Hey All, First of all I hope you are all enjoying this tournament, but I have a question about where to stay and transportation. So I have tickets for Italy vs Ireland in Lille, and Iceland vs Austria in Saint Denis. They are on the same day. I am thinking to book a hotel somewhere in the middle between those two cities and somehow maybe by taxi go to both places. Does anyone have a good area about halfway between Saint Denis and Lille to book a hotel in. Also will there be any busses around there from the area I might be staying at, or should I just take taxis?
There's quite a driving distance (at least 2 hours) between Lille and Saint Denis with a little over an hour before the start of the next match. Do you plan on being in the stadium for both games, or just outside at a fan zone for the second one?
In stadium for both games. I didn't mean to do this on purpose, but I wanted to follow both Italy and Iceland as Italy is my country, and Iceland is my second team. Depending on how the first game goes I am thinking of maybe leaving a little early? Also I don't mind being a little late for Italy vs Ireland because we probably already won the group. Is it allowed to arrive late to the stadium or they don't like that? Never done this before. I usually like to be there 30 min prior to the game. I am sure I will miss part of at least one game.
I also didn't realize how far apart these stadiums were. I thought it was more like 60-75 min drive. Oh well, I will have to miss part of one game.
