Fort Lauderdale to Detroit is 1,362 miles. At $2.10/gallon and a 20MPG vehicle —> $143 each way
Google has that trip as taking 21 hours.. So basically leave the evening of Christmas 6PM will get you to Detroit at 3 PM on the 26th…giving time to check in to the hotel and begin drinking heavily.
With 4 people you can have 5hr shifts through the night and morning, 5 people you can do 4 hr shifts.
Cost per person for 4 people = $35.75
Cost per person for 5 people = $28.60
Hotel at $99/night, 2 beds, 2 people to a bed.
If we keep all the other things Ted mentioned, Keg, Burgers, T-shirts, Tickets, Parking we come to:
GRAND TOTAL
~$146.75/person in a 4 person adventure with 1 night in Detroit with all the fixings, slightly less if you get 5 people involved.
EDIT - I may have screwed up, I think it might actually be ~$180 for round/trip…unless you want to stay in Detroit

Re: For the Adventurous
but better than $500 for sure, although I doubt many will take that trip

Yeah, and what vehicle are you putting 2,500 miles on? Although, when I was 21 there is no doubt I would have taken that road trip.
You've become so adult it makes me want to puke
