This Season's Top Cardinals Road Trip
Cincinnati
Cardinals at Cincinnati Reds plus FC Cincinnati — a MLB + MLS road trip.
St. Louis Cardinals fans have 3 real multi-sport road trips this season, plus 6 MLB-only weekend series. That makes this mostly a MLB travel team with a few standout multi-league weekends worth planning around.
Cincinnati leads because it delivers a 4-game, 2-league weekend at the lowest combined ticket cost (US$248 vs US$501 for Chicago). Chicago matches on stack size but costs more.
St Louis home weekends top out at 3 games with St. Louis City, Blues, which the best away trips beat. Road trips win on volume this season.
Cardinals away travel is broad but shallow: 9 road cities, but only 3 create true multi-sport weekends. Most trips are single-league MLB series. Cincinnati leads with a 4-game stack.
Best Cardinals Road Trips: Multi-Sport Weekends
3 away cities where a Cardinals road game turns into a real multi-league weekend. Ranked by league diversity, then stack size, then cost.
Trip totals combine ticket-stack, hotel for 2 nights, and round-trip flights for fly-distance routes. Drive-friendly trips (<150 mi) exclude flight cost; medium-distance trips (150–500 mi) show stay + tickets only because travel cost varies by traveler. Trips with incomplete data fall back to ticket-stack pricing.
What Makes a Cardinals Road Trip Worth It?
Most Cardinals away weekends (6 of 9) are MLB-only series. A typical road trip is three games at one stadium — enjoyable, but not a SportCation. The question is whether the 3 multi-sport weekends justify the planning.
Cincinnati is the clear value play — more games at lower cost. Chicago offers the same stack size at a premium, which only makes sense if the destination itself matters to you. The MLS and FIFA additions are what separate these from a regular MLB road series.
The benchmark is St Louis home weekends, where St. Louis City, Blues give you 3 games without a flight. An away trip needs to either beat that stack count, offer leagues St Louis doesn't have, or send you somewhere worth visiting beyond the games.
Cincinnati
Cincinnati leads on pure stacking math: 4 games across 2 leagues in one weekend at US$248 combined. It undercuts Chicago by US$253 on tickets alone. Logistics: compact downtown venue cluster, quick airport access (20 min to venues). The MLB anchor is Cardinals at Cincinnati Reds, with FC Cincinnati (MLS) filling the rest of the weekend. This is the value play — maximum games at the lowest cost.
Chicago
Chicago matches Cincinnati at 4 games but sits second on cost — US$501 vs US$248 keeps it behind. Logistics: direct rail from the airport to the sports district. Cardinals visit Chicago Cubs, adding Chicago Fire FC for the MLS side of the stack. Fans here are paying a premium for the destination, not a stronger sports stack.
Kansas City
Kansas City closes the multi-sport list with 3 games across 2 leagues. Cardinals at Kansas City Royals anchors the weekend, with FIFA games layered in. Fans here are paying a premium for the destination, not a stronger sports stack.
