Southeastern Conference Football fans are anxiously awaiting the upcoming football season, especially Aggies. Consequently, it should 
come as no surprise that hotels in College Station are already taking advantage of the expected influx of fans on game day weekends. According to an article posted in the Wall Street journal, local hotel room rates on game day weekend will increase by 89% and, in addition, many will require a 2 night minimum stay. With the average hotel room rate being $245 a night and their being eight home games… well, I will let you do the math!
My suggestion to this dilemma is purchasing a game day home. I have had several clients that have done this and they have been more than pleased with their investment! Some have purchased a home, while others have purchased a duplex, which allowed them to rent out half of the unit. I think either option is a great idea. Purchasing a game day home ensures you and your family a place to stay in Aggieland not only on busy game day weekends but ring weekends, graduations, parents weekend, and the list goes on! For some, their game-day homes have even become a gathering place for family during the holidays.
With this being said, purchasing a game day home in College Station is more than a way around high hotel rates, it is a smart investment. Not to mention, having a game day home ensures that your family can be part of the exciting upcoming football season here in Aggieland.
