VenRoo is all about tracking the various venues you’ve visited. Just as a kangaroo hops from one place to the next, you visit a variety of venues. Venues could be stadiums, arenas, sporting events, amusement parks, concerts, or anything else that you visit.
People like to keep track of the places they’ve been and we are trying to make it fun and interesting to present those travels in a geographical format.
So, with the combination of Venue and Kangaroo, VenRoo was born.
Tracking the Venues you’ve visited.
What are the graphics below the tag line? Those are the tracks of a kangaroo. As the kangaroo hops from place to place, they drag their tail along the sand, causing the solid line between the foot prints.
Chargers at Seattle – September 26, 2010
Visiting Seattle for the first time. Staying at the Residence Inn, Lake Union. It’s got some great views and good resturants nearby. The stadium is four miles away, so public transportation may be required.
The VenRoo poster is full size (24 x 36). Each stadium is surrounded by a color ring representing the teams colors. A lighter shade of color is on the bottom of each ring to allow you to write anything you want. Use it to write the date of your first visit, the opponent, or the score. Add additional dots, or lines, to track how many times you’ve been to the stadium.

The VenRoo stadiums for the National Football Poster were all hand-drawn by a local artist. The unique, fun drawings show the look of each stadium and add a fun element to the poster. Scroll through all the stadiums for a closer look.
The new stadium in Dallas is over the top! This is by far the best stadium experience we’ve seen. There’s not much around the stadium as it’s next door to a Wal-mart, and among residential houses. However, once you’re through the outside gate there’s plenty of entertainment before the game.
You’ll be impressed once you’re inside the stadium. The first thing we noticed was the huge bathrooms with plenty of room. Of course we realized why they had those, when the beer sales continued through the 4th quarter and after the game with music and dancing. Concession stands are everywhere with no lines and getting to your seat, is as easy as catching an elevator to your level and only walking a few rows up, rather than hiking a mountain for 40 rows or so.
Of course the huge video screen is fantastic, but it does kinda take away from actually watching the field.
