Although this month's UFC 129 event has been sold out for some time, with a smashing record 55,000 tickets sold for the UFC's first stadium event, UFC fans have another option for seeing the card inside the Rogers Centre in Toronto.

The Renaissance Toronto Downtown Hotel, located inside the Rogers Centre, is offering fans a unique view of the event by booking one of their 68 stadium-view rooms for the night. Up to four guests per room can enjoy the night's action from the room, which includes sliding windows to open up the room to the stadium atmosphere.

For $1,300 ($325 per person with four guests), you can book the room for the night to be in attendance for the UFC's historic event, headlined by the UFC Welterweight Championship between Georges St. Pierre and Jake Shields.

This special event doesn't come without caveats, however, so fans should be prepared for increased security at the hotel for the event, a strict limit guests in the rooms for the event, and no outside food or beverages being allowed.

Full information on this unique viewing opportunity is available at www.RenaissanceGuestServices.com/campaign/UFC129

Penick's Analysis: They're limiting the rooms to four people per room and enforcing no outside food and beverage to keep things within what will be available to those inside the venue itself in terms of food and drink. And, they won't allow for big groups to then pile into the rooms to watch the card, which all makes sense. It's going to be a very interesting event overall on a number of levels, and for the potentially 272 fans that could get these rooms it will have an added uniqueness for a hotel stay.
