How this affects your travel
If you had planned on traveling to any game with an airline, please review your airline’s change and cancelation policy. We have compiled a list here. Hotels will be harder as they are not allowing changes in the United States, for the most part.
It’s a brave new world, as Trump has cancelled all of the Europe-US travel for the next 30 days as well. Things will be changing, so we’ve got to adapt.
