Booking for a playoff date: how it actually works
Playoff hotel demand in Sandy moves in two spikes. The first hits when a home game becomes possible (a series lead, a clinch scenario); the second — much bigger — hits the moment the date is official, usually just days before the game. Rooms near America First Field and in Sandy go first, then demand ripples outward.
The play: book a refundable room during the first spike, before certainty. If your team doesn't get the game, cancel free. If they do, you're holding a room everyone else is fighting over at double the price.

What airport do I fly into for America First Field?
Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) is the main airport, roughly 20 minutes from the venue by car in normal traffic. Expect longer on game days.
Which neighborhoods are best for a MLS playoff weekend in Sandy?

When should I book a hotel for a playoff game at America First Field?
