Good Monday 11/12dubbers!!

So I had a dream... that I would be in Columbus this November 26th when UFM and our beloved OSU Buckeyes lay waste to the traveling circus we like to call ttun in the Shoe.

I'm thrilled to report that I have procured 2 tickets to the afore mentioned sporting event and I could not be more pumped!!

Now comes phase two. I need to book lodging for The Game. My thought is to come in Friday and get a room right near The Horseshoe so I can enjoy a little Columbus night life Friday night and then all I have to do is roll out of bed Saturday morning and soak up a full unadulterated day of Buckeye Football!! 

So I'm asking those that have traveled this path before me:

Where do I want to stay the Friday night before The Game to get the most out of my experience?

Thanks in advance for all the knowledge!!
