My wife just told me she has Orange Bowl Tix for us
Dec 27, 2015, 9:41 PM

but no other arrangements. I need help.
Do we fly, drive, take a charter, etc.? My thinking is to just drive and sleep in the truck (not cuz I have the poor but because I have the cheap). But Miami isn't a place I would feel comfortable with that. Please respond with SRS and nonSRS answers. SRS with receive TU. NonSRS probably will too. TIMFA

Number 1 - where are you leaving from?
Number 2 - stay an hour or 2 out.
Number 3 - Try airbnb.com for a place to stay
Number 4 - try kayak or priceline for a place to stay

with gas as cheap as it is right now, drive down and after the game head back up the Interstate about 30-40 miles. You'll be out of the Miami area and rooms will be very, very reasonable.

Thinking we will drive down 12/30 and stay with her. Go to the game and then go back and stay with her after the game. Need to spend time with her so it should be a good trip.

Drive it

Take your time and enjoy time with the wife. Do a side trip to Daytona Beach or Orlando on the way down and/or on the way back. Take the wife shopping at the St. Augustine outlets right off 95.

Drive it. Find a Wal-Mart and park in a Wal-Mart in a nicer part of town, they let you park there for free and have security you will see RVs and truck park there.

Not sure where your leaving from but
Dec 27, 2015, 11:08 PM

I would leave the day before or the day of and just find a cheap hotel to stay at within an hr or so from the stadium. You can find a decent hotel like Fairfield inn or Days inn charging around 60-80$ a night. Last bowl game i went to i stayed about an hr from the stadium and got the cheapest hotel i could find which was a Fairfield inn at 80$ a night, plus there were Clemson fans everywhere in that hotel & free breakfast. Should be fun for you and the wife, don't pass up on this opportunity.

About $400.
If you fly in , fly into fort Lauderdale and stay just north of ft lt for cheaper room rates.
If you drive and see a wavering rentaminvan honk your horn to wake me up.

^^^ This is pretty accurate

Cheapest flights I've seen were ATL to FLL at around $750 for two round trip.
Still undecided. Want to go but don't want to drop 2k.
Some good suggestions in this thread but no way in hell I'm sleeping in a car in a Wally World parking lot - with or without #####

I see a few hotels now in West Palm Beach for $60.

I booked earlier and will stay further up north for under $50. That's on my way anyway as I'll fly to Orlando. Need to keep the budget low just in case we go to Arizona.

Stay near Ft Lauderdale. It's closer to the stadium. Probably a little cheaper too. Don't wait till last minute to leave, factor in traffic . We are on the road now and I-26 East about 5-10 miles before I-95 is basically a parking lot. Heavy traffic.

Howard Johnson Airport Plaza Hotel is $202 on New Years Eve....
Dec 28, 2015, 1:49 PM
|
|
That is IF they still have rooms available.
That's where we found a room - between the airport and the stadium....
no more than 20 minutes away in heavy traffic I'm sure... also not the best section of town (I know because I was in Miami for the game earlier and we drove through the area. But, not a problem unless you're stupid I'd imagine)
Flight were around $300 on Travelocity when i booked, but try whatever sites you can.
Otherwise drive & plan on traffic delays...still being holidays & a big game full of orange-clad fans.
Who cares how fancy just for the night - for a place to crash after the win & big New Years Eve party - I think the room rates were weren't too bad if you shop around, but it is NYE...
Good luck!
Go Tigers!

I drove to Ft Laudedale last year from Lexinton, sc the drive wasn't to bad, made it in about 8.5 hours, but I only stop for gas and get after on the accelerator pretty good. I would stay at a hotel about an hour outside Miami, you should be able to find a good clean room for Around $100.
