Travel planning tips for Warhawk fans planning to travel to Texas this week

If you are planning on flying down to Saturday's UWW at UMHB NCAA III national semifinal game the following information may help your travel and lodging planning.

Most people fly into Austin, which is about an hour due south of Belton. Lots of hotel, eating and entertainment choices in the capital city.

There will be many more flight options such as flying into DFW. The weather will be conducive to making the trip from the Dallas area, though traffic can get hairy on I-35. The trip from Austin via car is much easier. Probably not too many choices flying into Killeen, but I have found some decent fares in the past. Killeen has a nice, relatively new, terminal.

Not a lot of hotel choices in Belton. Killeen has quite a few and Temple has added some in the past few years. Killeen is about a 20/30 minute drive to the stadium, Temple 10/15. Salado is just 10 minutes south of Belton and has a couple of newer hotels - a Best Western and a Holiday Inn Express. Salado is well known for its arts and antique stores.

Much more info will be blogged as it becomes available.
