Put some gas in the car and go. How far would you drive?

Assume that it would be to see US MNT vs another Top 15 FIFA rankings opponent.

hmmm...if it were a really big game or another team i really like such as holland, i guess to orlando, farther if i could get friends to go. orlando is around 200+ mi away from ft lauderdale. so its like a 3 hour ride.

My personal longest drive so far has been straight to Milan without sleep, stay for a day and see the game at night to drive straight back to A'dam afterwards. I've never been so happy about being an inexperienced driver... I didn't have to drive

Btw, Milan and the highways surrounding it are a real b.i.a.t.c.h...

Isn't flying a better option in the US?

Furthest I've driven is probably from Amsterdam to Munich to watch England beat Germany 5-1.

Also drove from London to Sunderland for the Turkey game - seemed like we were going to the end of the universe.

Don't know about drive, but a while back I travelled from San Francisco to Wembley to see a playoff final. Well worth it!!

KC to Barcelona? That must have been some serious toll action
