Bulls 8_va Posted December 5, 2016 Group: Member Topic Count: 220 Content Count: 2,726 Reputation: 52 Days Won: 0 Joined: 10/08/2006 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I've been through birmingham many times on business. The Sheraton is your best bet for proximity(short uber/cab ride away), as is any other downtown hotel. Personally I'm thinking of staying a little south of downtown at the Aloft, its a W hotel property and its pretty badass. Its listed as one of the affiliated hotels on the bowl page. It'll run you around $120-130 a night but its a posh W like experience. Sheraton is a stock convention center type with normal rooms for probs the same price. Aloft is about a 10-15min drive south, closer to five points. just my $.02 GO BULLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be all over that usually, but for these bowl trips, I try to stay around the team whenever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy CoogBull is an SPG guy and swears by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably. This suggests that the Westin may be the USC team hotel: https://www.primesport.com/tp/south-carolina-gamecocks-football/hotel-only-birmingham-bowl-pkg-4827 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if we spend the night in Bham, or start the trip home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you didn't see it on the main board, word is that Hyatt is the AAC hotel, Westin is the SEC hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
