WHERE TO STAY

Top hotels near Memorial Stadium

Lincoln offers a range of accommodations, with the best options concentrated downtown and in the Haymarket District, both within walking distance of Memorial Stadium. Expect premium pricing on game weekends — rates can double or triple compared to non-game weekends, so booking two to three months in advance is essential. Budget-conscious fans can find more affordable options along the I-80 corridor south of town, though you'll need to drive or rideshare to the stadium. The Haymarket area puts you closest to both the pregame scene and the stadium itself, making it the ideal base for a full game day experience.
