    I’m not even American but I don’t see anything extremely out of place here. A 12h drive is doable in one day with a couple of rests. Assuming you stay for 2-3 nights at your destination.

    If you mean going back right after the game, then hell no.

      Bingo. Especially if you have a group of 3-4 that help split fuel, it’s immensely cheaper and arguably more fun. Plus, you’re not restricted what you can bring with you, you can stop to eat wherever you like, and you already have personal transport when you arrive. But, like you said, it’s really only worth it if you’re staying a few days. If you’re just going somewhere for a night and need to get back the next day, flight all the way.

        Road trips with friends make driving bearable. I’d never drive 12 hours alone (again) but I’d jump at the opportunity to do something like this…just not for sports

      People tend to underestimate the scale of the US. The distance from (what appears to be) Oklahoma City to Cincinnati, is roughly the same distance as driving from Brussels to Warsaw.
