bobbie7- I'm really only interested in the spectator sports travel
marketplace. The articles that you have referenced are referring
mainly to participant sports.
I'm specifically looking for information regarding travel to the major
professional sporting events as a spectator, like the Superbowl, World
Series, Masters, etc.....
