With the AHL schedule being released yesterday, we could finally put the final pieces of the puzzle together for Ultimate Sport Road Trips for the 2007-08 season.

And what a lot of great adventures await! We start off this Labor Day weekend with a trip to Texas, two minor league ballparks, and a Texas Longhorns football game in Austin.

In December it will be a trip to California, catching two Sabres road games, the USC v UCLA football game at the Coliseum, and a USRT first, two NBA games in ONE day in the same venue, as the Clippers and the Lakers hold a day-night doubleheader at the Staples Center.

January 8 is the next “official” USRT stop - the New Jersey Davils will open their new arena, the Prudential Center in downtown Newark which opens this fall.

In mid February, we head to the Big Apple to see the Sabres face off against the New York Rangers, and wrap two AHL games around that date - in Bridgeport and W-B/Scranton, two venues we have yet to experience.

But then in March - a massive driving trip to Florida and back, where we will take in the NCAA subregional in Tampa, some Spring Traning games, and on the way back hit the NCAA East Regional in Charlotte, an AHL game in Norfolk, and the Johnstown Chiefs (the venue where “Slap Shot” was filmed.)

Four new NHL pressboxes will be visited during this season as we follow the Sabres on the road.

HERE is the complete and up to date USRT schedule. Check it out!
