The stay will be on land
The Goodyear blimp will be parked at a hanger which is near the Goodyear HQ in Akron, Ohio. It will have a bed, a couch, two chairs, some tables and various other accouterments. There will be a private football lounge with a television where the guests will be able to watch college football games. It will also have an open bar for the guests to enjoy a few drinks. The guests won't be permitted to leave the property during their complete stay. They can, however, roam around in nearby locations such as the Wingfoot Lake.

Cool, great, love it, love you. But guys, you’re doing too much though. All I want is a ride. Like I’ll still do it, but it’s just not the same

I was wondering the same thing, and it looks like no. It's going to be at rest in a hangar. Booooo!
