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.

I once went from San Francisco to Sacramento to see a women’s football game. One of my friends was a player.

About 75 milles; an hour and a half drive nonstop.

@bijouxbroussard Your mention of San Francisco reminded me. (Not that I am a sports fan) We did fly from Melbourne, via Auckland to SanFrancisco at the time the Americas Cup yacht race was being run in SanFrancisco Bay. And did watch the sail boats while there..😷

@bijouxbroussard I once stayed with friends in San Francisco. They took me to Santa Barbara. We stayed the night and drove back the next day. I think it was about 4 hours either way.

@whowasthatmaskedman always nice to see. Tall Ships is good too when you catch it.

@Jacko1971 The downside was a 747 totally full of Kiwis all the way (It was the Kiwis challenging.. And they won)😷
