Sports abroad: The Best Places to Visit in the US for Sports Fans


Taking a family holiday to America may be something that you have been eager to do for some time. Once you’ve saved up your money, and want to look into booking flights and accommodation, you may need to finalise your destination. To do so, it could be a good idea to consider what you want to get out of the trip. For sports fans, this could involve the chance to see or learn about different sports which you may not be witness to at home.

Basketball fans

For any basketball fan, whether you love playing or watching, you may want to consider New York as the place to visit. Here, you can find Nets price tickets, which may be far more reasonable when booked in advance. Not only can this guarantee you a seat at the game but, by looking in advance, you could also figure out some specific dates that you would like to travel. In addition to this, booking tickets online, using a reputable company, can help to prevent you from losing your money to scalpers or scammers. You may want to also research how to get to and from your hotel to the stadium, so you can be sure of transport routes and leave yourself enough time.

Surfing fans

Although the UK gets some nice weather, it may not compare to that of certain parts of the United States. Due to this, and favourable waves, there may be many more surfing competitions on offer there. One city in particular known for hosting these is Oceanside, California. In 2023, you may be able to choose from watching the USA surfing championships to be held in June, or even the Nissan Super Girl Surf Pro that is going on in July. Regardless of which you choose, you may get to take part in the excitement of seeing different professionals show off their skills on the water, and enjoy some sunshine at the same time. Due to the heat, it can be important to ensure that you follow the recommended safety procedures for spending time in the sun, such as applying sun lotion regularly, and remaining hydrated. This can help you to gain more out of your day and avoid feeling unwell.

Rodeo fans

The rodeo isn’t something we see within the United Kingdom, which is why a trip to Texas could be a must for those who have an interest. Each year, Houston holds their Livestock show and rodeo, which attracts a significant amount of attention. Alongside the sporting event itself, you may also get to see big artists perform live at their concerts, take part in trail rides yourself, and eat a lot of local food. This will only be its second year back running after the coronavirus pandemic, which may make it feel even more special.

Each state, and city, found in the United States may have different sporting opportunities for you. Figuring out which is most important to you can help you to choose your next destination.
