Brenan Hospitality Management Group is considering building condos near Michigan State University (MSU) for die-hard fans that don’t to stay in hotels when they go to games. The company is also looking at building similar condos in Ann Arbor.
According to excerpts from the article:
For many diehard fans, the condos are an opportunity to avoid sky-high hotel prices or the expense of maintaining a house or apartment near the stadium. The condos are also furnished and maintained by building staff.
On the weekend of the Michigan-Ohio State football game, a room at the Super 8 Motel on Jackson Ave. - about two and a half miles from the stadium - costs $139 per night, according to hotels.com. The next weekend, when there's no game, the same room costs $55 per night.
Mike Brenan is also working on a project near Michigan State University in East Lansing.
