Feb 06

1018 ET - Hard-core fans travelling from Seattle or Boston for Sunday's Super Bowl might have to make a tough decision. Traveling to watch their team compete is going to cost about three times their monthly mortgage payment, Redfin says, or nearly six times their monthly rent. All in all, it would cost $12,681 for two people to travel from Seattle to Santa Clara, where this weekend's game is taking place. For two people traveling across the country from Boston, the cost is $13,031. That's compared to median monthly mortgage payments of roughly $4,500 for Seattle residents and about $4,200 for Boston residents. The Seattle area's median rent is $2,185, and Boston's is $2,990. Redfin broke down housing costs and the major costs of attending the game using its mortgage calculator, typical ticket prices, the cheapest available airfare, and lodging within a reasonable distance of Levi's Stadium.
