The College Hunks Hauling Junk 2027 Reunion runs at the Tampa Convention Center, 333 S Franklin Street, from Tuesday 16 to Thursday 18 February 2027. The city record prints a 1 p.m. start on the Tuesday and a 7 p.m. finish on the Thursday and places the booking in Ballroom A-D and the meeting rooms.
Two arrival shapes
Shape one lands Monday 15 February. The team sleeps four nights, Monday through Thursday, and travels home Friday. Shape two lands Tuesday morning. The team sleeps three nights, Tuesday through Thursday, and travels home Friday.
Ten rooms on the four-night shape is 40 room-nights. Ten rooms on the three-night shape is 30. At 370+ territories, one delegate per territory puts peak demand at 370 rooms and 1,480 room-nights on the four-night shape.
Thursday stays in the block
A 7 p.m. finish leaves no same-day return for a team that stays to the last session. Put the Thursday night in when the rooms go in, and the garage count follows. A Friday departure keeps the vans on site for a fifth morning.
The garage takes the vans
The convention center garage at 141 E Brorein Street holds 454 spaces, 11 accessible, with two electric vehicle chargers and a 6 foot 6 inch clearance. Event parking runs $5.00 to $50.00. The non-event rate is $3 per hour against an $18 daily maximum.
Check the rental van's published height against 6 foot 6 inches before committing a fleet. Fort Brooke at 107 N Franklin Street clears 6 foot 8 inches across 556 hourly spaces. Pam Iorio at 301 Channelside Drive holds 790 spaces. Both allow overnight parking to 6 a.m., and the convention center garage carries no long-term parking.
Front Drive at 333 S Franklin Street is the drop-off, with 36 metered spaces at $4 an hour from 8 a.m. to midnight and no overnight parking.
Wednesday shares the building
The 2027 Hillsborough Regional STEM Fair runs at the convention center on Wednesday 17 February from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., per the venue calendar. The fair is free and public. Two events share the concourse and the garage on the middle day of the reunion.
The airport run
The routed drive from 333 S Franklin Street to the Tampa airport terminal measures 8.5 miles and about 19 minutes.
Rooms near the hall
The venue publishes its own walking table. Embassy Suites by Hilton Tampa Downtown Convention Center at 513 S Florida Ave connects by sky bridge. Tampa Marriott Water Street at 700 S Florida Ave and JW Marriott Tampa Water Street at 505 Water Street sit 0.2 miles out. The Westin Tampa Waterside sits 0.3, The Tampa EDITION and Hilton Tampa Downtown 0.5, and Hyatt Place and Hyatt House 0.5.
None of those properties publishes a rate for reunion week. bookMyTeam publishes group rates from 10 rooms a night, reaches 50 or more hotels per destination, returns quotes within 24 to 72 hours and takes no commission markup.
Questions for the organiser
Ask for the session start behind the printed 1 p.m., and for any Monday item. Ask for the room block, its cut-off and its rate, the registration fee and the meal plan. Ask whether the STEM Fair changes the hall assignment or the loading window.
Booking order
Reserve the rooms first. Ten rooms a night reaches the group threshold, and Thursday goes in with the rest. Choose the garage on clearance and the overnight rule. Book the vans against the Friday return, then set the airport transfer against a 19-minute run.
