Tickets are extremely cheap as UVA students will be on break. Starting at $17 and front row midfield for around $50.
Anyone know what section at Scott Stadium is the SMU section?
Hotel Recommendations in Charlottsville?
The visitors sections are in the corner of the end zone on the right of the TV screen, directly opposite the TV cameras. They are in both the lower and upper decks. Your team will be staying in the Omni Hotel downtown, the only one in C'ville capable of handling that large a party. There are a lot of hotels and motels like the Hilton Garden Inn, Best Western, etc. Rooms shouldn't be too difficult to get. The Graduate by Hilton is on The Corner, the commercial strip directly across University Ave from the campus (which we call The Grounds). You'll get to walk through the oldest part of the University, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to Scott Stadium. Rooms there may already be gone. The team charter will fly directly from Dallas to C'ville, as the airport can handle 737- and 757-sized planes (Oregon, USC, and UCLA used 757s). If you are flying in from DFW, your best bet will be a flight to Dulles International in Northern VA, rather than Richmond or C'ville, and then renting a car. DC Reagan National probably has flights, too, but it can be a real pain trying to get out of town. It's about a 2 hour very scenic drive from Dulles to C'ville, major highways the whole way. For anyone making the drive from the DC area, be aware that Greene County is a massive radar trap along US Route 29, 100 kph on your speedometer (63 mph) is pretty safe. The deputies and state troopers know when it's gameday. It's pretty hilly coming from DC and easy to lose track of how fast you're going. The deputies and troopers supposedly have a rhyme, "At 9 you're fine. At 10 you're mine." Parking from the DC area is at John Paul Jones Arena and there's a shuttle to the stadium. The lots at Fontaine Research Park are used by people coming from the western, southern, and Richmond areas as they are close to I-64. Both parking areas are free.
