What's the furthest you have travelled for a sporting event

I was going to say football but it could just as easily apply to any sporting event.

In the 90s my brother and I travelled up to Middlesbrough for a football match only to find the match had been cancelled before we got there meaning we had to turn around and come home again. We went back up the following week and the match was played.

@Jacko1971 it was the old Wembley stadium. That was bad enough. Ive only been past the new one on the train.
