It’s pro-football season across the U.S., and if you’re heading to an NFL game, you’ll need a convenient place to stay. Some stadiums are so close to these hotels that you can walk to a game; others are just a short Uber, cab, or train ride away.
Some are 5-star, most are luxury, and all are great choices for lodging before and after the Big Game. Be sure to check hotel websites for special packages and deals, and book early, because all of these hotels sell out fast during football season.
