BRISTOL, Conn. -- ESPN and Orbitz have teamed up to create ESPN Sports Travel, a booking and travel information site for sports fans.
The new Web site at sports.espn.go.com/travel/ allows users to book flights and hotels through Orbitz without leaving the ESPN.com Web site. (It can also be accessed by going to ESPN.com, scrolling down the home page and clicking on "travel.")
In addition to ESPN.com's schedules, statistics and sports news, the site includes a sports trip-planner with dates and destinations for all types of sporting events, from college basketball finals and the Indy 500 to the Kentucky Derby and the French Open.
It also offers guides to 16 cities, with another 34 to be added in the coming weeks. Each guide includes area stadiums, arenas, golf courses and upcoming local sporting events, as well as attractions unrelated to sports like museums, historic sites and popular landmarks.
