<p>A cheap place to stay in Minneapolis during republican convention during sept 1 through 5th . My kid received the republican convention press clearance to cover the event as a person who will cover it for an Ivy League school newspaper. I am looking for a cheap place for my kid to stay. Since hotels are asking too much money, any parent willing to sublet for few days. Any serious suggestion is welcomed.</p>

<p>Is there a public transportation service in Minneapolis to travel to the convention site?</p>

<p>You need to be looking in St. Paul rather than Minneapolis. There are several small colleges close to the Xcel Center…Mac is very close as is University of St. Thomas…might be some students interested in subletting and fun place to be and interview students. Yes…there is public transportation.</p>

<p>new, go to the Minneapolis craigslist site & do a search on RNC. I saw quite a few rooms posted there. Let us know if you need advice for a specific location (like access to the bus system, etc)</p>

<p>Republican press credential also came through. Thanks my kid is trying to contact the Ivy alumni rooster. thanks for help. Kid is also very excited to be the part of the history as he is lucky to have credential to attend both the conventions. I am still surprised that how did he pull it through as we the parent do not know anyone in politics and have no connections what so ever.</p>
