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.
