FSU worst hotel price hikes on Gameday Ranking

FSU fans have known this for years. 

1) FSU has the highest hotel price hike (2 night minimums at most places).

2) FSU is the most remote location (within 200 miles) on the east coast.

You will often see FSU fans critical of FSU fan base.  I think if you understand the statistics, you realize it is amazing what FSU does with gameday and it's fan base attendance.
