[Cynnabar] Fwd: [Mid] Fall Crown Tourney

[Johnna Holloway]

This is the Ohio State-Illinois game, so it will be a sell-out.

Just a word of advice--
Anyone who finds a room in the Champaign-Urbana area at this point might
want to check the quality and rating of the hotel through TripAdvisor  
before paying $$$.
When I checked in April, there were almost no rooms at the better  
hotels. The local no-tell motels still had some rooms available
at greatly inflated prices, but I am unsure if anyone would want to  
actually spend
a night there.

People might try for Danville to the east, Tuscola to the south, and  
Rantoul to the north as possible choices. With football traffic  
heading into the game, you are looking at perhaps an hour-90 minute  
commute into the Union and central campus. Parking on campus will be  
another hassle of course.
