IM Wisconsin hotel room needed

I have put off booking a room since I only live 45 minute away but things would probably be better on my family for a hotel room on the 8th and 9th of September. In 2005 we waited until the last minutes and had no problem getting a room 10-15 minute from Monona Terrace. I have noticed many times in the past that people who dropped from the race posted rooms available on this forum. Anybody out there have a room before I book one. There are still many available but I am looking to get one closer if possible. Thanks
