It found they’re actually more expensive than those in Houston for the Super Bowl.According to Trivago, it costs about $450 for a one-night hotel stay in Punxsutawney. That is compared to the $340 for a room in Houston.Shadow or not, the average rate drops by more than $300 the day after Groundhog Day.

You know, while very few things can match the pageantry of watching a large rat predict the weather, I just don't think that common needs to worry that Groundhog Day is going to, ahem,, overshadow the Superbowl.
