Can I stay in a non-T1 Housing approved hotel? / Can I stay with a family member instead of booking a hotel room? / Can I book at a different hotel from my team?
The general answer to all of these questions is “yes.”
- The minimum amount of guest rooms required for all teams is always several less than the typical roster size for players and coaches.
- Having Team Based requirements allows for any of those exceptions on an individual basis. However, each team is still required to book the minimum amount of rooms and nights for their group.
- If you have a specific family that plans to stay outside of a T1 Housing rooming block, please coordinate that decision with your team’s housing coordinator.
- There are no exceptions to the Team Based minimum requirements for these situations.
