I went through booking.com and tried Oct 3-4 and then went to every individual hotel site to make sure and they all said not available. Is there a 2 night minimum? If so, forget that crap.
Most are NOT booked. They are blocked for 2+ night minimums at this point. You can (legally) book 2 nights and check out the first morning. Unless they require pre-payment, you have been a prick but they have to just wave good-bye. Sometimes 'medical emergencies' require you to leave, too.
I must have typed too fast...
Went to book my hotel today for the Arky game within walking distance of the stadium and every single one of them is booked. $*^&, every good hotel is basically already booked 7 months in advance. Trying to figure out where I should stay and where I can park on gameday that isn't too far of a walk. Any suggestions? Guess I should have hopped on this sooner.

This will be a game that really scares me. We are really undersized on the DLine until our FR DLine guys are ready to play. Arkansas has a bigger Online than most NFL teams and are really physical. If Allen becomes a better passer then they are going to be hard to stop. They also play really good D and were a play or two in every game except Auburn and easily could have been 11-1 and playing in the SEC Championship. They completely shut down A.Cooper and Alabama's offense along with most everybody else. This game somewhat reminds me of how fans were in the preseason who were counting Ole Miss as a win. This will be our second hardest game at the worst next season. And with Ala replacing all they are on offense it could be our toughest. JMO on that and games are all about matchups. Arky will be a team we don't match up well with right now. That could change by time we play them and will depend on adding more size to our DLine. But as it stands right now with what we have coming back as starters on our DLine it is a matchup nightmare. Fortunately we get them at home but home field hasn't been much of an advantage of late. I can't stand Bielema and think dude is a whiny bit#& but I give him credit on his coaching last yr. They found ways to lose the games they did, especially Ala, Mizzou and A'M. But once they got that first SEC win and gained confidence they were pretty much unbeatable.
Ended up getting a room at Mainstay Suites about 6 miles from the stadium. Guess we'll have to drive in super early on gameday and hope we find decent parking. If all goes well my husband may not want to stay anyway after we beat those little piggies up and down the field. (He's a Raiseyourback Fan)
Did you take in the fact how many guys they lost this year to the draft and graduation? Sure they're running game will be good but they lost a lot on defense.
Arkansas lost some key components of our defense, and I'm still concerned about our secondary. This game worries me, and it will be a long 10+ hours drive home if we lose. I am encouraged with our tight ends/running game/OL, and although our QB is no star, I am confident in his ability to manage the game if he stays healthy. We shall see.

Here in Arkansas, their fans are every bit as confident in their rebuild as we are. From what I've seen and heard, a lot if not the majority aren't even looking at Tennessee as a serious threat. They see us more as another middle of the pack team to get through before they get to the Auburn's and Alabama's. Now we may be that, but so are they and while we had the 2nd ranked class in the SEC, they had the 12th. This will be a great game, and one that we need to win for the perception of our rebuild.
I haven't come across that from Arkansas fans here. Most of the ones I know acknowledge Tennessee is right up there with them if not better due to recruiting and they are worried about this game. I honestly think they are going to come in to this game confident, but we are going to embarrass them.
