If your idea of an epic sports trip is watching the Blue Jays vs the NY Yankees, you're in luck.
If you're idea of EPIC is seeing all this in one weekend, you better sit down, take a deep breath and then find your credit card.
Will there be another year when the rivalries are this heated? Will the Jays be contenders next year?
Check out this schedule:
Now, since you're going to need some money for tickets and souvenirs, you might want to save $300 on flights, and instead of paying retail, cash in your Air Miles for the flight. (If you pay retail for the flights it's $420 if you book asap)
Cashing in your Air Miles will be at a very affordable rate of 1600 Air Miles and just $123 in taxes. You can put the savings towards tickets or the hotel.
A quick glance at Stub Hub says you can have game tickets for about $30 each. They won't be great seats, but you're in the building. (Also check Ticketmaster.ca for seats) So 3 games for about $100, plus flight tax, and hotel (split with a buddy) $300. Plus hot dogs ($11 each) and a few beers ($12 each) I'll estimate $650 for your epic weekend per person.
Worthy of the EPIC WEEKEND title, if you're a baseball fan.
Don't wait on any of this. as the pennant race heats up, so will ticket prices, hotels etc.
I've actually done this Blue Jays trip before and watched them play the Boston Red Sox, so if you have any questions, I have the personal experience to answer them. (We stayed at the Doubletree Hotel, a place we picked up off of Hotwire.) We had a great time, of course, there's something special about an MLB game that you just have to experience for yourself.
