I see that there are already problems for people, who want to find a place to stay during the Eurobasket 2011 in Lithuania. That's because our country isn't the number 1 holiday destination in Europe, so there's usually no need to have a lot of hotels outside the capital city. But Eurobasket changes it all. 
So I decided to make a thread, where we Lithuanians could help the fans from other countries.
First of all, a few suggestions:
It might sometimes be hard to find a hotel in the city, where your team will be playing. That's especially truth for Alytus, Panevėžys, Šiauliai and to a lesser extent Kaunas. But Lithuania is a small country, so the distances between the cities aren't that big, the public transportation and the roads are good enough too. So you can always try adjacent towns: Klaipėda has Palanga and Nida, Alytus has Birštonas and Druskininkai, etc... For the final round, which will be held in Kaunas, you can stay in Vilnius - it only takes about an hour to go from 1 city to another.
Illegal2k10 made a suggestion that if your team plays in Panevėžys, you could stay in Anykščiai or Ukmergė:
There are smaller towns like these near all of the Eurobasket-hosting cities, feel free to ask any questions about them.
In the Official site of Eurobasket 2011 you can find some useful information and links.
There are a lot of sites on the internet which could help you find a place to stay:
http://www.tripbaltic.com/en/ - this is an official partner of Eurobasket 2011 and should be integrated to eurobasket2011.com on 15 June.
http://www.on.lt/hotels.htm - a lot of links there, and not only for hotels
http://www.maps.lt/en/ - you'll probably need this too (much better than google maps, for example)
http://www.priejuros.lt/en/ - this is an excellent link for people, who will support the teams playing in group D.
Don't limit yourselves to hotels: you can also look for hostels, privately rent houses/flats, etc... And feel free to ask if you need some help.

I've booked an apartment near Kaunas airport. It was much less expansive than in Kaunas and easier to find.
