There MLB on the 24th, Philadelphia Phillies at home to Baltimore Orioles.
Personally Baseball isn't my cup of tea, but you can't beat drinking bear and eating hotdogs in the sun.

Being a brit in North America is hilarious because nobody here bats an eyelid at a 7-8 hour drive in one shift. I've left work on a Friday at 3pm and driven 7 hours to revelstoke to snowboard saturday and sunday, to drive back 4/5pm Sunday another 7-8 hours.
Back home, I can't convince my mates to drive from Saltdean to Worthing for the day! I'm driving to Santa Cruz for Christmas (16 hours each way), my family think i'm crazy

Ironbound district in Newark is where you want to go for the Port/Braz Rodesio restaurants and bars. There is NOTHING and I repeat Zero in Harrison. Tidy IKEA like stadium close to the train station. See you all there in the summer. Hot and sticky July in Philly and NJ. I'm open to all enquiries from those planning to travel.
Is it PotG?

The Loyalty Points allocation will be the clincher for me.
Just waiting for the Newcastle date to be confirmed before the 14 hour round trip gets scheduled
Last holiday we had in Florida, we were on a boat trip and there was a family from Alaska there we got chatting to - they thought nothing of the 24 hour drive down apparently and did it every year.
If I go I'd certainly take in the Nationals at the NY Mets as that series spans 27-30 July.

I’m pointing out our sponsors, such as American Express, where we get huge sums from, expect these things - usually contractually. It is hypocritical to talk about climate change issues by limiting it to our own actions. Without the money, we pay less tax, less tax means less contributing into schemes to save the planet.
A flight out to America and back is the least of the world’s problems. Let’s talk about Chinese and Cambodian sweatshops producing more pollution than a million flights, with their government offering zero help in climate changing initiatives from their taxes.
Just pointing out things aren’t as black as white as the comment I replied to. In the grand scheme it’s pennies from heaven.
They will compete in a total of nine matches between Saturday 22 July and Sunday 30 July at stadiums in Atlanta, GA, Harrison, NJ, Orlando, FL, Philadelphia, PA and Landover, MD
GA = Georgia, NJ = New Jersey, FL = Florida, PA = Pennsylvania, MD = Maryland
GA = Georgia, NJ = New Jersey, FL = Florida, PA = Pennsylvania, MD = Maryland
4.7K miles. Drive time 77h. Driving steadily for 12 h a day, you would be into your 7th day before you arrived.Just waiting for the Newcastle date to be confirmed before the 14 hour round trip gets scheduled

Someone was winding you up, perhaps?
I'm probably mis-remembering where they were from - it was definitely 24 hours of driving

There's a city called Alaska in Wisconsin which is 22 hour drive, one in New Mexico too which is 28 hour drive. Could perhaps be one of those?
Tulsa, maybe?
Estimate of costs for that tour ? Inclu Hotels
