In August, our SET team kicked off the football season and finalized preparations for our busiest time of the year! Now that college football is in full swing, we’re back on the road creating unforgettable fan experiences, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Let’s unpack August with some of our highlights and share what’s to come later this September.

St. Louis INDYCAR Bommarito 500, August 17

As we unpack August, we know that college football got hot this month! But, we can’t forget to highlight our awesome weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway for the 8th Annual Bommarito Automotive Group 500 INDYCAR Series race. This round-trip motor coach tour was a blast, and we loved getting to see all of our INDYCAR fans. With beautiful weather, a great race, and even better guests, we couldn’t have had a better weekend.

Kicking Off CFB: LSU Traveling Tigers Vegas Kickoff Classic, August 30

For us, there’s no such thing as easing into the college football season. We hit the ground running with an unforgettable Labor Day weekend in Las Vegas for the LSU vs USC game! While the outcome wasn’t what we wanted for our Traveling Tigers, we had a wonderful weekend full of fun tailgates and celebrations! With over 500 guests in attendance, there was no better way for us to kick off the new season.

Looking Forward – Football, Football, & More Football!

Looking ahead at the month of September, our calendars are jam-packed with college football weekends. With three successful tours already behind us, we have six more to go this month! Check out our September schedule below and be on the look-out for more behind the scenes sneak peeks into our fan travel tours:

• Alabama at Wisconsin
• Southern California at Michigan
• Kansas State at BYU
• Tennessee at Oklahoma
• Rice at Army
• Oklahoma at Auburn

Packing For September

August at SET was a great month to kick off the football season. Our team is so excited to be back on the road with all of our guests and university partners! In the meantime, we’re always planning ahead, so contact us today with any inquiries for custom tours or fan travel in the future. As always, we’re dedicated to delivering the very best in fan travel! Stay tuned for more from us next month, and have a great rest of September!

Now that the summer is coming to a close, college football season is finally upon us! Saturdays are sacred this time of year, and we can’t wait for countless tailgates, nail-biting fourth quarters, and the electric kind of atmosphere that only college football can provide. Not to mention, this year’s season has the potential to reshape the landscape of college football for years to come with the introduction of the 12-team playoff. 

A New Playoff

It’s no secret that the four-team playoff system has been debated for years. Many have felt like it left out some deserving teams and limited the potential for a lot of talented programs. Whether it be because of the lack of fairness or the untapped excitement, the four-team playoff is a thing of the past, at least for now. Enter the 12-team playoff! While this change brings a lot of uncertainty, it will undoubtedly also bring some new excitement and drama into the 2024 playoff and bowl season. 

With this new system, the top four conference champions will receive first-round byes, while the eight remaining teams will play in the first round. This first round will already be making college football history, as each game will be played at the higher seed’s home field (for the first time ever in CFB)! This new layer of intensity is one we’re eager to see play out. 

More Teams, More Possibilities, More Hope 

While this new playoff system will certainly shake things up, it might prove to be more fulfilling for teams and spectators alike. After all, it’s an opportunity for more teams to compete and strive for a national championship. Before, there were only a handful of teams who could realistically aspire to make the playoffs, but now, more teams are setting their sights on postseason possibilities. This opens the door for some potential upsets and unpredictable outcomes – two things that keep college football fans on their toes!

The 12-team playoff may even create stronger fan bases. Conference championships and rivalry games will be even more energetic than before, and every game nearing the postseason will matter. Now that more fan bases will feel like their team has a shot at the playoffs, we might be seeing some higher stakes and more passionate fans (as if we don’t already have enough of those).

Unique Fan Travel Opportunities

With more engaged fan bases and the addition of on-campus playoff games, this upcoming season offers more fan travel opportunities than ever before. The season ahead holds a lot of unknowns, but it’s likely that some teams may be making playoff appearances for the first time ever! No die-hard fan is going to miss that. 

At SET, we specialize in crafting these kinds of unique fan travel experiences. We handle all the details so you can focus on cheering for your distinctive team. As the 2024 season starts, we’re excited to host our university travel partners on the road, and we can’t wait to see what this new playoff season brings with fan travel. After all, college football is evolving, and the journey to the trophy just got a whole lot more interesting!

As we get SET for the season, we want to share our appreciation and wish all of our university partners good luck. We’ll see you at a stadium near you!

For the month of July, our team at SET made great strides in setting us up for success as the busy fall season inches forward! With lots of preparations, meetings, and a little bit of fun, we’re more than excited for August and the rest of the 2024 event season! Let’s unpack some of our happenings in July and get ready for what’s to come.

SET Staff Summer Gathering, July 22-23

While the month of July may have been quiet on the event side, our team was hard at work behind the scenes! Towards the end of the month, everyone traveled to our headquarters in Indianapolis for a few days of meetings on strategy, planning, and education, all to ensure that we provide unmatched event experiences in the months ahead. All that being said, we still made time for a little bit of fun! We worked on our golf swing at Back Nine and beat the summer heat inside with duckpin bowling. We kicked the week off with some productive meetings and a little healthy competition to finish it off!

Looking Forward – LSU Traveling Tigers Vegas Kickoff Classic, August 30

Looking ahead, our team is eagerly anticipating the kickoff of the 2024 college football season, and what better place to celebrate than Las Vegas! We can’t wait for a weekend stay at the Mandalay Bay Resort and event activities at the Las Vegas House of Blues. With well over 300 LSU guests joining us, we’re excited for a weekend filled with tailgating and cheering on one of our incredible university partners. Geaux Tigers!

St. Louis INDYCAR Bommarito 500, August 17

On August 17, the 8th Annual Bommarito Automotive Group 500 INDYCAR Series race returns to World Wide Technology Raceway, and our SET staff and guests will be there!

As an exciting weekend of exceptional competition comes to a close, we want to recap this captivating tournament and all its rich history and prestige. The Open Championship draws an audience worldwide, and there’s a clear reason why.  

The History of The Open Championship

The Open Championship, often referred to simply as “The Open,” stands as golf’s oldest major championship, dating back to 1860! This prestigious tournament has a storied history of showcasing the world’s top golfers on iconic courses throughout the United Kingdom. The Open Championship has consistently defined excellence in the sport, producing legendary moments and esteemed champions who have made their mark on golfing history. Not to mention, the tournament is known for its unique blend of tradition and passion for the sport, the perfect kind of atmosphere to witness history in the making!

The Course: Royal Troon

While the The Open Championship is rich itself, the history doesn’t stop there. The Royal Troon Golf Club has hosted the British Open a number of times, dating back to 1923. This year’s tournament marks the 10th year of hosting, a fitting milestone for the occasion. While this course is traditionally designed with a gentle opening, the back nine is said to be among the toughest in the world. With that, this renowned course is known for staging numerous noteworthy moments throughout the history of The Open, and this year was certainly no exception! 

Tournament Recap

Xander Schauffele wrapped up an exciting week at The 152nd Open with an impressive final-round score of 65 at Royal Troon, clinching his second major championship of the season. Schauffele ended the tournament at 9-under 275, finishing two strokes ahead of Justin Rose and Billy Horschel, and adding a claret jug to the Wanamaker Trophy he won earlier this year at the PGA Championship at Valhalla.

Celebrating the Champion

We certainly can’t forget to extend a congratulations! His outstanding performance and unwavering determination on the challenging Royal Troon course secured him the prestigious Claret Jug, further solidifying his place among golfing greats.

The 2024 British Open Championship was a celebration of golf’s rich heritage and a showcase of its future legends. Whether you followed as a dedicated enthusiast or a casual observer, this tournament offered unforgettable moments of excellence that embody the essence of golf.

On The Horizon

With the year’s last major tournament coming to a close, we can’t help but look forward to 2025. If you’re right there with us, it’s time to start planning for a golf experience of your own.

The Northeastern Historic Baseball Tour, June 15-20

From June 15 to June 20, 43 travelers from nine universities embarked on the Northeastern Historic Baseball Tour. This tour was a baseball enthusiast’s dream, featuring private tours of iconic venues such as Fenway Park, Yankee Stadium, and the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Our esteemed host, Dr. Michael Raycraft, brought over 30 years of historical baseball expertise to the table, enriching the experience with fascinating insights and stories.

One of the tour’s highlights was when a traveler caught a foul ball at a Yankees game, a moment that only added to the magic of the trip! The camaraderie among the travelers, coupled with the rich history and grandeur of the venues, made this tour an unforgettable journey through one of America’s fondest pastimes.

Pikes Peak Hill Climb, June 20-24

The Pikes Peak Hill Climb, held from June 20 to June 24, offered an adrenaline-pumping experience from a VIP perspective. Highlights included a police escort, a VIP reception, and access to meet and mingle with some of the racers. This week of fun gave an immersive glimpse into the world of hill climb racing.

One guest shared their appreciation, saying, “Great care and thought was taken to allow us an amazing experience… Thank you for making unforgettable memories for me and my son!” There is no doubt that this event showcased the thrill and excitement that define our SET experiences.
