This Is Not Just Sport

This Is Not Just Sport
A new way of thinking about getting to the biggest games and events

Sport has the power to bring us together to argue, to laugh, to cry, and to celebrate.
It’s the only thing I know right now that can do all of that at once.

Union Stn Sports isn’t just another talking head. There are plenty of those already.
This is something different, a voice for the collective.

I’m just like everyone else. I love sport, travel, adventure, a beer, pub food, and witnessing greatness.

Union Stn Sports is the platform you ride to discover the best pubs, experiences, cities, stays, things to do, and how to do them.
Sure, we’ll talk about the games, but truth be told, we don’t really care about the final scores.

We care about how we got there..

Sports and Stories go hand in glove. We cover:

  • The cities fans live and travel through
  • The bars, streets, and stadium rituals that matter
  • The games worth flying 15 hours for
  • The people who show up rain or shine
  • And the culture that lives outside the scoreboard

This isn’t highlight reels and press conferences.
It’s story, soul, and sweat - the fan experience, in full.

We will have different lines for you to explore and different destinations to get to. So let's look at some of these lines:

⚾️ Baseball’s Best Mate Line

For the weirdos who fell in love with a sport that barely registers on the Aussie radar — and never looked back.

This Line runs from early-morning Dodgers games to beer-fuelled ABL nights under crooked floodlights.
From Osaka’s outfield drums to a ballpark hot dog in Adelaide.

It’s MLB, NPB, KBO, and ABL — stitched together like the seams on a game ball.
You ride this Line if:

  • You’ve explained what a DH is… more than once
  • You’ve defended the beauty of a 1–0 game
  • You’ve stood on grass at Baseball Park cheering for a team you’d never heard of until the night before

This isn’t just about baseball.
It’s about stubborn passion. Late nights. And finding community through a sport no one else understands, until they do.

🛫 The Away End

Where the games take you.

This is your passport to the fan lifestyle from Tokyo domes to Dublin pubs, Chicago deep dish to Napoli alleyways.
We give you travel guides made for fans:
Where to drink, what to wear, which end to sit, how to swear in the local accent, and what time the march starts.

If you’ve ever booked a trip because of a game - this is your Line.

🏟 Church of the Game

For the stadium chasers. The view lovers. The fans who sit in Row Z, halfway up the moon, and still get goosebumps when the anthem hits.

We cover cathedrals like the MCG, Anfield, Fenway, Suncorp, Madison Square Garden and hidden gems in Bunbury, Leeds, or Busan.
It’s seats. Concrete. Ritual. Architecture. Emotion.
The places we remember — even when we forget the final score.

🍻 Pub to Plate

The fan’s food guide. No stars, no influencers just where the crowd goes before and after the game.

We review:

  • The best parmis near footy grounds
  • The burgers behind the bleachers
  • The sushi under the Tokyo Dome
  • The pies that burn your mouth before kickoff
  • And the beers that shouldn’t cost $14, but do

Your gut-led guide to eating, drinking, and debriefing in style (or not).

🏏 Baggy Green & Beyond

Cricket is religion. But this Line’s not stuck in the 90s.

We follow Test greatness, Big Bash chaos, backyard drama, ODI nostalgia, and the cultural moments that live between overs.

The BBQs. The beach cricket. The pink days. The sledges. The wickets we still see when we close our eyes.
Whether it’s Pat Cummins or your cousin Darren at third slip, this is summer all year round.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 The Continental Code

Basketball, football, baseball, hockey — four sports, two nations, one obsession. This Line runs through time zones, tailgates, ice rinks, courtside dreams and couch-bed rituals.

It’s the full North American sports experience the NBA doubleheaders, the NFL fantasy heartbreak, the MLB box scores you still check on your lunch break, and the NHL playoff beards you grow even when your team’s not playing.

This Line covers:

  • Aussie stars making it big in the US and Canada
  • League Pass rituals at 3AM
  • Blue Jays road trips and Maple Leafs pain
  • College stadiums bigger than towns, NBA arenas with cult followings, and MLB nights that feel like church in denim shorts
  • The bar that shows RedZone, the one guy wearing a Hornets jersey in Darwin, and why Canada bleeds red, white and puck

You ride this Line if:

  • You know the difference between a two-way contract and a two-point conversion
  • You’ve argued about who’s more cursed: the Jets or the Browns
  • You’ve followed a team for a decade that you’ve never seen in real life

The Continental Code isn’t a sports Line it’s a full-on, late-night, stats-driven, highlight-reel, heart-on-sleeve identity.
