Whiskey Pimp Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Our company runs 4 baseball tours and a hockey tour and I'm trying to put together the first ever football tour. I live in Canada so I need thehuddle's help geographically (you can sit this one out ABWF). I'm looking to see if it's possible to see an early game on Sunday, a night game Sunday and then the Monday night game while being on a motorcoach. Can anyone help me out with the schedule and geography on being able to accomplish this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone help me out with the schedule and geography on being able to accomplish this? Well, I'd think the best way to start is to find the closest cities that are hosting the Sunday night and Monday night games. From there, look at the schedule for the early game, and hit the stadium closest to the Sunday night stadium. Hitting the head now so I'll look a bit for you.

Washington, Philly, NYG/NYJ, and Pats all within hours of each other given good traffic conditions. EDIT: jhusted beat me to week 2 ... As an example, in week 2... GB @ NYG 1pm, SD @ NE 8pm, and Monday night in Philly for Skins/Iggles. Or week 9, WAS @ NYJ 1pm, DAL @ PHI 8pm, and BAL @ PIT Monday night. But that's early November so there's slim possibility of heavy snow. Edited April 13, 2007 by kingfish247 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Pimp Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 I think it may have to be week 1 with Saints @ Indy Thursday night, Steelers @ Browns Sunday night and Ravens @ Bengals Monday night with a trip to Canton in there on Saturday.

BillyBalata Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I think you have to try and do something the first 10 weeks of the season. Starting week 11, is when they can chose to change the game that is supposed to be the Sunday night game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Is it smart to send a Canadian to Philadelphia? Why do you all hate Whiskey Pimp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Pimp Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Is it smart to send a Canadian to Philadelphia? Why do you all hate Whiskey Pimp? Almost 90% of our clients are Americans. I of course would get to be the tour host sent on behalf of the company but would most likely be the only Canadian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Week 13 Seattle at Philadelphia 1:00 pm Sunday Cincinnati at Pittsburgh 8:15 pm Sunday New England at Baltimore 8:30 pm PHI is about 250 miles from PIT., so a stretch after the Eagles game ends.

peteteacher2001 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I could not even begin to imagine how full of food and beverage I would be by the time the Sunday night game came around. WOW, you either have a lot of willpower or a cast iron liver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Pimp Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 It would basically have to be early in the season in order to guarantee safe driving conditions. Week 2 was a great option but I don't think it's possible to get to NE in time after the Giants game. If I can pull this off it will have to be week 1 with the Indy game on Thursday , the Cincy game on Monday and then another Sunday game in the vicinity (CLE, STL, WAS, etc). I am proposing: Thurs - NO @ IND Sun - PIT @ CLE Mon - BAL @ CIN And then a trip to Canton on Sat most likely. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nice thing about the week 17 games is that the drive from NY to Philly is only an hour+...so driving conditions would not cause that much of a delay.

True but can't that Sunday night game get changed once those teams are no longer in any sort of playoff hunt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four days between Indy, CLE and Cincy when you don't have relatives to visit can be down right boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four days between Indy, CLE and Cincy when you don't have relatives to visit can be down right boring. Indy's got nothin', true enough, but head out early Friday to Canton - which really takes MORE than a day trip, but sh*t happens; you could overnight and spend Saturday there as well, or off to Cleveland you could do the R'n'R HoF and/or an Indians game, not to mention hitting the Flats (which has died down a bit since its heyday, but my buddies and I had a good time there) - then to Cinci, where IMO downtown Covington (across the river) was a pretty freakin' awesome scene. Ask the Cincinnati folk about their cornhole. I wish I could go on that trip. Edited April 22, 2007 by Chavez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampnuts Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I'd love to do this. My best friend who lives on the west coast and I are going to a football trip this year, and this would be awesome.
