I’ve spent 30 years chasing the open road in my RV, and let me tell you—it’s a wild mix of freedom and little surprises. One thing I never want to miss? College football. There’s just something about catching a big game while parked under a new sky.
With the college football season ramping up, now’s the perfect time to blend your love for travel and football. Let’s dig into how you can keep up with playoff predictions and games, even when your home base changes every week.
Why Following College Football on the Road is a Game-Changer
RV travel gives you freedom you just can’t get anywhere else. You get to see new places, chase perfect weather, and maybe even stumble into a festival or two.
But hitting the road doesn’t mean giving up your football fix. Thanks to today’s tech, you can stay dialed in to every play—if you plan ahead a bit.
Stay Connected with Technology
Honestly, RV life in the digital age is a blessing for sports fans. Here are a few gadgets and services that help you keep tabs on college football:
- Satellite TV: Lots of RVs now have satellite TV setups, so you can tune into live games from just about anywhere.
- Streaming Services: Platforms like ESPN+, Hulu Live, and Sling TV stream college football, but you’ll need a solid internet connection for smooth viewing.
- Mobile Apps: Grab apps like ESPN, CBS Sports, or the official college football app for instant scores and news, right in your pocket.
Planning Your Travel Around Key Games
If you really don’t want to miss the big games, it pays to plan your route with the season in mind. Here are a couple tips to make it work:
Check the Schedule
Before you hit the road, scan the college football calendar. Mark down the must-see games and try to be somewhere with good reception—or near a sports bar that shows the action.
Visit College Towns
Want to really soak up the atmosphere? Roll into a college town on game day. The buzz is contagious, and you might even get swept up in a tailgate or local fan event.
Making the Most of Game Day
Game day on the road hits different. Here are a few ways to make it memorable:
Host a Tailgate Party
One of my favorite perks of RV life is throwing a tailgate wherever I park. Fire up the grill, invite some neighbors, and stream the game right from your rig. It doesn’t get much better.
