Discounts for College Football Fans
Fans who are not around for football's biggest night should consider coming to Dallas to enjoy a favorite college football match-up. Dallas provides more to fans than great southern football tradition; it boasts grand hospitality and a variety of hotels for travelers headed to the area.
Fans looking to stay in the heart of historic downtown Dallas should consider the Magnolia Hotel Dallas. Rates start as low as $98 per night, and the location offers great access to Uptown, Downtown and nearby sporting venues. One hotels.com guest reviewer said: "The Magnolia is beautiful, its staff is friendly, and the amenities are awesome. The complimentary breakfast is awesome, and happy hour is very good. Perfect location downtown. I highly recommend this beautiful and historic hotel."
