After looking at the Utes’ schedule both home and on the road, while comparing to the NFL schedules in those cities near the location that Utah will play.
We came up with three trips that would be worth looking at for the ultimate football weekend.
Early October Trip To Sin City
This trip is very inexpensive because the first stop is in Salt Lake City on a Friday night at Rice-Eccles Stadium when the Utes face the USC Trojans.
Drive six hours south to Las Vegas on Sunday, October 4 and see the Las Vegas Raiders face the Buffalo Bills.
The wait is over.

Mid-October Trip To Pacific Northwest

Then on Sunday, October 11, you can drive 5 hours to Seattle to watch the Seahawks host the Minnesota Vikings. It gives Utah fans a chance to see former Utes Cody Barton and Marquise Blair in their second season in the NFL.
