This topic may have already started but figured I would ask again! I just got everything setup for the Penn State trip I am psyched! Got that deal on the plane tickets a few weeks back. Looking forward to see the Bulls surprise alot of people and those lions! Plus seeing Penn State's stadium should be fun my grandfather went to school there for a couple years. Plus this is my first true road game since I have been at school here. Anyways who all is going? Go BULLS!

P.S. Goin to Miami game as well. And yes I am rooting for our Bulls of course. Be first time I have entered the orange bowl with other gear on. My dad had UM season tickets since I was 6 so always was a fan. but since comin to USF now I have green and gold runnin thru my veins, and Um is a distant second. So Go Bulls gonna be a fun and exciting first year in the Big East!

And this is a real diddy post the rest are posers and fakes! But I understand wanting to follow in the diddy way!  8)

Did you reserve the hotel only without airline tix?

If so, how much did the hotel cost?

I did, through Amabel Aqui.  The package included hotel for 2 nights, tickets, and ground transportation for the game, and was in the $700 range.

my room with tax is 135 for the night....are you really paying $300 per night for a room and ground transportation?

There are a couple things to factor in.  First, USF probably makes a bit off this, which is okay with me.  Second, I cannot underestimate the value of having ground transportation on gameday, especially in a small town like State College.  Third, compare the Hilton Garden to the Residence Inn.  Fourth, can you say "Hospitality Room"?

to each their own....

residence inn offers ground trans besides it is actually in walking distance.

i would not pay more $$$ in state college for a room than i would pay in a major US city....all i want is a safe clean room as I don't plan on spending much time at the hotel besides when I will be sleeping.
