I'd start with the Columbia hotels. They may be filled now, but as of a month ago, despite what I've read here, I was told by someone who runs some hotels in Columbia and Jeff City that they are NOT booked up.

And Columbia is fairly green friendly right?

You mean recycling, right? Kidding. Yes, a personal amount isn't a big deal, just a ticket. But if you have enough to distribute, they'll throw the book at you.

A couple of weeks ago, a poster here found a room at the Travel Lodge. And there are a couple of brand new hotels on the east side of town that may not be full yet.

ETA: this website will have a good listing of hotels you can try: Columbia Visitors website

To the Georgia Fans trying to catch the Cards Game. You need to drive to Columbia Friday Night. Do not go on GameDay or you will have a 3-4 Hour trip. There is guaranteed to be a few random construction projects on I-70 so after the baseball game leave ASAP. Go to your hotel in CoMo and sleep a litle later until the tailgate.

WOW!!! Great itinerary. You will see three very different towns and three different (but all wonderful) sports experiences.

For STL, find parking ahead of time and hang out downtown until game time. You can long walk or short cab between casino, arch, bars, and ballpark. The bar at the top of the Hilton overlooking the stadium is worth checking out.

Columbia - If you don't have good stadium parking pre-arranged you'll have to wing it with the tailgate. I would travel light and park near campus (near the alumni center is good). Head downtown for food and drink (I agree with the Booche's and Shakespeare's recommendations). Then walk around campus and cut through greektown to go to the game. It would be a lot of walking but there should be plenty of cute coeds along the route to take your mind off your sore feet.

KC- I would recommend getting to Arrowhead as early as possible with all your own food and drink and chairs if possible. Once you are on the lot there are no bars or restaurants except the concessions. If there's time Saturday night the Power and Light district downtown is a lot of fun. If you want some KC BBQ, LC's on Blue Parkway is one of my favorites.

Sounds like a great trip.

Thanks for the help guys.

Only other question I can think of is what is face for a ticket? They're expensive online now but I should be able to get one from the UGA ticket office since I'm a senior.

I'd cut the tourist thing short in St. Louis, it's really not a very nice city to tour...


But there is the Arch, the brewery, and Grant's Farm (the latter two having some of the famed Budweiser Clydesdales).

IIRC so does the brewery. They also have non-alcoholic drinks (I don't drink but I loved touring the place).

You'll probably be alright. I doubt the demand will be too high. My roommate freshman year got an Okie St away ticket with 0 hours credit.
