The Columbus Blue Jackets are one of the better road-trip teams this season. 4 away cities offer genuine multi-sport weekends — not just NHL series, but weekends where fans can stack games across 3 different leagues.

Minneapolis leads because it delivers a 2-game, 2-league weekend at the lowest combined ticket cost (US$355 vs US$465 for Nashville). Nashville matches on stack size but costs more.

Columbus home weekends match the best away trip at 2 games — sharing the city with Columbus Crew — so the case for traveling is about league variety and destination appeal, not raw volume.

Columbus and the road both stack 2 games, but 4 away cities offer multi-sport league mixes worth traveling for.

What Makes a Blue Jackets Road Trip Worth It?

Most Blue Jackets away weekends (5 of 9) are NHL-only series. A typical road trip is three games at one stadium — enjoyable, but not a SportCation. The question is whether the 4 multi-sport weekends justify the planning.

Minneapolis is the clear value play — more games at lower cost. Nashville offers the same stack size at a premium, which only makes sense if the destination itself matters to you. The MLS and NFL additions are what separate these from a regular NHL road series.

Minneapolis

Minneapolis leads on pure stacking math: 2 games across 2 leagues in one weekend at US$355 combined. It undercuts Nashville by US$110 on tickets alone. Logistics: compact downtown venue cluster, direct rail from the airport to the sports district. The NHL anchor is Blue Jackets at Minnesota Wild, with Minnesota United FC (MLS) filling the rest of the weekend. Best for fans who want an easy downtown sports weekend without needing a rental car.

Nashville

Nashville matches Minneapolis at 2 games but sits second on cost — US$465 vs US$355 keeps it behind. Logistics: compact downtown venue cluster, quick airport access (10 min to venues). Blue Jackets visit Nashville Predators, adding Tennessee Titans for the NFL side of the stack. Fans here are paying a premium for the destination, not a stronger sports stack.

New York

New York closes the multi-sport list with 2 games across 2 leagues. Logistics: direct rail from the airport to the sports district. Blue Jackets visit New York Rangers, adding New York Jets for the NFL side of the stack. Fans here are paying a premium for the destination, not a stronger sports stack.
