The Ladder the Venue Publishes
The Florida State Fairgrounds partner list names seven properties for the Spirit Clash weekend, each with a Distance field. Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tampa Fairgrounds Casino reads 0.2 miles. Wyndham Garden Tampa Fairgrounds/Casino reads 1.5. Staybridge Suites Tampa-Brandon reads 2.7. Hilton Garden Inn Tampa East Brandon reads 2.8. Courtyard Tampa Brandon reads 4.4. Cambria Hotel Tampa-Brandon reads 5. Hampton Inn & Suites Tampa East reads 5.0.
Seven entries, one field, five miles of spread. The distance ladder is the only property-level number the venue publishes for this event.
What the Partner Page Leaves Blank
The page carries no dollar figure. It lists no nightly rate, no group block, no cut-off date and no booking code for any of the seven. A buyer who needs a number for the night gets it from the property.
One Day, One Gate
Spirit Clash runs Sunday, November 8, 2026. The Details block prints the time as All Day. The same page carries startDate 07:00 and endDate 19:30 in its event schema. The hall is Entertainment Hall. The gate is the US Highway 301 entrance, Gate 1. The street address is 4800 U.S. Hwy 301 N, Tampa, FL 33610.
The venue holds no call time for teams and no door time for spectators. Ask the organiser for both before signing a room, and put the answer into the request.
The Spectator Line
Spectators pay $25. Kids 3 and under enter free. The venue prints those two lines and no family rate, no multi-day rate and no advance discount.
Parking, Priced Twice
The event page reads $10 online and $12 onsite. The portal product Spirit Clash - Parking Only is dated November 8 and carries the terms Good for One Time Entry and Enter Thru US Hwy 301, at $10.00. No $12 product sits on the portal. The banner states parking does not include event entry and each ticket covers one parking entry.
A party that arrives, leaves for a meal and returns holds one entry from one purchase. The second entry is a second purchase, so that pattern prices at $20.00.
Pricing the Sunday Night
November 8, 2026 falls on a Sunday. The night before the competition is Saturday, November 7. A Sunday night covers a Monday departure.
No source on this row prices either night. Hilton Garden Inn at 2.8 miles publishes no rate. Courtyard at 4.4 miles publishes no rate. The partner list prints zero dollar figures across all seven entries.
The first quote from a property is the first published number in the chain. Ask two properties for the same night, in writing, and hold each to its own figure.
The 0.2 Mile Entry
Holiday Inn Express & Suites sits directly across the street from the Fairgrounds, by the venue description. The distance field reads 0.2 miles. A party lodged there holds no vehicle leg to the gate and buys no parking entry.
Ask that property for the Saturday night first, then ask what it holds for a two-night stay.
Two Fields Against Their Own Prose
Wyndham Garden prints Distance 1.5 miles and describes itself as just one mile from the Fairgrounds. Hilton Garden Inn prints 2.8 miles and describes itself as less than 2 miles. Quote the field, and ask the property to confirm the walk in writing.
Four Events, Two Gates
The parking portal lists four products dated November 7 or 8. Fall RV Show runs November 5 to 8 through US Highway 301 with an $18.00 oversized-vehicle line. Repticon runs November 7 and 8 through Highway 301. Gem & Mineral runs November 7 and 8 through MLK. Spirit Clash runs November 8 through US Highway 301. Every general parking line prices at $10.00.
Spirit Clash shares its entrance with two other events on November 8. Prepaying fixes the price at $10.00. The gate rate is $12.
When to Walk Away
Three conditions end the conversation. A quote with no room block behind it carries no hold date. A quote for two nights when the event runs one day carries a night the party does not use. A room rate with the parking term left open leaves the vehicle line unpriced.
Ask for the nights, the room count and the parking term in one confirmation. A property that declines to put those three lines in writing has answered the request.
Camping as a Third Route
The venue runs on-site camping for area events and states event camping is open for all Fairgrounds and area events with the exception of the annual Florida State Fair. Reservations require a minimum of 48 hours notice and payment online in advance. No nightly rate is printed.
A party travelling with a trailer books the site two days before arrival.
The Florida Restriction
hotelhaggle.org cannot take this request. The seller of travel page, last updated October 21, 2026, lists Florida among four states where the platform cannot process hotel booking requests from residents of or for travel to that state. The page records the status as not currently registered as a Florida Seller of Travel and cites Chapter 559, Florida Statutes. The restriction covers grouprooms.org, hotelhaggle.org, hotelslots.org, bookmyteam.org and partners.hotelhuddle.com.
The room request goes to the property sales office. Questions on the restriction route to compliance@hotelhuddle.com.
The Number to Quote
The distance field is the quotable number at this venue. Seven properties span 0.2 to 5.0 miles with no rate behind any of them. Quote the ladder, then ask for the rate in writing.
