Hotel Rates in relation to NFL Games



Many of you wonder, what effect Sunday night Football or Monday night Football have on hotels in cities hosting those games. Like any event, one would expect rates to increase around the stadium of the hosting city. However, it is quite the opposite when it comes to Sunday and Monday night games. Hotels are offering discounted rates on these nights as compared to other days of the week. The main reason being they are willing to discount rates, while wanting to maximize their occupancy levels. In hotel terms, raise the REVPAR. Also, Sunday nights in most markets are the slowest day of the week-thus to fill rooms, you would expect cheaper rates on Sundays irrespective of a night event in town. Sunday nights are similar to Tuesday and Wednesday for Airlines (slowest day of the week-where you get cheap rates). Thus, unless it is Super Bowl weekend, do not be scared of hotel rates if wanting to go see a game during the season. You are more likely to be paying cheaper rates. Go for it and root for your favorite team.
