Luxury meets location — right in the heart of College Park’s downtown and within steps of the stadium. Great choice if you want to stay in the center of the action.

A stylish, newer boutique hotel located about a mile from SECU Stadium. It has a modern design, excellent service, and a rooftop terrace that makes for a great pre- or postgame hangout spot.

A micro-hotel near the National Mall with a modern industrial design and surprisingly fun atmosphere. Great for younger fans or solo travelers who want a budget-friendly but trendy base near College Park.

• Tailgate on Route 1 & Campus Drums. Lots fill up early around SECU Stadium — fans set up tents, grills, beer, and music along the primary tailgating zones.

• Ride the Metro. Because of traffic and parking crunch, using the College Park-U of MD Metro Station (Green Line) or ride-share often saves time and stress.

• Feel the Terp traditions. Marching band, the “Testudo” mascot rituals, and the fans in red, black & gold give this venue real Big Ten energy.

• Proximity to D.C. means after-game options. Postgame, if you’re still rolling, you’re minutes from downtown Washington for dinner or night life.

• Pack for variable weather. Late-season games in Maryland can bring winds from the Potomac, so layers and windbreakers are a smart move.

SECUStadium is located at 90 Stadium Dr, College Park, MD 20742
