WHERE TO STAY

Top hotels near Bulldog Stadium

Most game-day hotel options cluster along Shaw Avenue and the Highway 41 corridor, both within a 10–15 minute drive of campus. Budget-friendly chains are plentiful in Fresno, while a few upscale options exist near the River Park shopping area for fans wanting dining and nightlife within walking distance of their hotel. Book early for Pac-12 weekends, as inventory tightens quickly when traditional powers visit. Expect rates between $100–$250 per night depending on the tier and timing.
