1. Grab the schedule. Don't just look at the home games. If you are travelling anyway, keep an open mind as to location. It might be out of your price range to see the 49ers at home, but what if you travel and see them in Phoenix?
2. Identify the cities with easy access airports. Where can you get a direct flight from your own city?
Phoenix, Denver, Chicago are easy to get to from Winnipeg and reasonably priced. (under $500 is good, a great deal would be $360)
3. Now grab the hockey schedule for your preferred city and see if any dates line up. Think Saturday night hockey and Sunday afternoon for an unforgettable weekend. If you're lucky enough to go to Phoenix, the arena and stadium are on the same property and there are several hotels in the immediate area. Too easy.
4. Check out the flight prices. Do you have Air Miles or other means to get the flights at a reduced price?
5. Hotels can be found by looking at google maps of the stadium area, or there are usually local hotels listed (and sometimes discounted) on your team's website.
6. Tickets. You can grab those of Ticket Master. They offer a guaranteed ticket resale service with their Ticket Exchange. You can pick up both NHL or NFL tickets this way. I personally have used Stubhub.com and have always been very very happy with my tickets and have never had any problems. Any time I've picked up NFL tickets, they have come by courier in 3 days or less.
7. The last step is the countdown! How many days before the epic sports weekend? There's an app for that.
See how easy that was! You might even see history made. (I was lucky enough to see Peyton Manning throw career touchdown #509 and break Brett Favre's record)
I can't wait to do another football trip. So much fun!
