We are staying at the Four Points Sheriton at the Pittsburgh Airport. It is about 16 miles from the show. Got on Priceline and got a room for $99.

Last year I stayed at Baymont Inn & Suites in Weirton, WV. There is also a Holiday Inn in Weirton. Weirton is only about a 10 minute drive away from Post Gazette...they are both right off the same highway. Holly has both of these hotels listed in her sig line.

This year I will be staying at the campground called Benett Acres...it's just a few miles down the road from Post Gazette. If anyone needs any more info on the campground, let me know.

it's not a KOA campground. apparently they do have cabins, but i've never seen them before...we just always stay in tents. there are a lot of parrotheads who stay there as well. the good spots fill up fast though on the day of the concert. they do have showers...there have been a few years where the showers were not open for the buffett show, but the last time i stayed there the showers and bathrooms were open for anyone to use. here is their website...it makes the place look a little nicer than it actually is...but, it's close to the venue and there are usually a ton of parrotheads to hang out with before and after the concert, so, it works for us.
