Ryan Phalen Update On Maryland Trip

Thanks Ryan…

DC-
Thanks again for all your help- the bus to MD is nearly sold out and I’m working on securing a bigger bus to make room for more people. The Maryland game is rapidly approaching, and I wanted to make sure that everyone knew where our “home” hotels were going to be.

UMUC Marriott
We’ve sold over 100 rooms here and the hotel has sold out of its publically available rooms on Friday 9/14 and Saturday 9/15, so the only way to get in now is through the “Connecticut Football Fans 2″ block. The rate is $154/night for Friday/Saturday. You must book by August 16 to get this rate- after this date the hotel will raise the price further and any rooms available on our block will be sold to the public! I’ve got about a dozen king rooms for both nights left. If you’re booking online, the group code is “C2FC2FA”; if want to do it by phone, call Marriott Reservations at 1 (800) 453-0309 or (301) 985-7300 to make reservations, and identify yourself as part of the “Connecticut Football Fans 2” group staying at The Marriott Inn & Conference Center, University of Maryland University College, located at 3501 University Boulevard E, Adelphi, MD 20783-7998.

Courtyard Greenville
As a cheaper alternative, there’s similar availability at the Courtyard Greenville for $119/night, 6301 Golden Triangle Drive, Greenbelt, MD 20770. It’s about a 15 min drive from the other hotel/campus, but for $35/nt less I figured people would want something like that. http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/WASGR?groupCode=PFFPFFA&app=resvlink&fromDate=9/13/12&toDate=9/17/12
When you click on the link above, you will be directed to the property’s home page with the group code for a King already entered in the group code field. If you want to reserve a Queen, please enter PFFPFFB in the group code field. Next, enter ARRIVAL and DEPARTURE date to begin the reservation process. If you prefer to make reservations by phone, you can call reservations department at 1 888 236 2427 and ask for the Connecticut Football Fans Room Block at the Courtyard Greenbelt.

Let me know if people have any questions…football season is almost here! Can’t wait to see everyone again! Maryland tailgate info will be coming soon- I’m coordinating with several groups to make for another Michigan-style tailgate, and hope to see everyone there!

Thanks-
