The room rate for Monday-Thursday is $59; however rates increase for Friday and Saturday. On Friday the room rate is $139 and Saturday it is $219. Reservations must be made by Jan. 9, 2020, in order to receive the discounted fan rate.
 
The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino fan rate is $99 plus fees and that rate is available Monday through Saturday. The Hard Rock is located 1.2 miles from Boardwalk Hall.

"With both teams positioned for success, we hope that our fans will start making plans now to join us at the MAAC Basketball Tournament in Atlantic City in March," said Director of Athletics Don Harnum. "The conference membership, including a strong voice from Rider, has worked hard to establish a neutral-destination site that is competitively fair to all teams and provides multiple entertainment options for fans."

In addition to the amenities at each hotel, fans can learn more additional 2020 MAAC Basketball Tournament details as well as various information on all the things to do and see in Atlantic City next March while rooting on the Broncs.
