$4,500 per night Hilton, Marriott rooms within 35 miles of Georgia vs Alabama game sold out for 2024 in Tuscaloosa

The Georgia versus Alabama game next season is building quite the hype for itself. Interestingly, hotels in Tuscaloosa during the weekend of the Georgia- Alabama showdown were selling at a staggering $4,500! But this did not deter fans from making arrangements to cheer on their favorite team, as every Hilton and Marriott in a 35-mile radius of Tuscaloosa has reportedly sold out.

Amongst the hustle and bustle of this season's College Football Playoff, the SEC recently announced the details of the Georgia vs Alabama game to be played next year at the Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa. This year's SEC Conference championship game between these two teams had 17.7 million viewers, so you can imagine the excitement that the showdown instills in the minds of fans.

This goes to show that high prices of accommodation did not deter fans from splurging to watch their favorite teams in action on the gridiron. After Alabama thwarted Georgia's hope of three-peating the national title by defeating them in this year's SEC Championship game, the 2024 game scheduled on Sept. 28 is certainly going to be one where the stakes are high.
