number of rooms that hotels will set aside for a specific
future conventions.

- During the fall, weekend conventions can be impacted
by Baylor's football schedule. The schedule is set about
a year in advance, but can fluctuate. Special event
weekends in the fall, such as Parent's Weekend or Homecoming,
and some home football games, may increase hotel room
demand. Baylor graduation, in May, is also a special
event weekend.
