Vacation Rentals Made for Football Weekends

There’s nothing quite like football season.

The packed stadiums. The tailgates. The rivalries. The traditions that turn an ordinary weekend into something fans look forward to all year.

Whether you’re heading back to your college town for a Saturday matchup or traveling to watch your favorite NFL team, football weekends are even better when you bring the whole crew. And when everyone is traveling together, a vacation rental gives you more room to make the weekend part of the experience — not just the game.

With spacious living areas, full kitchens, multiple bedrooms and plenty of room to gather, vacation rentals make an ideal home base for football trips with family and friends.

College Football Weekends Worth Traveling For

College football is about much more than what happens on the field. Game day traditions can take over an entire town, making these destinations especially fun for a weekend getaway.

Austin, Texas

Football weekends in Austin offer the best of both worlds: big-time college football and one of the country’s most exciting cities.

Catch the Texas Longhorns at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium, then spend the rest of the weekend exploring Austin’s legendary live music scene, barbecue spots and outdoor attractions. For groups, an iTrip Austin vacation rental provides plenty of room to recharge between game-day festivities and everything else Austin has to offer.

Nashville, Tennessee

Nashville knows how to host a weekend.

College football fans can catch Vanderbilt in action while enjoying everything that makes Music City a favorite group destination. Spend time downtown, listen to live music, try some Nashville hot chicken and make an entire getaway out of game day.

With so much to see and do beyond the stadium, Nashville is especially appealing for groups where not everyone is equally football obsessed. Explore Nashville vacation rentals and find a home base with room for the whole crew.

Atlanta, Georgia

Atlanta puts football fans within reach of some of the biggest games of the season.

The city hosts major college football events at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and offers easy access to restaurants, nightlife, attractions and entertainment throughout the weekend. It’s also a convenient meeting point when friends or family are traveling from different parts of the country.

Make a weekend of it with an iTrip Atlanta vacation rental, with options that give groups more room to stay and spend time together.

Take the Crew to an NFL Game

Prefer Sundays under the stadium lights? An NFL game can be the perfect reason to plan a fall getaway.

Nashville, Tennessee

Football takes center stage when the Tennessee Titans are at home, and Nashville makes it easy to build an entire trip around the game.

Stay for the weekend and mix football with live music, Southern food and nights out downtown. A larger Nashville vacation rental gives groups a comfortable place to come back together after a busy day in the city.

Atlanta, Georgia

Cheer on the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and spend the rest of your getaway exploring Atlanta.

From restaurants and breweries to museums, shopping and family-friendly attractions, there’s plenty to fill an itinerary before and after kickoff. Browse Atlanta vacation rentals to find a stay that fits your group.

Tampa, Florida

Football season doesn’t always have to mean sweaters and cold weather.

A Tampa Bay Buccaneers game can easily become part of a warm-weather Florida getaway. Spend game day cheering from the stands, then use the rest of your trip to explore Tampa’s dining, entertainment and waterfront attractions — or add a little beach time to the itinerary.

Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas

Few football experiences feel quite as big as game day in North Texas.

A Dallas Cowboys game at AT&T Stadium makes an exciting centerpiece for a friends’ trip or family getaway. With entertainment, dining, shopping and attractions throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area, there’s plenty to do when you’re not at the stadium.

Find a place for everyone to stay together with Dallas vacation rentals, or explore more iTrip destinations throughout Texas.

Make a Weekend Out of Game Day

You don’t have to rush into town Saturday morning and head home immediately after the game.

Arrive a day early and explore. Meet up with friends for dinner. Spend game day tailgating and cheering on your team. Then give yourself another morning to grab brunch, relax and enjoy the destination before heading home.

For rivalry games, homecoming weekends, alumni trips and NFL matchups, those extra moments together often become just as memorable as the game itself.

Find Your Football Weekend Home Base

Football brings people together, and the right place to stay makes it easier to enjoy every part of the weekend.

Whether you’re planning a college football road trip, an NFL getaway or an annual tradition with friends and family, iTrip vacation rentals offer the space, comfort and convenience groups need to stay together and make more out of game day.

Explore iTrip vacation rentals across the U.S., pick your matchup, gather your crew and turn the next football weekend into a getaway worth cheering about.
