We can't wait for the safe return of fans to Lambeau Field and to host you on a Packers weekend in 2021! The Packers, one of the NFL's most storied franchises, are part of the fabric of the community in Green Bay. Their legions of loyal fans create one of the best game day atmospheres in football and we're excited to share it with you this season!

As tour leader at Sports Traveler, we get to experience every event along with our guests, but with a slightly different perspective. When I'm on tour, I'm trying to stay a few steps ahead of every moment of the day we have planned. It's hard work sometimes to keep up with everyone, but I love the people I meet on our tours. Still today, after 18 years of seeing so many fans at so many different games, I absolutely love it. 

My Sports Traveler teammates love to share our stories from the road. We realized that after 18 years of hosting tours, we also had a large collection of stories from our guests, too. Recently, we started to read through their letters and emails. The stories were so awesome and there were so many, we should probably consider publishing a book at some point. But an overall theme started to emerge. Yes, we travel for the game and to see the team and maybe even to tour the stadium. But biggest reason we love to travel are for The Stories.

We were so inspired by all

Before we get into the heart of this month’s travel blog I feel it would be best to introduce myself to you all. My name is Jake Alleruzzo, the newest addition to the Sports Traveler staff. I myself have a very deep passion for sports travel and thought writing our latest blog entry would be a great way to share my experiences with you fellow sports travelers.

About a month ago I took a trip to Missouri to a beautiful region called Lake of the Ozarks, located just a few miles south of Kansas City. Being in the far western edge of Missouri is quite a unique experience, considering the mixed fandom between Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals fans. While we were in the western tip of Missouri I could have sworn I was in the heart of Kansas City as I drove through town and saw Royals flags hanging about. This goes to show you that you never know what kind of fans you can find as you travel through any given town.

Now going through this town you would figure there is not much to do besides

There are only 2 weeks left in the NFL regular season and the playoff picture is beginning to fill out.  So far this season has been full of great story lines that generate lots of excitement for some and loads of disappointment for others.

On the historical side of things the Green Bay Packers started off the season 13-0 on their way to possibly being the first repeat champion since the Patriots ('04, '05).  Unfortunately the team hit an unexpected road block this past Sunday on their way to perfection.  Their first loss of the season came to the 5-8 Kansas City Chiefs who were just coming off a week where they fired their head coach Todd Haley.  Go figure.  Although the season is far from over, the 2011 Packers loose out on football immortality by coming up short in their quest for 19-0.  Either way the goal for any NFL is to win the Super Bowl.  If you go undefeated while doing so its a bonus, but no one cares what their record is after the Super Bowl champion has been crowned.

This past Tuesday police officials in London began conducting security tests for the 2012 Summer Olympics.  In order to prepare for every situation the London police have teamed up with the Met, UK Border Agency, and other surrounding police forces.  At this point there has been 600 million pounds set aside for the operations of all security during the 2012 Olympics.  The 600 million is just a piece of the reported 9.3 billion pounds that is required to host the 2012 Summer Games.  It has also been reported that the Olympic Security committee will use up to 12,000 officers at the peak of Olympic traffic.

Summer is in full force and so is the NASCAR regular season.  After 17 races the Chase picture is beginning to take shape.  Kevin Harvick established a lead early on in the season and has held on to the top spot for the most part and will essentially be able to cruise into the Chase.  With only 9 races remaining there are several teams that will be using the "make or break" mantra for the remainder of the regular season.  Currently the standings show Tony Stewart

The NFL lockout is a hot topic in the sports world this summer, but the impact of the lockout can potentially spread much further than the NFL. Current rumors predict that the lockout could be coming to an end by July 15.  If these rumors hold true than there will be practically no harm done to the League. Player development might be hindered but if the entire 16 game season lives on then everyone is happy. However, if the lockout continues into August

The 2009 World Figure Skating Championships in Los Angeles was a thrilling experience for me last week. It was my first trip to see this championship and it did not disappoint. This competition was the qualifying round for various athletes and countries looking to compete at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games.

The United States had a team of 15 skaters lead by Chicago native Evan Lysacek - who went on to win the Men's Event with one of the most extraordinary long programs I have ever seen him skate. Featuring two solid triple axels (one in combination), Evan didn't need a quad to pull off his first World Title against the best male skaters in the world. Other highlights for the US team were the silver medal rebound of ice dancing team Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto and the fantastic 9th place performance of Caydee Denney and Jeremy Barrett that brought the crowd to their feet. The final night was headlined by the ladies battle of the Asia with Yu-Na Kim of Korea and last years champion Mao
