How much would it cost to go to the Super Bowl from Butte?
Super Bowl 59 is less than two weeks away and for the second time in 3 years we will find out whether the Kansas City Chiefs or Philadelphia Eagles will take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy as league champion. The game will be played on Sunday, February 9th at the Caesar's Superdome in New Orleans. Let's say just for the sake of argument that you got the weekend off and you want to go. Let's also just assume that money is no object. Here's a look at approximately what it would cost for you and a guest to go from Butte, MT.
TRANSPORTATION
Let's assume that we want to leave for New Orleans on Friday and come home Monday. According to Expedia.com, roundtrip flights on United Airlines out of Bert Mooney Airport start at $386 and go slightly up from there. Enjoy it. Because it's about to get really expensive. RUNNING TOTAL: $772
LODGING
Remember when we said money was no object. Well, that's going to come into play. Let's say that we want to stay at a Caesar's resort just down the road from the Superdome. The good news is that as of this writing, Orbitz shows room available at Caesar's New Orleans. For $4,999 per night. For Friday, Saturday and Sunday you're looking at $17,587. But that includes taxes and fees. And free ice. Maybe you want to take the whole family? There is a 5 bedroom, 5 bath home available on Orbitz as well. It even has a pool. For just a hair over $55k total. On the other end, Econo Lodge has rooms available starting at $187 per night. Let's choose that one. With taxes and fees, let's say the total at the Econo Lodge will be around $650. But you can count on at least another $200 or so to get you to and from the game. RUNNING TOTAL: $1622
GAME TICKETS
We looked for the lowest priced tickets available on StubHub. 2 together. We found a couple in Section 651 for just under $4400 each. RUNNING TOTAL $9422
FOOD AND ENTERTAINMENT
We're talking about The Big Easy during a party weekend. They know where and how to charge you. Bring along an extra $250 per night for cover charges, drinks and tips and at least $500 for meals. Let's say you'll need at least an extra grand total: RUNNING TOTAL: $10,422
Is it possible to get to the Super Bowl from Butte at this late of a date? It is, but as you can see, it's going to cost you.
