Question for you Michigan people, do you day trip to the event or get a hotel close by and deal with the cost? Due to how far our district will let us take a school bus the big expense for us is hotel unless we go "far" away.

Honestly, it depends on the team. For some of the Detroit-area teams, there are almost three districts within a twenty minute drive (you only go to two), while the UP teams near Michigan Tech have 9.5 hours to get to Traverse City, and then they have to get to another district (probably West Michigan, an additional two or three hours, my estimate).
My team, on the outside corner of the Detroit metro area, has one within fifteen minutes and then two within about forty minutes, so no hotel is neccessary. However, once it is an hour or longer (the state championship), we get a hotel.
