For those Miami fans attending the GMAC Bowl

Where should we fly into?

Where should we stay?

What should we do?

Thanks
From my experience

Fly into Biloxi-Gulfport from Dayton. Very cheap

I stayed at the Best Western Battleship right on the gulf and about 10 minutes from the stadium and 5 from downtown. I got a room for $29 off the internet before they went up to $100+

Definitely check out the Mardi Gras parade and the Pep Rally the night before the game. It's a lot of fun! The USS Alabama Museum is neat.

1. Can't tell you about flying. I'd just get on the internet and start surfing around. Don't forget discount carriers like Jet Blue and Southwest because they're usually not on Orbitz. Flying into Mobile is usually pretty expensive. Check out some of the airports such as Biloxi or Pensacola that are within about 2 hours of Mobile.

2. I too stayed at the Best Western Battleship Inn. Book before the rates go up. The cool thing is you can walk from the hotel to tour the U.S.S. Alabama - definitely worth doing.

3. As has been mentioned, go to the Mardi Gras parade and party the night before the game.

4. Wish I could remember the name of the restaurant we checked out based on recommendations from other folks. It's about 3 miles outside of Mobile proper on the side of the BW Inn. Whatever road it's on, you go out and turn right. Go about 3 miles. Maybe someone else went there and can remember the name.
