The Best Sports-Themed Vacation Destinations for Sports Lovers

New York boasts some of the world’s most recognizable sports teams, and you don’t need to be an aficionado to enjoy watching the Yankees, the Mets, the Giants, the Jets, or the Knicks.

If you're a fan of baseball, you can catch a game at Yankee Stadium or Citi Field.

If you're a fan of football, you can head to MetLife Stadium to see the Giants or the Jets.

And if you're a fan of basketball, you can check out the Knicks at Madison Square Garden (while munching on popcorn and spotting celebs courtside, of course).

Sports-themed vacations in New York don't have to be all about watching games.

You can also tour the various stadiums, visit the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, or even participate in an athletic event like the New York City Marathon.

Boston is another standout city for sports-themed vacations, featuring iconic teams like the Red Sox, the Patriots, the Celtics, and the Bruins.

Fenway Park is a must-see for any baseball fan, and Gillette Stadium is the destination for football fans.

If you're a basketball or hockey fan, don’t miss a game at TD Garden.

Sports are a serious business for New Englanders, which you’ll learn with a visit to the New England Sports Museum, or witnessing the extraordinary Boston Marathon.  

Finally there’s Los Angeles.

The City of Angels isn’t all palm trees and great sunsets (although they have both in spades).

This vibrant west coast city is home to a number of great sports teams, including the Dodgers, the Angels, the Rams, the Chargers, the Lakers, and the Clippers.

If you're a fan of baseball, you can catch a game at Dodger Stadium or Angel Stadium.

If you're a fan of football, you can head to SoFi Stadium to see the Rams or the Chargers.

And if you're a fan of basketball, you can check out the Lakers or the Clippers at Staples Center.

For all those who tolerate sports but have far less interest in athletics permeating their vacations, have no fear.

The above-mentioned cities offer ample activities that have nothing to do with sports!

In New York, you can visit iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and Central Park, take in a Broadway show, or explore the city's diverse neighborhoods on foot.

Tour Boston’s historical sites (the Freedom Trail and the Paul Revere House among others), take a stroll through the Public Garden or visit the famous Faneuil Hall.

And in Los Angeles, you can visit theme parks like Disneyland and Universal Studios, take a hike in Griffith Park, or hit the beach in Santa Monica.

No matter what your interests are, there's sure to be something for everyone in these great cities.

So pack your bags and get ready to have an amazing sports-themed vacation in New York, Boston, or Los Angeles!
