GameAway
A multi-sport road-trip planner for North America.
GameAway answered one question: if I’m driving this route on these dates, which games can I actually get to? It combined league schedules, a venue dataset and travel geography so a trip could be planned around the games rather than the other way round.
What it covered
- Baseball (MLB and MiLB), football (NFL), basketball (NBA), hockey (NHL) and soccer (MLS and USL Championship)
- A curated dataset of 500+ North American venues, each with its own guide page — location, teams, nearby parking and points of interest
- Road-trip corridors and shareable itineraries, plus a dedicated section for the 2026 FIFA World Cup host cities
How it was built
- Next.js (App Router, React, TypeScript) deployed on Vercel
- Supabase (Postgres) for venues, leagues, events and saved trips, with row-level security and Supabase Auth
- Schedule ingestionfrom the MLB Stats API and ESPN’s public scoreboard endpoints, normalised into a single event model and refreshed on a schedule
- An itinerary engine that matched events to a route, date window and search radius, using venue coordinates, driving geography and per-venue local time zones
- Maps and imagery via Mapbox and OpenStreetMap, with generated Open Graph cards per venue and per trip
Built 2025–2026. Paused — development focus has moved to industrial AI at Bodenhamer & Co.
The live application has been taken down rather than left to serve schedule data that would quietly go stale. The full working codebase is preserved and can be restored.
