The 2027 board

Four events, gone deep

  • Super Bowl LXI

    Sunday, February 14, 2027 · SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California

    Presidents' Day weekend, and the hardest hotel market in the country that week.

  • NCAA Men's Final Four

    Semifinals Saturday, April 3. Championship Monday, April 5, 2027. · Ford Field, Detroit, Michigan

    You have to book before you know whether your team is in it. Here is how that actually works.

  • Kentucky Derby

    Saturday, May 1, 2027. Oaks Friday, April 30. · Churchill Downs, Louisville, Kentucky

    The 153rd running. The infield does not see the finish line, and most people find that out too late.

  • MLB All-Star Game

    Home Run Derby Monday, July 12. All-Star Game Tuesday, July 13, 2027. · Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois

    Wrigley's fourth All-Star Game, and the first since 1990.
