Hilton Garden Inn Old Town Scottsdale. Walking distance to bars and restaurants.

Scottsdale - old downtown has a ton of bars and nightlife and Scottsdale is just so much nicer than Phoenix and Tempe

Yeah, but Scottsdale is the home of an incredible number of annoying people.

I recommend the Camby, which is a former Ritz Carlton. Very nice Autograph collection hotel that is very conveniently located off Camelback Road.

I stayed more or less across the street from where y'all were at a place called Xona Suites. Decent place and funny enough a good TCU friend turned out to be managing the place. Just about [ Finebaum ] my pants when I saw his name on a board there (I knew he was in the hospitality business and figured it was him).

We wandered over to the Princess one morning and saw GMFP leading the team out on some excursion (probably practice but who knows).

What was disappointing about the Fiesta Bowl was that outside of a trip to Fogo de Chao on New Year's Day, there were no other planned team activities that the bowl put together. So it most likely had to have been a practice.

For the Poinsettia Bowl and Rose Bowl, it seemed like we had a team activity every day. In San Diego we went to the zoo one day, an indoor go kart track one day, the USS Midway one day. Rose Bowl, we had a bowling alley rented out for us on Christmas Day, Disneyland the day after, Lawry's, a comedy club, Clippers game.

A whole lotta free time for the Fiesta Bowl trip.

I'll be slumming it down near the airport. I'm probably going to be mugged. That's ok, all worth it.

Does the TCU travel package include a free mugging? Happy to provide one if you’re looking for that as part of your bowl experience

You could probably put it that way.

If it in any way help the frogs win, then yes, go for it. I'll carry loose cash.

Did a CLE once at a Hilton resort in the mountains north of town. Nice place, quiet, and had a good bar, so we booked there. Ubering to the game and afterparty.

You did a Cute Little Eskimo?

Not at that conference that I recall. But as I said, they had a good bar.

Stayed there when TCU played in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl against Michigan St. Very nice and convenient location to what you listed.
