We were there for the George Strait/Chris Stapleton/Little Big Town concert at Jack Trice Stadium. We were not able to check into our room until after 5:00 PM, which made us late for the opening act, and which I found VERY irritating given that we were price severely price gouged on the room at over $500/night!!!! The only excuse we were given was that they were short staffed on housekeepers. Other than that the room, location, and onsite restaurant (which was also understaffed -- very short sided as they had to know of the size of the event that day) were all great.
