    It looks like I'm going to Greenville! There are still tickets available, I just picked up a few, if anyone was wondering.

    Interesting. There are plenty of seats still available for Columbia too.

    I will be there and booked a room at the Hilton, which is about 3 miles from the arena.

    aloft hotels are pretty nice...I think they are in the Starwood SPG group!
    Stayed in one in Jacksonville for the EV shows,
    and one in Nashville for the Band Of Horses shows at The Ryman.
    The rooms are a little small, but have great ergonomics...very contemporary design too!!!

    The two closest hotels to the arena would be Hyatt and the new Aloft. I'd say all the hotels in downtown greenville are within a mile of the arena. Going south to north on main street is an incline, fyi.

    Booked the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Greenville - Downtown off N. Main Street, it looks fairly close maybe a 3-4 blocks? Any info on this one?

    When I was booking with SPG points, the Westin and Aloft were both 10k points a night. The Westin looked like a classic hotel where Aloft is more contemporary..like a "W" hotel. We ended up booking the Westin because it feft like a better value.

    Oh yea, I forgot about that one....it also very close to the arena....kinda across the street from Hyatt...this is kinda the beginning of Main street as far as restraunts shops etc....if you hop Main street and walk south you will see everything....there are restaurants and stuff for the entire 1.5 miles south ending at Flour Field (minor league team for RedSox...Green Monster Replica stadium)


    If you head north from there brings you to Stone Ave....this is where Horizon Records/Bohemian Cafe...The Handlebar are located.

    I hear the Westin is pretty nice...I wouldn't be surprised if the Band stays there or the Hyatt. I don't think it is the nicest Westin ever but I heard it is nice. Aloft is brand new, pool on the roof....I always go with the newest places but that is my personal preference:)

    Downtown is so walkable and nice that anywhere you stay down there is a good spot.

    PARKING...for those of you that will not be lodging downtown...most of the parking downtown is free....parking garages are also normally free on the weekends. So if you want to checkout downtown keep that in mind. It is usually very busy during the weekends so that can be the only issue with parking.


    During events some of the parking garages near the arena will have a flat fee rate. Arena parking isn't too bad. I usually park in one the private parking areas for like 15 bucks located on adjacent streets. Easy in and out.

    is that why there is a full 2 day gap in between jax and greenville? very interesting point lolo...very interesting

    lolobugg said:

    anyone here think that they might add an extra show to Greenville? i know that it seems silly but pulling from ATL, WNC, Knoxville and Nashville would probably sell this date out pretty quickly. esp since it is on a weekend. the place isn't that big either. saw them there in 98.
    am i crazy to hope for this????

    If so, I hope it's on Sunday!

    If you really love craft beer Asheville is one of the best city's in the country. Eclectic, easy to get around. Very expensive to stay on weekends though. Try AirBnB
