Where to stay for Marshall Football Home Games

Marshall Football Home Games is held on the six or seven Saturdays from early September through late November in September and October and November each year.

Huntington hotels tighten on game Saturdays but rarely close out entirely, so booking two to four weeks ahead is usually enough. Barboursville, Ashland across the Kentucky line and Charleston hold the overflow.

Barboursville, Charleston, Point Pleasant and Beech Fork State Park are the places travelers most often end up staying, rather than simply the nearest points on a map.

Huntington is where the event takes place, so it is the first place to look, and Barboursville, Charleston and Point Pleasant are where visitors generally end up once it is fully booked. Huntington hotels tighten on game Saturdays but rarely close out entirely, so booking two to four weeks ahead is usually enough.

Rates are typically higher than they are a week or two before or after the event, and minimum stays are common. Booking early is what saves money here rather than waiting for a late deal, because there is rarely any late availability to discount.
