Doubleheader Digest

Although it’s too early to know any specific schedules, there’s always a chance that there will be college hoops, NBA, or NHL games happening in some of the host cities during the College Football Playoff. We’ll keep you informed once those schedules are released later in the year to ensure you’re making the most of your road trips.

Another potential doubleheader opportunity to keep an eye out for is the NFL playoffs, which will be in full swing at the same time that the playoff is underway. Because after all, what’s better than playoff football? More playoff football!
