My Dad and I are staying there, it's not too far from the DFW airport. We'll be flying in, and won't have a vehicle. If anyone's looking to carpool to events/the game, of course, we'd be more than happy to chip in for gas and whatnot.
yes plz

Last time I reserved a rental

Last time I reserved a rental car online I was quoted one price and when I got to the airport to pick up the car they added on a bunch of fees and taxes. Not sure if I will rent a car in Dallas but if I decide to I am going to wait until we get there and try and negotiate a better price.

Also don't forget that if
Also don't forget that if
Also don't forget that if you're a member of the Alumni Association you can get a discount with 3-4 of the biggest rental companies.
And if you work for the U, the discount you can get via the Big Ten rate with National is usually pretty sweet.

September 1st cannot get here soon enough. Been way too long since I've them live, and Cowboys stadium is seriously unbelievable (would rather watch at the Big House obvs).

Parking for Jerryworld is more expensive than any other venue I've ever been to. Expect to pay anywhere from $60-$100 per car. It's quite brutal there unfortunately.

Not if you paid early for a parking pass at the stadium. Its 40 bucks, which is just as expensive as tailgating at the golf course.We are in lot 11, right next to the stadium.

Yeah that was a good move on
Yeah that was a good move on
Yeah that was a good move on your part. I'm not going to the game, just offering the info to the people who have not paid early for the stadium parking pass. Sounds like you got a great location though, should be a blast. I'm interested in what the crown split will be between fans, I'd probably guess 60/40 in favor of the good guys but I don't really know how well 'bama fans travel.

I will be getting dropped off
I will be getting dropped off
I will be getting dropped off by a friend in the area for several reasons. Not the least of which being traffic for 100,000 people. Unlike in A2 on gamedays, there is no shutting down the lanes of oncoming traffic so the entire street can be used to empty out all 100,000 of those people.

Had a room booked at the Knights Inn but someone on this blog told me that that is a very sketchy motel and to not stay there. I got scarred and bailed and now have a room at the Candlewood suites, which had much better reviews.

Man up

It's a 1 star motel not a crack house, I've stayed in tons of knights inns and the like over the years on road trips and I've never had a problem, just bring a sleeping bag and don't get in the covers. Obviously, if you have the cash and you want something nicer then go for it.

If people are still looking for a hotel...
I have extra rooms at the Fairfield Inn Arlington, which is otherwise sold out publicly. Two miles from the stadium: http://www.sportspowerweekends.com/michigan-vs-alabama-in-dallas-experie...
Contact me if interested.
Follow Michigan football on the road with Sports Power Weekends!
Rent a car or take a cab. Also, check with your hotel as they may have a shuttle. We don't have one at the Sheraton downtown but yours might.
