We flew into Lincoln. About an hour drive to Omaha. Way cheaper. Stayed in a town called Bellevue right outside of Omaha. 15 min drive to the stadium. Saved about $1500 on 4 nights in a hotel.

Might do this…how was driving to stadium and parking?
I.e. stress level and cost?

Parking is not a worry. You can pay to park in a lot or on the street by the homeless people for free

Super easy. Open parking and garages within a couple blocks of the stadium. $15 parking per day

Ticket prices right now,,,,wow! I'm in!!

Did anyone wait until the last minute to buy tonight ?
Stadium 80 % full but there were lots of groups of empty seats as well

Booked rooms in Lincoln. I don't mind the drive into Omaha.

Paid some pretty insane prices for tix to Games 1 and 2. But, I won't be stressing about going to Omaha without seats being secured. Didn't want to take a chance on not being 100% sure I'd get into The Chuck.

In the end, it's just money that you can't take with you. Might as well spend it watching the Ags BTHO Tennessee!!!!

When have we been this close to a national title opportunity in the past 85 yrs tho in any sport that matters? We haven't had any chances to plan the parade early …. Just sayin.

Yikes. The women's basketball team won a national championship in 2011 and track and field also has national championships. All sports matter. We are all Aggies.

Women's Tennis says hello

I'm more worried about trying to find a damn hotel room. Anyone know if there are any aftermarket sites for rooms that people booked but no longer want? Not really looking to spend $400 a night at the Holiday Inn

Look slightly further away. Lots of options. Even check in Iowa, it's right across the river and a bunch of hotels ($7-10 Uber ride to stadium).

lol come on man

COUNCIL BLUFFS

this

We just booked the best western near the airport, I think. Mr is handling that part.

I just booked the Hyatt Place in Lincoln for 3 nights for 27000 points. Total.

Got the hotel, but stressing about tickets. Are we sure they will come down?

I'm not sure about anything but I'm gonna do my best to hold out

Boooooo thought you were going to be at the Hyatt place too!

Edit. Realize thumbs down was aggressive

I thought we were too but somebody who isn't me waited too long to book.

Hopefully it will end up being cheaper. I may try my hand at the casinos in Iowa to see if I can recoup what I'm dropping on this trip.

Hopefully we can find some decent deals on tickets!!

I'm considering selling my football tickets

Anybody considering heading that way and risking it that SRO will be available?

I will risk it if you do, I can't really afford $1400 for tickets for 1 game for my family of 4.

I'm thinking of risking it too, but I REALLY can't mentally afford the thought of spending so much time and money getting to Omaha but not being able to get in the stadium!

Ticketmaster has a lot of them between 400-500 per game/seat.. Not cheap but if you really want to go there is inventory.

Be spontaneous! As the Ags were beating KY the other night, I thought if they win tonight they have a shot to play undefeated and go to the championship. Done. I went into Ticketmaster and bought tickets in section 113 for $140 a piece for last nights game before knowing the opponent and before the last out was recorded.. buy from Stub Hub or TM…no issues. Lots of guys last night selling tickets on the street, I have no desire to do that.

Game tickets were easier than a place to stay. I am a heavy Marriott and Hyatt traveler, status and points…I searched and the cheapest was $300 and a car ride away. So there was this Fairfield Inn within walking distance, points and $50, booked it.

We had Juneteenth off and my son and I traveled 6 hours to watch the Ags win last night, still unreal. Now as we load the car to go back home…it was a trip of a lifetime!!

BTHO Tennessee!

Just checked, Stubhub has a lot more tickets than ticketmaster. And better prices.

I'm getting close to pulling the trigger. Lucky to have a friend in Lincoln I can crash with.

Better prices where, most seats are more expensive on SH.

Technically it's half you just not the better half. Lol.

Make sure you are comparing the prices including fees. TM fees have been lower than the other sites all week.

HOLD......... HOLD......... HOLD..........


20 minutes before the game...
