Posted by: | Comments
Many of us in the Greater Valley Area are counting the days until the opening kick-off of this year’s college football season. Fifteen days for those who aren’t counting. The Auburn Tigers are ranked No. 23 in USA Today’s preseason poll and appear ready for the challenge to compete for SEC supremacy.
The Tigers open their season against Arkansas State on Saturday, September 4 at 6 p.m. CT at Jordan-Hare Stadium, just 25 minutes from our two hotels near Auburn, The Hampton Inn and Suites in Lanett and the newly remodeled Holiday Inn Express in Valley. Convenience and a direct, easy drive south on I-85 puts you close to the action without the heavy game-day traffic. Making reservations is easy by visiting the Hampton Inn or Holiday Inn websites, or calling 334-576-5400 for the Hampton Inn and Suites, Lanett, or 334-756-2000 for the Holiday Inn Express. Book early as rooms this close to Auburn fill quickly on game weekends.

Designed to provide an attractive border, cut the impact of wind on the game, add privacy and reduce distractions and glare for players, the windscreens have been a big hit. Read More→
