Get Involved
ACC Road Trip is based on the understanding of the power of community. That applies to how we build our product just as much as what's in it. There are several ways to be part of what we're building.
Something to Add, Change, or Remove?
College towns change fast. A bar closes. A new spot becomes the go-to before kickoff. A hotel that used to be solid starts to slip. We can't be everywhere at once.
If you've visited one of these towns and found something we got wrong, something we missed, or you have a tip that would benefit others...tell us!
Become an Ambassador
We're building a network of one local fan or student per school; these are people who go to the games, know the scene, and will notice when something changes. This is not an influencer role. There's no follower count required. We're looking for fans who care about accuracy and want a reason to stay more plugged in to their school's game-day experience.
What it involves:
- Flag anything that has changed or needs updating
- Let us know when a new spot opens or a featured one closes
- Share photos and short video clips from game day activities (phone quality is fine)
- Optional: create short-form game-day content
- Optional: help connect local venues to our partner discount program
What you get:
- A seasonal stipend of $50
- Credit as "ACC Road Trip Correspondent" on your school's guide page
- A small bonus for content creation and securing venue partner discounts
If you're interested, send us a note with your school, a sentence about your game-day habits, and how you'd want to be involved. We'll take it from there.
Venue Partnerships
If you run a bar, restaurant, hotel, or activity venue in an ACC college town, we can put your business in front of the right people at exactly the right time; traveling fans with spending money, looking for somewhere to go.
Here's how it works. We feature local venues in every school's guide. Venue partners offer an exclusive discount code to ACC Road Trip users. It costs you nothing to be listed at the base level; you offer a discount, we send fans your way. Simple.
For businesses that want more visibility, we offer a featured placement that puts you at the top of your section with an enhanced description and priority placement in our game-week content.
If you're in an ACC college town and want to talk about getting your business in front of road-tripping fans, reach out.
Fan Sites & Content Partners
Every ACC Road Trip guide is free. There's nothing to sell your audience and no paywall to send them through. It's just a genuinely useful game-day guide, where to eat, stay, park, and find the local spots, that you can share with the fans who travel to see your team.
Here's the trade. You point your audience to a free resource they'll find useful; we return the favor. We feature your show, site, or newsletter in front of a growing audience of ACC fans who plan trips: tags, links, and shout-outs in our guides and our newsletter.
If you want to go deeper, we can. These guides are funded in part by local businesses. For partners who help us grow in their market, there's room to share in that. Help us get a foothold in your community.
If you run a fan site, podcast, or newsletter covering an ACC school, and your audience travels to games, let's talk.
