September 21-24th weekend

[frenchblueC2]

Now that the NFL schedule is released, we're looking into where to go this year. We wanted to stay in the northeast to save a bit on flights and such.
We're looking into the Sept 22/23 weekend to see the Nats and Redskins play.
Hopefully we can get decent prices on tickets, especially since it's the last weekend for the Nats at RFK.

I was trying to figure out where to look for hotels.
I was thinking maybe in Rockville or Laurel to be slightly outside of DC, but also closer to the airport (we'd be flying into Baltimore).

Any advice or input you'd like to toss our way would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

1. Which air port will you arrive at? BWI? DCA?
2. Will you rent a car or not?

I can give you some recommendation if you are flying in BWI and rent a car.

I live in Laurel. Its pretty nice not too much traffic and your 1/2 way between DC and Bmore. To get to either ~30 minutes depending on traffic.

Check this Comfort Suite. It's close to BWI and the facility is really good that my coworker cannot stop praising this place.

Create an account on line. Book the dates you want. Then go to www.expedia.com or www.cheaprooms.com search for the same hotel. These sites will have a price much much lower. Within 24 hours, go to this for the best price garantee and they not only price match, but give you 10% off the lowest price (not 10% of difference).

For example, their price: $105 per night.
You search on line and found the same dates for $40 per night (because it's still several months away so the price could be really low)
Send the URL to them with in 24 hours of booking. They verify it, and honor the price match for $36 per night. The best thing is, not like the fare search engine sites, you can still cancel the reservation 24 hours before and would not charge you until you really check in. The search sites usually are not refundable and charge your credit card right away.

We originally wanted to do Baltimore this year, but the baseball and football schedules don't have home games in the same weekend. darnit!

Thanks for the hotel advice! awesome.

Don't forget the Orioles either!
It's even closer to the Camden Yard from the hotel to the RFK.
