Great! pm me for my number in September and ill set up meeting place etc..

 

If any of you outa town guys wanna know where to stay while here let one of us local guys know becasue the state fair grounds are in as good of a place as soilder field was. There is a hotel right across the street but I problly wouldnt stay there becasue its an ok place and theres not really anything around there besides a McDs.

 

Thanks for the info, guys. We will hit you up shortly...

 

Im leaving on Thursday but wont roll in till Friday at noon unless I get there before 6:30pm on Thursday. I was able to get a free room at the Comfort Suites across from the Venue. Cant turn down a free room.

 

somebody get me a free room!!!!

 

Do NOT, i say do not stay near the event! lol

 

Is it a bad area? Only problem seeing if we stay further away will be rides to and from the hotel.

 

Its crappy neighborhood.

 

Whats a good area to stay we will be coming and leaving on I-70 from Indy? So I can see if they have rooms available. Since most of us are rolling in on Friday there is really no need for rides then.

 

You will be going right through downtown to get to 71N to get to the fairgrounds so there are a few right downtown by the convention center that you could stay at let me look and ill get ya some names.

wait, is there another filipino in our club? I thought I was the token filipino! hahaha

Just kidding, I will second the notion of NOT staying the night near the fairgrounds. Even setting one up 10 miles in any direction would be worth it. The Fairgrounds is located near one of the lower income areas and crime is quite frequent near there. If you anyone coming, I would recommend staying around the Outerbelt. Dal Lives on the Northwest side, Ben Lives on the Southwest side, and I live on the South west side. Each of those areas are good areas and are really about 10-15 miles from the fairgrounds.

But those that BuckeyeG picked are good ones as well. Those coming in from the East, let me know and I will make some suggestions on some hotels this way.

 

Not really a member. just gonna show with you guys since a bunch of you showed with us up in Chicago.

Also I found some hotels west of Columbus. just west of the interchange of I-270 & I-70. Is that area good?

 

Yea off rome hilliard rd?

 

^ I stayed at the Red Roof there with a girlfriend before...its a lot better than near the fairgrounds! There I am sure you can request a ground floor room so you can sleep with your car right outside the window!
