NFL Travel Assumptions
We are taking a modest two-person trip approach and working with a reasonable $2,500 budget for each game on our list. ($1,250 per person) The forecasted budget does not include the costs that are necessary to arrive and return from your game day destination, such as airfare or a train ticket.
I’d love to go. But tickets to #German #NFL games sell out faster then lighting. And the added cost of fights and hotel pushes it out of my budget sadly.

Our Travel Criteria
We worked off a point value system. Points were awarded to games that met our defined criteria; games that obtained the most points were considered NFL travel worthy. As we compiled our list, we concluded that we would only select one game per week and that a host team can only be selected once. Teams may appear more than once on this list but not in their host city.
The criteria worked with included: Â Â
- Is the host city a top 10 US-traveled city?
- Prime Time Events earned more NFL travel points than those that were not.
- Did the Game Day Event DATE have any national significance?
- Historical Significance or modern awe with the host stadium
- Projected starting QBs and their star power.
- Divisional / Rivalry Game
- Projected Playoff Team
- Average Hotel Cost UNDER $250 Per Night and LESS THAN - 10 Miles From Stadium
- Average Ticket Price UNDER $200 Per Seat
The 2023 NFL Travel List
Each week we will be compiling and updating our list on a weekly basis! Ultimately we will be starting with #18 and working our way down all the way to #1.
#18 = Green Bay Packers vs. Las Vegas Raiders / Week 5
#17 = Kansas City Chiefs vs. Jacksonville Jaguars / Week 2
#16 = San Francisco 49ers Vs Arizona Cardinals / Week 15
