About FootballStay

Last updated 7 November 2026

FootballStay helps American football fans plan a game weekend: which home games will fill the town, where to stay by the time from the bed to the gate, and where to go when everything nearby is full.

Who runs it

FootballStay is an independent site run by a small editorial team. Pages are signed "Editorial team". We do not invent authors or credentials, and we do not publish reviews or testimonials.

How a page is made

• Every fact comes from a source we name on the page: the school, the stadium, the transit operator, or named local press. Each source shows the date we checked it.
• Walk and drive times are routed on OpenStreetMap with no traffic, and labelled that way.
• Ratings follow a published rule: how we rate weekends.
• We use AI tools to research and draft. A person reviews every page and checks every fact against its source before it is published.

How we make money

When you book a stay through our links we may earn a commission from our booking partner, Stay22, at no extra cost to you. It never changes how we rank places to stay. Affiliate disclosure.

Corrections

If something is wrong or out of date, tell us. We fix it and add a dated correction line to the page.

FootballStay is an independent guide. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the NFL, the NCAA, any conference, university or team. Team and stadium names are used only to describe where games are played.
