San Diego – Qualcomm Stadium

If you’ve ever been to Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, the first thing you notice (besides the perfect weather) is the round parking lot.  This is one of the few stadiums in the NFL that has parking on all sides of the stadium.   During game day, people can walk completely around the stadium, making it easy to find friend and tailgates.

Speaking of tailgates, San Diego has some of the best in the country.  The players and coaches drive in right through the tailgaters – if you’re lucky some of the players will even stop and say Hi.  And the “inner ring” tailgaters are literally feet from the stadium’s main gate.  If you go, make sure to stop by our tailgate at D2.  Just look for the 4 yellow flagpoles and you’ll find us…

Wherever you tailgate at Qualcomm Stadium, you’re sure to smell the food the locals bring.  Some of the favorites to fire up on the grill are fajitas (carne asada is the best), pizzas (yes, on the grill…), tri-tips, and fresh fish caught right off the Southern California coast.

But whatever you’re tailgate plans are, get there early.  The parking lot usually closes about 3 hours before kickoff.

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 is VenRoo?

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.
