BullyPulpit Posted April 7, 2008 Group: Member Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 6,466 Reputation: 1,893 Days Won: 35 Joined: 02/02/2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 The advantage of the Ramada is that it is literally less than a 1 mile walk to the stadium. It is located adjacent to the Fairgrounds, which I owuld imagine serve as parking for the NC State games. Although the quality of the Ramada may not be four star, the location will more than make up for it. Walk through the tailgates, go back to the room and cool off, head to the stadium, and then walk back to the hotel, while everyone else is still trying to escape from the parking lot.

The idea of walking to the stadium on game day and not having to pay for parking is what led me here.. I think with the money we save ($40 a night) we will do the alumni tailgate and not have to worry about packing tailgating stuff... I do love the embassy suites, however, driving back anywhere after the game is a big negative to me! In this day in age where a tank of gas is costing me $60, and I have to fill it 4 times... This is easily shaping up to a $700 weekend (2 tix 75, hotel w/ taxes 200, gas 240, alumni tailgate $75, other food $100) for me and the wife.. Ramada works for me, hell we will still have to pay for ucf and fiu roadies! These 9 game (yes we can't make 3 this season) seasons can be costly!
