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).<o:p></o:p></span></a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">In the end, that was the trick to scoring a walking distance room – booking two nights.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I also managed to score two pretty cheap lower bowl seats by waiting for a normal person to try to sell below the market rate just to get it sold. 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.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
