June brought a perfect blend of baseball fun and football planning here at SET. From the green fields of Fenway to the electric energy of Yankee Stadium, we hosted our annual Historic Baseball Tour, giving fans an unforgettable experience through the heart of America’s pastime. At the same time, our team has been hard at work behind the scenes gearing up for an exciting fall filled with college football.

A Baseball Bucket List Experience

Our Historic Baseball Tour took guests on a one-of-a-kind journey through Boston, Cooperstown, and New York City. Along the way, guests explored the roots of America’s game and checked off two legendary stadiums in one unforgettable week.

The trip began in Boston, where guests took in the historic sights and caught a classic rivalry matchup at Fenway Park between the Red Sox and the Yankees. From there, we made our way to Cooperstown, home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, where the group immersed themselves in the stories and legends of the sport. The trip wrapped up in New York City with a visit to Yankee Stadium to experience another big game from the stands of one of the sport’s most iconic venues.

Behind the Scenes: Gearing Up for Fall

While baseball took center field this month, our team has also been laying the groundwork for what’s next. Fall football weekends are just around the corner, and we’ve been deep in planning mode! Finalizing details, meeting with partners, and preparing new experiences for fans across the country has us buzzing for what’s to come.

Looking ahead to July, we’ll be gathering as a team for our annual SET Staff Retreat, a chance to reconnect, regroup, and align for the busy season to come. We’ll also be attending industry conferences, continuing to build and strengthen relationships with our partners and clients.

On Deck: College Football and More

With kickoff just a couple months away, we’re excited for what’s ahead. Whether you’re joining us for a football weekend or a Bucket List experience, this fall is shaping up to be one of our biggest yet.

May was a month to remember for our team and guests here at SET, as we hosted two of the most iconic sporting events in the country: the Kentucky Derby and the Indianapolis 500! With weekends full of excitement, tradition, and unforgettable experiences, our guests got to check off some major bucket list items.

A Derby Week To Remember

Our Kentucky Derby guests indulged in a luxury experience that blended Southern charm with thrilling race-day excitement. We kicked off the weekend with an evening reception featuring an industry guest speaker, accompanied by drinks and hors d’oeuvres. 

Over the next two days, we offered an immersive look at Kentucky’s storied horse and bourbon culture. Thursday included breakfast at the American Saddlebred Museum, followed by a distillery tour. Friday’s agenda featured a trip to Keeneland Race Course and other horse farms to gear up for the big race day.

On Derby day, we headed to Churchill Downs for the 151st Run for the Roses! It was a day full of tradition, fashion, and the thrill of one of America’s most renowned sporting events. 

Full-Throttle Excitement At The Indy 500

After a quick turnaround, our team geared up for The Greatest Spectacle in Racing! Our Indy 500 guests kicked off the weekend with a cocktail reception featuring a motorsports industry speaker. 

Saturday’s Legends Day experience included admission to the IMS Hall of Fame Museum and a private IndyCar garage tour. On Sunday, guests were treated to a race day like no other! This included premium reserved Tower Terrace seats and transfers to Speedway, complete with a police escort for seamless, stylish arrival. This weekend was sure one for the books!

Looking Ahead

May was a celebration of two American traditions, and we were thrilled to share these experiences with so many passionate fans. If you missed out this year, don’t worry! You can reach out to us today for details on 2026 Kentucky Derby and Indy 500 packages and other can’t-miss sports experiences.

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! We’re hosting an exclusive round-trip motor coach tour so our INDYCAR fans can travel in style. This package is designed to provide a seamless and thrilling experience for racing enthusiasts, and we’re thrilled to have it in our summer lineup!

Packing For August

July at SET was full of fun and preparations for our jam-packed season ahead, and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
