I think they have an alt. channel.

I think they have an alt. channel.

They do. 665-1 and 665-2 but as of now it just says to be announced. You would think by now they would know if they were carrying the game on the alternative channels or not.

I would probably find an Airbnb with those hotel prices.

This is what I did. I have a hotel for Thu/Fri but Saturday rooms weren't available. Booked an Airbnb for a cheap price.

From what I was told, there is a very large "holiday" convention in town (Christmas decoration suppliers/retailers and such) at the convention center (which is very close to the Embassy Suites) this week. This is why we are seeing less hotel availability and high prices.....and just to add fuel to the fire, St. Louis City has a home soccer game Saturday night. The MVC tournament won't be the only show in town this weekend in STL.

I think the MLS team is on the road Saturday night.

All Thursday games will still be on NBC Sports Chicago Plus. You just have to use the Plus channel.

Yep....you are correct....my mistake.

The St. Louis Embassy Suites showed no rooms available as of this morning, but I notice now they are showing several types of rooms available.
However, be ready for "sticker shock". Here are their prices. Friday night of next week for a single queen-bed room is at $577 per night with a non-refundable reservation and a Hilton Honors discount- https://www.hilton.com/en/book/reser...om1NumAdults=2

The Embassy Suites, the Bradley team hotel, has dropped their prices each of the last 3 days. Today, they just dropped their room prices to as low as $277 per night, which is much more reasonable. And they appear to have lots of rooms available, including several room types. - https://www.hilton.com/en/book/reser...om1NumAdults=2

So if there are any fans who booked at a higher price or booked at a different hotel, consider cancelling (if you can) and re-booking at the Bradley team hotel. The reason I prefer to stay at the Embassy Suites is that they offer the best free breakfast, an evening cocktail reception, and access to all the team events.

Another update... After reducing their room prices each of the last 3 days, the Embassy Suites just raised their prices back up higher tonight. It still appears there are rooms of all types still available. - https://www.hilton.com/en/book/reser...om1NumAdults=2

The Drury Inn Union Station is where its at. The only thing missing is the team events, which isn't anything special anyway. You park for the weekend and can walk everywhere. Otherwise there is breakfast included and reception hour. Plus you have the aquarium and other Union Station things. Maybe the one down side is hoofing it up to Ballpark Village and back, but easily doable if able bodied.

I've enjoyed staying at Union Station before, its been a few years, last time was during COVID, but it was good. Rooms are nice and the old train station is pretty darn cool. Bar & Lounge area is cool, and the breakfasts are amazing.
