It has reserved a 3,000 room block. CIAA is telling fans to go to the organization's website to book a room. The hotels that are participating have agreed to keep prices under control.
The commissioner says so far about 70% of the rooms are gone. CIAA wants more rooms booked.
"We're hoping in the next week," the commissioner said. "We will have a very clear understanding what the room block looks like, so we can use that as a template moving forward."
