People were camped at Jones park when we went in 2010. I don't think they have facilities but I recall a couple of tents. Ask Emac.

People have camped in Jones Park in the past. I assume this will be an option again this year. I will try to check and find out. There is also a campground on HWY 50.
I don't remember for sure what the Players Pack was last year.
I am thinking it was a DryFit, Hat, First Run Nuke SS?? There may have been more?
Players Pack for this year hasn't completely been finalized yet. I can assure you it will be Rad! I will try to post what it is when it is finalized.

The Budget Host is out on the east side and a bit out of the way. I've never stayed there, but haven't heard anything particularly good about the place.
I've stayed at the Motel 6 in years past which is just about seven blocks or so from Jones. For an economy motel, its pretty good. Lots of players stayed there last year.
They still had a $39.99 rate for one person. $6 for the second person. and $3 for each person after. That's before you use the PDGA corporate rate code, which knocks off 10%.
Note for any of you booking a motel. The PDGA offers discounts at some chains.
http://www.pdga.com/members/benefits
Motel 6 - 10% off
Wyndham Hotel Group - 20% off
WHG includes these hotels in Emporia...
Days Inn
Knights Inn
Super 8
All three of these are clustered on the west side of town on Highway 50, probably 2 minutes from I-35.
With the PDGA discount I came up with the following rates per night. Note, these are subject to change.
Motel 6 - 2630 W 18th
(1 queen or 2 full)
1 person = $35.99
2 people = $41.39
(2 full)
3 people = $44.09
4 people = $46.79
Days Inn - 3032 W Hwy 50
1 queen (1 or 2 people) - $47.99
1 king (1, 2 or 4 people) - $52.79
2 queens (2, 3 or 4 people) - $52.79
Knights Inn - 3183 W Hwy 50
2 double (full I would assume)
1 adult - $43.99
2 adults - $47.99
3 adults - $55.99
4 adults - $63.99
1 queen
1 adult - $43.99
2 adults - $47.99
3 adults - $55.99
1 king
1 adult - $44.79
2 adults - $47.99
3 adults - $55.99
2 queens
1 adult - $47.99
2 adults - $52.79
3 adults - $60.79
4 adults - $68.79
Super 8 - 2913 W Hwy 50
1 king (1 or 2 people) - $51.99
2 queens (2, 3 or 4 people) $59.99
If you are planning to book a room, I would advise doing it as early as possible. They are expecting up to 500 people in Emporia that weekend.

Thanks Scott!
I know that you posted you probably wouldn't be able to play this year because of work. If you can make it to E-town on Saturday or Sunday to spot I can hook you up with some GBO gear.

Budget Host Inn Emporia, KS
The whole town is 5mile range so you cant be that far out.
The rates from what I checked were
$30.99/person
$35.99/two person
They were queen or king depending on availability, based on reviews online Budget Host Inn Emporia is not bad value for price.
I've actually stayed here - (of 2 hotels I've gotten in the last 10 years). Best price in town I could find. Good place if you don't need any bells and whistles.
