United operates their hub out of Bush Intercontinental Airport in the north. Southwest operates their hub out of Hobby Airport in the south. Almost missing our flight because we were waiting in line for over two hours at the St. Louis Airport was not fun.
The two new rail lines that run right by the GRB are about to start operating in the next month or so. This may make more hotels easily accessible.
There are already systems in place to run shuttle busses from various parking lots outside of the downtown area to downtown venues such as the Rodeo (lowest attendance for a single day in 2015 was 48,177). If they make use of these systems, many more (lower cost) hotels would become easily accessible.
Perhaps our friends across town (118) can arrange for one of their sponsors to open their facilities for some tours?
