Hubby, the kiddo, and I recently spent a week in Sydney, Australia. Hubby has visited several times for work, but I have never been able to join him. After every trip, I make him promise that I can tag along the next time he goes. That means he had to plan it far enough in …

To learn more about the history of the Stadium Tour, read this. Our third stadium tour took us to the StubHub Center (now the Dignity Health Sports Park), home of the LA Galaxy and Chivas USA (at that time). Our trip was scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend in 2014, the year of the World Cup …
The 2019 Major League Soccer schedule is going to be announced shortly, which means that planning for the 8th Annual Stadium Tour is underway! I’ve talked about the history of the stadium tour before (or read this for an overview of where we’ve been), but I don’t think I’ve ever really talked about my Sis …
