What 2024 road games are you planning on attending?
Rutgers - Sept. 28
Iowa - Oct. 12
Indiana - Oct. 26
Penn State - Nov. 9
Oregon - Nov. 30
I am planning on Iowa, Indiana, and Penn State. I did Rutgers in 2017. It is well worth the trip. I visited Philadelphia and the Jersey Shore leading up to that game. NYC is an obvious thing to do as well. I highly recommend visiting Rutgers once.
For Iowa I plan on flying in and out of Kansas City. Hopefully the Chiefs play at home on 10/13.
For Indiana I’ll fly in and out of Nashville and visit Mammoth Cave National Park on the way there or back.
For Penn State I am hoping the Bills play the next day. If not, also looking at Pittsburgh or Cleveland for games. I’ll most likely fly in and out of Pittsburgh or Cleveland.

Alaska has a direct flight to Nashville and even Cincinnati but Cincinnati makes it a bit tougher to see mammoth caves.
I need to check the dates but Keeneland runs a fall meet for horse racing here in Lexington. Less than 90 minutes from Louisville. -
Fall meet runs October 4-26. Definitely a fun day if you’re in the area.

Keeneland is definitely on my radar. So is doing some bourbon tours.

Do some research on the bourbon tours. Some are free, some fill up quickly or have limited offerings according to friends.
I’ve done two tours, 1 at a tiny distillery and the other at Heaven Hill which was a tasting and presentation about the distillery. -
If you're planning on Penn State:
Assume the game will be a White Out with a 7:30 start.
Hotels in State College are utterly stupid for games. $500/night, 2 night minimum. It's such a pain in the ass. Reserve something now if you can. RVs can be rented too; might be able to pull an Airbnb.
We've stayed in Altoona before; the drive sucks after the game but if you don't plan on stumbling out of there it is significantly cheaper.

If Hardcore Husky owned a horse, it would be called something like Ben Dover or Mike HuntCFetters_Nacho_Lover said:Fall meet runs October 4-26. Definitely a fun day if you’re in the area.

I have family a few hours away. But if it is a night game I will look to stay in Williamsport or somewhere west on I-80 such as Clarion. The NFL game I attended the next day will be the deciding factor in which direction I stay.whlinder said:If you're planning on Penn State:

So what you're saying is that your fellow Hardcore Husky posters can stay at your relatives' homePurple_Pills said:
