The list of locations is here. They offer one from the Best Buy in Robinson, which is the closest location to the airport. If it's not accessible to you, then you probably want to consider renting a car, but be prepared to wait for ages to leave after the show.

Does "coming into town" equal flying in? Guess that's probably the case if you're asking about airport area. 
In general, a car would be more convenient (except for leaving the show, where it will be a nightmare), but it's not strictly necessary. The shuttle from Best Buy kipper mentioned leaves from a shopping area that's totally not pedestrian friendly, but there are some lodging places there that are nonetheless within walking distance of the Best Buy (and other places where you could get food or groceries). The best of that lot is the Springhill Suites http://marriott.com/property/propertypage/PITSH There's also if I recall Microtel and Candlewood Suites (I think those are the two) that are probably a little closer to the Best Buy parking lot and would have a bit less walking on the "main" road.
PS Small technical note: Best Buy is not actually in Robinson Town Center. The shopping center is in the next municipality over, on the other side of the main highway, and is called "The Pointe at North Fayette". Heh. But most people consider the whole area one thing and Robinson was there much earlier. So if you go looking for the Best Buy, it's noted as "No. Fayette" (store 584), 430 Home Dr, 15275
