The New Orleans Pelicans are one of the better road-trip teams this season. 10 away cities offer genuine multi-sport weekends — not just NBA series, but weekends where fans can stack games across 5 different leagues.

Salt Lake City leads because it delivers a 4-game, 3-league weekend at the lowest combined ticket cost (US$765 vs US$1355 for Los Angeles). Los Angeles matches on stack size but costs more.

New Orleans home weekends top out at 3 games with Saints, which the best away trips beat. Road trips win on volume this season.

Better road-trip team than home-stack team. 10 away cities offer real multi-sport weekends, led by Salt Lake City with a 4-game, 3-league stack — more than New Orleans's best home weekend of 3 games.

What Makes a Pelicans Road Trip Worth It?

Most Pelicans away weekends (3 of 13) are NBA-only series. A typical road trip is three games at one stadium — enjoyable, but not a SportCation. The question is whether the 10 multi-sport weekends justify the planning.

Salt Lake City is the clear value play — more games at lower cost. Los Angeles offers the same stack size at a premium, which only makes sense if the destination itself matters to you. The NCAAFB and NHL and NFL and MLB additions are what separate these from a regular NBA road series.

Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City leads on pure stacking math: 4 games across 3 leagues in one weekend at US$765 combined. It undercuts Los Angeles by US$590 on tickets alone. Logistics: spread-out venues that need a car or transit between games, direct rail from the airport to the sports district, quick airport access (17 min to venues). The NBA anchor is Pelicans at Utah Jazz, with Utah Mammoth (NHL) filling the rest of the weekend. Best for fans chasing league diversity — 3 leagues in one weekend is rare at any price.

Los Angeles

Los Angeles matches Salt Lake City at 4 games but sits second on cost — US$1355 vs US$765 keeps it behind. Pelicans visit LA Clippers, adding Los Angeles Kings and Los Angeles Chargers for the NHL/NFL side of the stack. Best for fans chasing league diversity — 3 leagues in one weekend is rare at any price.

Denver

Denver closes the multi-sport list with 4 games across 2 leagues. Logistics: compact downtown venue cluster, direct rail from the airport to the sports district. Pelicans visit Denver Nuggets, adding Colorado Rockies for the MLB side of the stack. Best for fans who want an easy downtown sports weekend without needing a rental car.
