The Union and most local hotels book up many months in advance for football/special events weekends. The best advice is to book as soon as you find out you need to be in Bloomington, whatever the reason.

We were caught in this same bind when my son was a freshman. We were able to get a room 20 minutes up Route 37 in Martinsville at the Holiday Inn Express. It was comfortable and not that far away. Normally, we stay at the Hampton Inn on Walnut.
