We have identified a hotel for the night we return to Birmingham, Saturday, October 28th. I have reserved a block of rooms at the Red Roof Inn, 1813 Crestwood Blvd, Irondale, AL 35210
If you want a room that night, you must call them at 800-733-7663 by September 28th and tell them you want to reserve a room for the night of the 28th using the block code: B361Legacy. The rooms are $120 for a king and $129 for a double. Unfortunately, because of the football crowd (see more below), you must pay at the time of booking and it is not refundable if you cancel. The game has, obviously, also affected the price.
As I said in my previous group email, if the room rate is too much for you, the LLP will refund you the difference between that the $99 rate we thought you could get at the Holiday Inn and this rate.
If you'd rather stay somewhere else, and can find a room, don't feel obligated to stay with others that night.
If you're sharing a room, make sure only one of you reserves for that night or you'll both have to pay. If don't yet know who your roommate is and you need a room for that night, contact me and I'll make sure you don't both book. It's also possible to share a room with someone else for that night if your trip roommate doesn't need to stay over.
We plan to send the roommate assignments and trip roster out to everyone in the next few days so you can connect and make decisions about it.
For those of you who care about such things, I've discovered it's not just any football game, it the Magic City Classic, an annual American football "classic" which features Alabama A&M University and Alabama State University, the two largest historically black universities in the state. So there you have it.
Let me know if you have any questions.
