what airport should I fly into for the UGA game? Also, I remember yall saying all the close hotels in Columbia are booked, so in searching for hotels are there any areas that should definitely be avoided?
I'll have plenty of questions about the city/game closer to September, but these 2 are important right now as I'm about to start getting things booked.

Don't know, all depends on flight. I just priceline'd a flight from bham to columbia for the wknd and it was $700 so obviously I'm gonna wait. When I've flown from atl to phoenix, wichita, and denver my flights were all around 250-300 bucks. I guess I'll have to fly into a different airport.
I'm guessing all total it'll be around 6 or 700ish hundred for the trip. I probably wouldn't go if I didn't want to prolong this streak, shite's expensive. I decided though I'm going to hit 100 then chill the frick out. I'm shooting for 7 games this year.

I wold fly into STL and drive to columbia. It is about a 90 minute drive, easy, down I-70 (110 miles)
The regional airport is COU. you can check into connecting to there through STL but its just as easy to drive.
the other option is to fly to KC (MCI) but its nearly a 2.5 hr drive from there.

re hotels, you can look at Jefferson City (30 miles south), Kingdom City, Fulton and Boonville for options.

Lambert (in St. Louis) is 112 miles from the staduim. KCI (in Kansas City) is 149 miles from the stadium. Not a huge difference, but St. Louis puts you a little closer, and you're on one highway the entire trip. I usually take my kids down to the games and drive back same-day, so I will defer to other Mizzou posters to advise on accommodations.

Can I fly into Jefferson City?
The only problem with St. Louis is it's still over an hour drive away and I'd like to be a little closer.

What is a good hotel to stay outside of Columbia? Im assuming all the Columbia hotels are sold out... I cant wait for this trip.

Oh, I thought JC was a lot closer. I guess STL is the better option in that case.

Your best bet is flying into St. Louis (or Kansas City) and driving to Columbia. You could catch a morning flight into either of those cities and make it to Columbia mid day. Lambert (STL) is about 1.5 hours away, and KC Int'l is about 2 hours away. If you can't find anything in Columbia, look first to Jefferson City (20 miles from Columbia), than Booneville (20 Miles, Isle of Capri Casino). Beyond that you could look to Moberly or Fulton (both about 30 miles away). Alternatively, you could stay in a B&B in Rocheport, MO (15 miles away). A quick search on Kayak.com showed tickets for $300 from ATL to St. Louis.
Hope this helps, can't wait for Sept 8! MIZ.

I can't remember if you've told me your age before. Anyhoo, you have to be 25 to rent a car.

dude that is an insane streak
yea, my buddy and i went to the first 13 this year but we were worn out and i had a family issue keeping me from going to watch the bowl game and honestly it looks like it was for the better
i probably will go to all the games except the game in missouri

That link that pdiddy gave will have a connector in Memphis that is not shown. If those times work for you that is definitely the best way to go. COU is a very small airport so it is very hassle free and you won't have to make the drive from St. Louis or KC. Unfortunately the flip side is that flights are limited. Delta is the only service into Columbia (COU)and I believe there are only two flights in/out a day.

I didnt make UT, Vandy or the Bowl because of work issues. I want to go to UT really bad though. Need to cross it off my list.

I would somewhat advise against staying here. Bad experience.

For hotels, if you are flying out of St. Louis then Kingdom City or Fulton are close to I-70 but your options are limited. Kingdom City is just basically a truck-stop town, Fulton is a little bigger with a few restaurant options.
Jefferson City is bigger but a little more out of the way unless you are flying out of Columbia, in which case that is where I would stay. There is a Doubletree close to downtown which is decent and within walking distance to some restaurants and bars.

This is all good info from my fellow Mizzou posters, but I agree with the Hog. I wouldn't advise staying in Boonville, Moberly or Fulton unless you get pretty desperate.
Jeff City isn't a terrible option and is an easy 20-25 minute trip to Columbia.
I would also say fly into STL instead of KC if possible. KC is more of a hassle and a longer trip to Columbia.
