| Host Hotel and Early Check-In Information Click here for a map to the Hotel Holiday Inn Express- 972.929.4499 The Holiday Inn Express just north of DFW airport is a GREAT hotel for the money. The rooms are huge and CHEAP, only 55 dollars a night plus BREAKFAST. I don't know how great the service is going to be at the front desk but they seem very nice. They gave me a key and I went to check out one of the rooms. Very large room for only 55 dollars. This will probably be the best hotel you have every stayed at in Dallas for only 55 dollars. Please hurry because the rooms will all be booked soon. There are two options for rooms. The first option is actually two rooms. The outer room has a couch that pulls out into a bed and the inner room has a King bed. The other option is one big room that has two double beds and a couch that folds out into a bed. You can easily fit three people in each room. This will also be the location of our early check-in location and VIP area.
We will be at the hotel from 8-10 pm Friday night for early check-in. If you come to the early check in you don't have to worry about standing in line with 100 other teams Saturday morning, and yes, we have over 100 already registered.
Stadium Information: Parking will be free. You should enter the stadium through Gate 3 and park in front of the Gate 3 entrance. Check back soon as we include more information.
