Where To Stay on Game Day

If you’ve finally secured tickets to a sporting event you’ve been looking forward to, you want everything to go smoothly. Before the big event, you might check out the view from your seats online, plan transportation and strategize where to eat.

One way to make the experience even easier is to stay close to the stadium or arena. When you book a room with Choice Hotels for the night before the game, you can avoid a lot of traffic and expensive parking fees. You can also relax if the game goes long, or you feel like celebrating a victory.

Here are six Choice Hotels stays near major venues in the biggest sports destinations in the eastern United States.
