>>> I had to withstand mockery from my wife (“are you still refreshing your Hilton app??  Can you at least multi-task and do the dishes?) but after  full day of monitoring (and refreshing), I managed to trade up my room from an airport area Hampton to an embassy suites right by the stadium.   I used points instead of $$, so it didn’t bother me too much that I had to book Sat and Sun nights even though I am leaving Sunday.  Prices were high ($300-ish a room, but points were oddly not any higher than normal). <>

Unfortunately, I am in section 116 and will probably have to deal with mostly Sparty fans, and I am in Row 2 which sounds cool to my son, but god knows whether we will be able to see anything.

>>> Best bet is to keep checking hotel sites and don’t limit yourself to properties close to Indy. You might have to stay 25 or 30 miles out or more.  I know when I looked last night one of the Hampton Inns (Indy East) had some availability and at least one of the downtown properties as well. I can tell you the downtown one was over $400 a night.  The Hampton Inn –Indy East was more $170.
