So you and your buddies want to go see a home game for your favorite ISFL team, but when you go to buy your tickets you find out that the game is all sold out! (Because duh, obviously your team has the best fans in the league!) No problem, you'll just go see an away game! That should work much better, since the rest of the teams have awful fans who probably couldn't fill their stadiums if they handed out free beer.
But where to go? If you're going to see an away game, obviously it has to be a road trip. And at that point, might as well just make it a full blown vacation. See your team win, take in the local sites, stuff your face with the local food. It'll be great!
Just one thing, though; which away game should you go to? That's where we come in, your one stop travel agent shop for legendary ISFL vacations! Join us as we walk you through the best locales the ISFL has to offer, ranked from #14 all the way up to the #1 vacation destination!
#14 - Baltimore
Let's see, what does Baltimore have to offer? Umm...it's only 35 miles from Washington D. C.? Not really a Baltimore thing, though...oh, there's a musical that takes place there, including the opening song which prominently features the city's name! Except you can watch that anywhere. And you'd probably prefer to, quite frankly.
The fact of the matter is that Baltimore just isn't a happening place. Sure, there's some historical stuff if you're into that (highlighted by Fort McHenry, the birthplace of the U.S. National Anthem), and there is a connection to the Chesapeake Bay, but compared to the rest of the North Atlantic region of the country, it feels a little lacking. If you like cities, I'm sure there's something for you here. For the vast majority of vacation goers, though, Baltimore feels more like a footnote on the road to somewhere else. In fact, we would strongly recommend just vacationing in D. C. to enjoy the Smithsonian and government building tours, with your only foray into Baltimore proper being for the game itself.
#13 - Yellowknife
Friday night lights are so old fashioned and boring. Everyone has those. Why not play your football games under the Friday Night Northern Lights? And after the game, you can go hiking along the edge of the Great Slave Lake before retiring to your one of a kind room in the famous Ice Hotel. Heck, if you really want a story you can brag about to your friends, go to a Yellowknife game toward the end of the season and make sure to attend shirtless. You think Buffalo and Lambeau have harsh winter conditions? Try winter in the capitol of the Northern Territories of Canada! And maybe bring back a diamond or two, as the city is the hub for a few diamond mines in the region.
Aaaaand that's about it. Outside of the handful of novelty things Yellowknife offers that you can really only get in a handful of other places in the world, it's still in the Northern Territories of Canada. You know, desolate tundra wasteland? Covered in snow for most of the year? Even the diamond mines are located some 200 miles further north. So not exactly a day trip, given typical road and weather conditions in the region. And it's not like there's much civilization to explore in the area, either. One of the joys of being in the Northern Territories is that the nearest major population center is Edmonton, Alberta. Which is about 600 miles due south. The entire "city" of Yellowknife (if you can even call it that) is completely isolated.
Hope you like flying. Or at least like very long car rides.
#12 - Arizona
Yellowknife too cold for you? How about let's go to the opposite extreme; the desert southwest. Phoenix, Arizona, is one of the hottest places on Earth, rarely dipping below 100F in the summer and frequently reaching as high as 120F. Word for the wise; don't leave our handy tourism guide in your car as you explore the region. The paperback binding will melt. Trust me, I know from experience. With all that heat, however, comes the surreal beauty of the Sonoran Desert, including the region-exclusive saguaro cactus that towers over the landscape. If you happen to go on a slightly less sweltering day (and can carry several pounds of water), there's even a mountain smack in the middle of the city that you can hike up! Just be careful where you sit down to rest. You'll find yourself frequently sharing those shady spots with scorpions. And maybe rattlesnakes.
#11 - Austin
To be honest, there isn't a whole hell of a lot that makes Austin "special". It's just a decently big city in Texas. However, there's a reason it's becoming a popular getaway destination for those looking to just relax and have a good time. Austin has a lively music scene, a thriving brewery community, and best of all, it's all at a relatively low cost! Sure, living in the area is expensive as the housing market has absolutely exploded, but you don't care about any of that. All you care about is how many craft beers you can buy! And the answer here is "quite a few". There's some typical examples of "big city attractions" (museums, botanical gardens, etc) for those who are into such things, but if your goal is just to go watch your team play and relax, Austin could be the destination for you!
#10 - Philadelphia
There are certainly some...unsavory parts of Philadelphia that you'll want to avoid during your visit (unless your goal is to relive the Fresh Prince opening sequence). However, the City of Brotherly Love holds a special place for you history buffs out there. Much of the original groundwork to create the United States as we know it was laid out in Philly. Groundwork tied to such important historical artifacts as the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. The city also served as the original U. S. capitol until Washington D. C. was fully built.
Those less historically inclined have a few things to look forward to as well. Philly is renowned for its famous cheesesteak sandwich, and there's a raging debate over which restaurant houses the "real" Philly cheesesteak. Of course this means you're obligated to try each one to make an informed decision. Don't worry too much about overeating, though. You can burn off all those extra calories creating your own Rocky montage by running up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art!
#9 - Sarasota
Up to this point, it's been all about things to do at the destination cities. With Sarasota, it's more about not doing things. The Florida Gulf Coast beach town is all about relaxation, featuring an array of beaches to kick up your feet, lay back with your favorite drink, and snooze the day away under a nice umbrella. Just make sure to set an alarm so you don't miss the big game!
For those who get bored of just lounging in the sand all day, you can visit the beautiful Tampa Bay just a few miles up the coast, or go a few miles inland to explore the swamps of central Florida. Just make sure to avoid bumping into any manatees! Or gators. Really, just careful where you stick anything into the water.
#8 - Chicago
Chicago has a little bit of something for everyone! The city is renowned for its bold architecture, and even features a tour of some of the greater landmarks via boat ride along the Chicago River. The massive Millennium Park features all kinds of outdoor attractions, including its music pavilion, gardens, ice rink, and walking paths. Navy Pier is home to major events year-round. And of course the city features a wide assortment of world-renowned museums and night life options.
Where Chicago really shines, though, is the food. From pizza, to hot dogs, to Italian beef, the Windy City loves to eat (that Saturday Night Live skit was a bit uncomfortably accurate in its depiction of typical Chicagoans). The grease is not for the faint of heart, but for those who can live with feeling their arteries congeal in real time, the culinary possibilities are endless!
#7 - Berlin
Alright, so Berlin isn't exactly the most exotic of foreign destinations. It is still a great way to get out of the country, though. History buffs in particular will love the rich history the city offers, ranging from the relatively recent fall of the Berlin Wall all the way back to the country's Prussian roots. Having such an extensive history, the city also features several centuries worth of architecture all smashed up next to each other, creating an eclectic collection of sites and museums to explore. Be sure to try out the local cuisine while in town, along with some world-famous German ales.
#6 - New York
See everything I noted above about Chicago? Takes that, and make it more. The City that Never Sleeps certainly earned its title, with a truly impressive array of attractions that can keep you busy all day and night. Explore the observation decks of some of the most recognizable skyscrapers in the world. Enjoy world-renowned museums and sites, such as the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island out in the New York harbor. Attend a show on Broadway, the pinnacle of modern theatre. Eat at the flagship restaurants of some of the most famous chefs in the world. Go for a jog in the massive Central Park. Take in the mesmerizing lights of Time Square.
The Big Apple has pretty much anything a city-lover could ask for!
#5 - Colorado
Nestled right up against the base of the Rocky Mountains, Denver, CO, is truly the outdoorsman's paradise. The city boasts an assortment of gastro pubs, the mile long 16th street pedestrian mall, and even a sizable theme park just off the main drag of downtown!
And that's just a taste of the city proper. When you're done exploring the city, you can use your hotel as your base camp as you head west and explore all the mountains have to offer! The world-famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre lies just outside town. A little ways north, you can find the Rocky Mountain National Park. Or you can head south to the perilous switchbacks of Pikes Peak, the inspiration for the patriotic Purple Mountains Majesty. Or stop anywhere in between and climb several of Colorado's 58 famed 14ers (14,000 foot tall mountains, 58 being the most of any state).
And the fun isn't just limited to one season! Summer features lush canyons and gorgeous trails, with difficulties spanning all levels of hikers and bikers. Winter, meanwhile, boasts some of the best skiing and snowboarding slopes in the country. Make sure to bring your outdoor gear if you want to come to a Yeti game!
#4 - San Jose
San Jose certainly is not a vacation destination for those looking to travel on a budget, but for those who can afford to spend it can make for a trip to remember. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, San Jose boasts all sorts of technology based museums along with high end dining and entertainment. For those looking for a more outdoorsy experience, the region is called Silicon Valley for a reason; the mountains to either side of town feature a variety of hiking and biking options, accessible all year thanks to the city's oceanfront climate and 300 days of sun per year.
Speaking of oceanfront, San Jose sits at the very southern tip of the San Francisco Bay. Swing around the southwestern edge of the bay up the 101 and you'll find yourself in San Francisco proper! Known for its steep hills (Lombard Street), thriving culture (Chinatown, Railcars, Fisherman's Wharf), and world famous landmarks (Alcatraz, Golden Gate Bridge), you could spend an entire week just exploring this little corner of California!
But wait, there's still more! It's a bit of a stretch to be considered part of the San Jose experience, but at the far end of the San Francisco Bay sits a little place called Napa Valley. Yes, while living it up in the tech Mecca of the western seaboard, you can drive up the coast to indulge your inner wine snob!
As noted above, vacation packages to San Jose don't come cheap, but the experience is once in a lifetime.
#3 - New Orleans
If what you're looking for is just an immersive cultural experience, there's no place better than New Orleans. Few places in the world feature quite a melting pot of cultures as The Big Easy, prominently featuring French, Spanish, and African American elements in everyday life. This mesh has produced an abundance of rich history. Tour the famous French Quarter, imbibe in the legendary vices and nightlife of Bourbon Street, and enjoy the sweet, sweet sounds permeating the air in the birthplace of jazz.
Of course, what kind of cultural experience would it be without food? New Orleans is chock full of unique faire, featuring the one of a kind cuisine of cajun and creole cooking. Gumbo, catfish, and powerful spices make the trip just as rich for your taste buds as it is for your soul.
Another benefit of being the crossroads for so many unique cultures is the number of festivals celebrated in the area. There's almost always some sort of celebration parading through the streets, highlighted by the world famous Mardi Gras festival. Pick the right weekend and you might not even remember the game you came for!
#2 - Orange County
Mountains, beaches, movie stars, and perfect weather. Southern California is one of the most beautiful places on the planet, and Orange County sits right in the middle of all of it. Of course, the jewel of Orange County is Disneyland Park, but there's much more to the area than just the "Happiest Place on Earth" (including another theme park). Take advantage of the glorious SoCal weather with any number of outdoor activities, from hiking, to horseback riding, to mountain biking, to surfing! Or, if you prefer a more educational twist on your vacation, visit one of the nearby old Spanish missions. And when you're tired out from all your travels, relax on the plethora of sunny beaches along the approximately 40 miles of coast line.
Not enough to do for you? A hop, skip, and a jog up the coast brings you to Los Angeles. Of course, the City of Angels offers everything you'd expect from the second biggest city in the U. S. (fine dining, exquisite cultural museums, thriving nightlife, etc.), and even some things that are a little off the beaten path (the beautiful Catalina Island is but a ferry ride away), but the L. A. area offers something you can't find anywhere else in the world; Hollywood. Marked by the world-famous hillside sign, the heart of the U. S. movie industry lies just on the north side of L. A., offering a close up look into the blockbuster machine. Find yourself star struck as you marvel at the wonders of Hollywood Boulevard on your way to enjoy the Universal Studios theme park. Hop a suburb or two over and you might just catch a glimpse of the stars as they go about their lives in the prestigious Beverly Hills. You can even take a tour about the neighborhoods to see how the other other half lives.
Beautiful weather, beautiful landscape, beautiful people. What more could you ask for?
#1 - Honolulu
It should come as no surprise that our number one ISFL vacation destination is none other than Honolulu, Hawaii. The secluded tropical paradise offers the perfect getaway experience for everyone between its numerous islands. Take part in a traditional luau. Explore one of the many rainforests dotting the islands. Tour the renowned coffee and pineapple plantations. Star gaze like never before atop Mauna Kea's light pollution free astronomy club and telescope array. Enjoy the American - East Asian - Polynesian fusion foods at the crossroads of the Pacific Ocean. Hang ten at some of the gnarliest surf spots in the world. Observe the tropical marine wildlife through whale watching, glass bottom boats, and even a submarine ride. Learn the history of America's involvement of World War II through the Pearl Harbor National Memorial and Museum. You can even see watch an active volcano in action!
And when you're all done with exploring all the small island state has to offer, you can kick back and relax on miles and miles of tropical beaches. Maybe collect some seashells, or some sand from one of the famous black sand beaches. Just don't forget the game you came here to watch!

The International Simulation Football League, nor any of its affiliates, are responsible for events or actions taken during the duration of package deals, including (but not limited to): plane delays, hotel overbookings, poor weather, hypothermia or heatstroke, gang violence, angry old people yelling at you to get off their lawn, throwing up from eating too much food, getting bitten by venomous animals, falling off a mountain, getting Steve Irwin'd by an irked stingray, excessive hangovers leading to the creation of slapstick comedy movie scripts, or actually learning something about the local culture and/or history.
