Many of you might already know Mike Stuben, as he's been a USF Athletics ticket sales representative for the last 15 years. Mike left USF just last month, which is bad news for the Bulls as his passion and talents will be missed. But it's great news for us and our readers, because we're going to put him to work around here where we can.
Mike has been traveling to Bulls games wherever they are played since before we even had a football program. The overwhelming majority of the time, he's done it on his own nickel. But the travel bargains he's found over the years have become legendary amongst his friends. And if a bargain or great deal to a Bulls destination pops up this summer, we'll let you know about it... as soon as we book it for ourselves first.
Closest Airport - IND Indianapolis, IN - lots of great deals into Indy. My target price for a roundtrip from Tampa to Indy would be $185, but at times it drops even lower.
Alternative Airport CMH Columbus, OH and CVG Cincinnati, OH and DAY Dayton, OH all can work, but no need to look very far, always great deals into IND.
Hotel Thoughts - Take some time to think about staying in Indianapolis vs. Muncie. Muncie will give you a college town feel. Indy will have lots more to do and many more hotel options.
Things to do - A tour of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is a great couple of hours. The official tour includes a lap on the track (as a passenger on a bus). The NCAA is headquartered in Indy, so is their tourist attraction, The NCAA Hall of Champions. I'll also mention that downtown Indy is a great model of a thriving downtown with shopping, food, drinks and sports all in walking distance to each other.
And check out Stuben's advice for Temple after the jump:
Closest Airport - PHL - Philadelphia, PA (non-stops from Tampa on US Airways and Southwest)
Alternative Airport(s) - BWI - Baltimore Washington isn't too far down the road, between these two airports tons of good deals exist. NY airports will work too. If you want to center your trip around Atlantic City, then take a look at Spirit too.
Hotel Thoughts - First you have to pick if you want this trip centered around Philly, DC, NYC or Atlantic City, plenty of hotels in each of those cities. Remember to consider parking costs if you stay downtown.
