This is the same hotel we stayed at in 2008. The rooms are $149/night, plus 11% room tax, for the intercoastal view rooms. If you want an oceanview room they are $169/night plus the room tax. Once I get the contract from the hotel I will notify you so you can call in and make your reservations with your credit card. I currently have 50 rooms reserved. Do not call the hotel to make your reservations until you are notified by me! The cost of the game-day ticket (we will be sitting in the lower section in the endzone), the bus transportation to the stadium and a commemorative tee shirt and koozie will be $150.00. I will need this entire amount no later than May 3rd. This is non-refundable due to the fact the tickets will be purchased on May 3rd. Please make your check out to Ravens Roost #44 and either mail it to me or drop it off at my residence.You are to provide your own transportation to Fort Lauderdale. If you are flying out of Baltimore you might check both Southwest and Air Tran airlines. Both offer non-stop flights from BWI to the Fort Lauderdale airport-which is less than 10 miles from the hotel. Southwest also have flights out of Philly. Thanks, Mike Grimes.
