, people will complain instead of coming up with a solution.
