NFL Football is BACK!
The NFL’s 2018-2019 season begins on Tuesday, September 6 and fans are gearing up to see their favorite teams hit the grass! After last year’s season wrapped with one of the most entertaining NFL Super Bowl Performances in history, we may be entering one of the most highly anticipated starts to the season yet.
Enthusiastic Eagles fans will be anxiously awaiting the first game of the season to see whether last year’s Super Bowl champs and the new team roster will have what it takes to land a spot at the Big Game yet again. On the other hand the New England Patriots will see if the mighty Belichick/Brady duo can deliver a master plan to reclaim their champion title after having won the Super Bowl in both 2015 and 2017, and suffering a devastating loss in the 2018 game against Super Bowl rookies, the Philadelphia Eagles.
Between trades and injuries, all teams have slightly different constellations this year, but commentators and fans are already speculating on season favorites, and which games have the potential to be the most entertaining.

In an survey conducted by Ticketmaster, it was reported that nearly 30% of NFL fans are willing to travel 100 miles to see their team on the road, while more than 20% said they would be willing to travel more than 500 miles to see their favorite team. Furthermore, with a reported 90% of fans believing that their energy influences the outcome of the game, we think it’s important for travel consultants to do their best to get diehard football fans into the games where their presence is needed the most! Take their experience to the next level by supporting them on game-day by participating in their favorite fan ritual and sharing it on social media with a hashtag that uniquely represents you and your travel agency. If you have a client base that ranges in age, keep in mind that GEN Xers are most likely to attend a game with their spouse, whereas Millennials and Boomers are most likely to catch a game with their buddies.
