I am sad I am going to miss this game for the first time. If you want a nice place to stay then stay at the Westin. I usually get my tickets off of ebay and have never paid more than the original price.
Just booked the Hilton Atlanta on Hotwire for $80 a night. The cheapest for that place was $120 on priceline. So I saved over $90 - not to bad. Now I just need some tix. I saw some for $65 in section 132 row 4 (SE near the endzone). Not sure if that is worth it or if I should wait?
