Last year, a team flew to ROA and then was picked up at LYH, likely due to lack of hotel space. I'd like to see the community benefit as much as possible from our shift to a level where airplanes are more common than buses. It would be nice for hotel tax revenue to stay local rather than in another community.

It must have been cheaper for whatever reason.I did the police escort for visiting teams from the hotel to stadium for the past two years. Most teams (all but two) stayed at the same hotel downtown. None of them were super happy about it, but it was the only one large enough to host the meeting and team spaces needed. NMSU stayed at the Virginian on their second trip here as they were so disappointed in the normal hotel and one other team (can't remember) stayed in the Hilton garden inn on Wards but weren't thrilled with how close to campus they were. So having few choices likely played a role in FIU staying in Roanoke.
