Travel Information

        Airports:

                        You may want to fly into South Bend (SBN) near the Friday / Saturday venues, then go home from Detroit (DTW), near the Sunday venue.  Another option is Kalamazoo (AZO) which is somewhat central between the Fri/Sat and Sun  event sites.

 

            South Bend (SBN) is served by Allegiant, United, American, and Delta, and has nonstop service to Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Newark, Charlotte, Atlanta, Dallas-Ft Worth, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Tampa, Orlando, and Ft Myers. 

 

            Kalamazoo (AZO) looks like it has connections mainly through Chicago, Detroit, and Minneapolis, by American, Delta, and United, with one XO Jet flight from Santa Rosa.

 

Hotels    

 

            The best lodging options for most people will probably be to stay Friday night in the South Bend or Plymouth area, then drive Saturday afternoon to stay Saturday night near Brighton and the Sunday venue.  Of course our South Bend hotels would love to have you stay both nights, but you’d need to start driving pretty early Sunday to get to the Sunday site.
