About Us

During the thrilling 2006 football season, we found ourselves in a sports bar, fixated on the Chargers as they clashed with the Denver Broncos. Our attention gravitated towards a group of San Diego fans captured by the camera, and in that very moment we started planning our first sports road trip.

Once the 2007 schedule was released with the Chargers at Green Bay in September, we knew we had to go to Lambeau. We flew into Chicago and watched the Cubs play before driving to Wisconsin. We made stops at US Celluar Field, the United Center and Miller Field and filled up on Chicago Dogs, bratwurst sausages, and hamburgers dripping with decadent melted butter. We named it the "Greatest Road Trip Ever."

Since our first trip to Chicago and Green Bay in 2007, we have been on the following trips:

2008 - Padres at Yankee Stadium, USC at UofA

2009 - Chargers at Cowboys Stadium

2010 - Padres at Busch Stadium

2011 - Padres at Fenway Park

2012 - Chargers at New Orleans

2013 - San Diego State at Ohio State, Padres at Phillies, Chargers at Eagles

2014 - Chargers at Arizona

2015 - USC at Notre Dame, Chargers at Green Bay

2016 - Chargers at Panthers, USC vs Alabama at Texas

2017 - USC at Notre Dame, NLCS at Wrigley

2018 - Chargers at Wembley Stadium in London, Chargers at Heinz Field, USC at Texas

2019 - Chargers at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City

2021 - USC at Notre Dame and Pittsburgh at Chargers

2022 - Chargers at Falcons, LSU at Texas A&M

2023 - Final Four in Houston, Padres in Mexico City

Watching our favorite teams play all over the country is the highlight of our trips, but it is only part of the adventure. Each trip is a testament to the enduring power of sports to bring people together and create lasting bonds of friendship, all while celebrating the thrill of the game.

Michelle Matter

Michelle was born and raised in San Diego, California. As a young girl, she developed a love for football while watching Joe Montana throw touchdown passes to Jerry Rice. After Montana left San Francisco for the Kansas City Chiefs in 1993, Michelle traded in her 49’ers gear and started rooting for her home team, the San Diego Chargers.

Her love for baseball was slower to develop. Occasional games barely scratched the surface of her passion until one day, she stepped into the hallowed grounds of Wrigley Field. It was there that the timeless charm and allure of America's pastime washed over her, embedding baseball deep within her heart.

One cherished memory took place in St. Louis. Following a triumphant Padres victory over the Cardinals, Michelle wandered into a bustling casino. Her luck and fate conspired, leading her to a craps table where she found herself rolling the dice alongside none other than Padres Manager Buddy Black.

Beyond her sports passions, Michelle treasures family moments and thrives in her work as a gerontologist. She is a proud USC and LSU alum.
