Thank you to Brom for the introduction to this place. I have a question

[Branton]

for you guys. It’s been 18 long years since I’ve been to a game in Athens, primarily because I accepted a job promo with my company that required a move to Dublin. I was 38 at the time and the adventure sounded great, and proved to be just that. But my wife and I began missing home (and American healthcare) and, after accepting a demotion, lol, moved back to the good ol’ USA in March. 

We’ve taken up temporary residence in Blue Ridge to see if that’s a place we could call home. Which brings back to Athens. Are fans still able to stay in the Classic Center, or is it more just for parking? Their website is a little confusing. They offer “events”, but what I’m trying to put together is kind of a welcome back party for myself, lol, by inviting 9-12 of my closest friends, primarily children and family members. I can’t find an AirBnB big enough to accommodate us all and other options are so exorbitantly expensive, it almost seems not worth the effort. If anyone has any suggestions, this older guy sure would appreciate your input. I’m thinking about the Miss St game, or any game really where the prices might be a little more affordable than say the TN game. Thank you so very much for any input you might have.

Sincerely,

Richard Branton aka Dublin Dawg

Welcome!!!
I live in Evans..just outside of Augusta…about an hour and a half from Athens.
I am NOT an AirBnB expert, but my friends are. One thing I’ve picked up on what they do is to also consider an AirBnB outside of the location you’re planning on going to an event. For example….and I’m NOT advertising for them…but they own and rent 2 homes on Lake Hartwell that they’ve rented to people who travel about an hour to get to the games. (Not sure about that travel time). Seems like you could find a place a few minutes drive from Athens. If that works out, then you just need to find a good game parking spot
I’m sure there will be people on here that can give you better advice.
Good luck and GO DAWGS!!!!

Not at the top of my head.  I’m more of a first name kinda guy…and that’s not always reliable because I have have that CRS disease now (Can’t Remember Shit).
