Since that time, our company has coordinated a variety of college football and basketball tours virtually every year for groups ranging in size from 30 to 6,000.

In just the last four years, Dodds Athletic Tours has been the Official Travel Partner of 7 out of 8 teams playing for the National Championship in the BCS Title game. The one we didn’t represent was LSU when they played 50 miles away from home in the 2004 Sugar Bowl against Oklahoma.
