Number of Pro Football Stadiums Visited

Traveling to various stadiums and cities is a fun experience, which is why we started VenRoo.  We started out visiting a different football stadium within driving distance in the midwest, and one year when there wasn’t a location in the area with the teams we wanted to see, we decided to take to the air and fly to our first stadium:  Denver.

In fact, that year, we thought it would be fun to see the football game on Sunday and stay over Monday to catch a baseball game on Monday night.  That was a long weekend that wore us out.  We probably won’t try that again anytime soon.  Three days over a weekend for one football game is enough to keep us busy.

How many different cities have you visited to watch a pro football game?

What do you look for in pre-game activities

What are some of the good things you like about stadiums?  Which stadiums have those traits?

It all starts with the outside of the stadium before the game.  If we all flew into the city and don’t have a car, we usually prefer to find a local establishment near the stadium.  Tailgating is fun, but you have to pack all the supplies and fight the traffic after the game.  Some stadiums are very receptive to the opposing team, and the fans are great to hang out with.  Indianapolis is a great example of good fans at the tailgate.

Green Bay is awesome for pre-game activities.  All the local bars and resturants offer some sort of drink and food special (many with all you can eat and drink for a fixed price), along with some good tailgating at the stadium lot.

Overall,

  1. It’s nice to be within walking distance or easy public transportation to the stadium (Indy, Green Bay, St Louis)
  2. Friendly local fans (Indianapolis)
  3. On location activities (Dallas, Green Bay)
