The problem with that approach is getting back out to wherever you are camping at 3 am drunk out of your mind after pro night, club night, and the banquet. MUCH easier to stumble back to the hotel room and pass out there with no worry of getting a ticket.

NASTY! But probably a good idea. Leave your hands off the remote too!

It blew my mind how quick the closer hotels sold out that fast. We had to book at The Crowne Plaza 10.8 miles away!
