Game Day

Homes within reach of the stadium for three college football towns this fall: Tuscaloosa, Athens, and Boone.

Curator

Picked homes whose managers already sell the weekend: game day in the listing, the stadium named, parking mentioned. Not a ranking. Three towns to start.

College football weekends are the one trip where the housing market already speaks the guest's language. In Tuscaloosa a manager calls itself Game Day Rentals and puts a garage game room with two televisions in the listing. In Athens a listing says football fans and Sanford Stadium in the first line. Boone is cabins twenty minutes out and a Thursday night game.

Ten homes, three towns, all professional managers with their own booking sites. Each links to the manager; you book with them. Big remaining home dates are under each town.
