Lining up a place to stay for the Super Bowl could be a chore for many of the roughly 150,000 visitors expected in Indianapolis for the big game on Feb. 5. Hotel and travel websites are listing only a few rooms for sale, and many of them are far from downtown and far from four-star and still carry asking prices of $400 per night or more. Fortunately, there are a few options. Among them:
- Rent a house or apartment. Dozens of Hoosiers are looking to share some hospitality and make a few bucks by renting out houses or condos near downtown. How do you find them? A new local website has compiled a list of homes and event venues for rent during Super Bowl week. The site offers free listings for property owners and takes a cut of any successful rentals. Of course, you could also check Craigslist for rental homes or, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, set up an account on CouchSurfing.org.
- Opt for a package deal. This may be the best option for folks who haven't bought tickets yet. Most ticket outfits offer package deals that include hotel accommodations near Lucas Oil Stadium. Attending the Super Bowl is never cheap, but ordering a package can save you a few bucks and ensure you're close to the action.
- Play the waiting game. The NFL has contracted with more than 140 hotels across the state to reserve rooms for fans and is releasing the rooms in waves. Most of the hotels will have a four-night minimum stay. No rooms are available at the moment, but check back at Indy2012.com for updates on the availability of rooms.
