How hotels and travel vendors can find visiting college teams with Claude

Short answer: college athletics schedules are public, and Claude can research them. Our free AwayGame plugin tells Claude how to turn "which teams are coming to my area?" into a sourced list of upcoming games, verified venues, publicly listed athletics operations contacts, and outreach drafts, ranked for the service you sell. It's built for hotels, caterers, charter bus companies, laundry services, and anyone else who serves traveling teams.

TEG is an official member of the Anthropic Claude Partner Network. We build Claude Skills, plugins, and MCP integrations for B2B teams. See our full Claude services.

Why this is hard to do by hand

Every visiting team is a potential booking: rooms, meals, buses, laundry. But finding them means checking dozens of school schedules across sports, confirming the game is actually in your market (neutral-site and tournament games are often labeled as home games), and then working out who handles team travel. It's slow, and the lists go stale quickly. AwayGame started as a standalone product we built for hospitality teams. We rebuilt it as a Claude plugin so it runs where you already work.

What AwayGame does

  • Find visiting teams. Give it a market, radius, date range, and your service. Claude checks official athletics schedules, confirms the visiting team and the actual venue, and returns a table with dates, sport, teams, venue, source links, the date each item was checked, and a status of confirmed, tentative, or needs verification.
  • Research team contacts. For the strongest opportunities, Claude looks for publicly listed operations, travel, or equipment staff on official directories, ranks the opportunities for your service, and records the source of every contact. It leaves unpublished emails blank rather than guessing.
  • Draft outreach. Short, personalized first emails based only on verified game details and your actual offer, with the research cited outside the email so you can check it. It drafts; it never sends.
  • Weekly market watch. Claude can help you set up a recurring task in your Claude account that runs the research every week and reports current opportunities.

Accuracy over volume

A list of wrong games wastes your sales team's time. AwayGame separates confirmed events from tentative ones, keeps event confidence separate from contact confidence, and says what it could not cover. It doesn't infer that a team needs a hotel just because it's traveling, doesn't guess email patterns, and doesn't collect private or student information. It's a research tool that shows its sources, not a database.

Example prompts

  • "Find college teams scheduled to play within 40 miles of Portland, Maine in the next 60 days. Check official schedules and give me a cited table."
  • "For these visiting teams, find publicly listed staff who handle operations or team travel. Show the source for each contact."
  • "I sell charter transportation. Rank these games by likely opportunity and draft three emails for my review."

Frequently asked questions

How can a hotel find college sports teams traveling to its area?

No. It drafts outreach for your review and never sends anything. You decide what to send and from which tool.

Where does AwayGame get its data?

From public sources such as official college athletics schedules, conference and event sites, and official staff directories, using the web research available in your Claude session. Every result includes a source link and the date it was checked.
