How many are there now? 5?

 

These are listed on the All "A" Classic website as places to stay if participating in the golf tournament:

 

Hampton Inn

Best Western

Holiday Inn

Days Inn

Red Roof Inn

LaQuinta Inn

 

Assuming rougly 100 rooms per, that would be 600 rooms. Four per room means about 2,400 people could stay. That would likely be enough, but might be cutting it close.

Best Western

Comfort Suites

Days Inn

Econo Lodge

Hampton Inn

Holiday Inn

Red Roof Inn

LaQuinta Inn

Jameson Inn

Knights Inn

Super 8

Quality Quarters Inn

 

Plus there are 6 or so in Berea...a 10-15 minute drive from the Stadium. Accomidations would not be a problem

I'd get a tetanus shot before staying in the Quality Quarters Inn

No matter what you opinion is on the location, I really don't think hotel space is going to be a problem.

What happened to the Thrifty Dutchman?

I would say that you are exactly right Ram. I will say it will be $$$$$:thumb:

So there's enough rooms for 32 teams during the All A classic but not for what 8 teams for this?

 

Traveling football squads sometimes need rooms for as many as 100 to 120 people. It's a little difference in terms of rooms per team. From what I have been told, usually only about half of the teams, sometimes less, use overnight accomodations. It will probably be higher in Bowling Green. It's probably a variable that needs to be nailed down. Biggest question about Richmond is are they going to expand seating on the far side? Football games with all of the fans on one side have seen some issues in the past. I can remember when the 4A games in Cardinal Stadium were held during those last couple of years when the far side stands had been removed, and there was definitely a need for increased security. Plus, does EKU have an area like PJCS or Bowling Green where the high school coaches can buy a "premium" seat and get in out of the weather? This is the one time they get to reward themselves with something nice (sort of like, but not the same as the basketball coaches at Sweet 16) and have a great long weekend.

 

Just curious. Maybe some of the pro-Richmond knowledgeables can share info.
