Football stadiums so far...

Ok, with football season underway as noted in my previous entry, and lots of plans this season, I thought it would be good to post my current list of football stadiums I've visited. I'm not sure how MS tables will play with Blogger, but there really is only one way to find out...

Ok, it took a few edits, but this definitely gives the gist of it. The italic font means that the team has replaced the stadium since my first visit, and I've visited that too. Conversely, the dagger means that the team has replaced the stadium since my first visit, but it's still on the to-do list. An asterisk simply means I've been there more than once. I've put the score and opponent in the last column (I have some game highlights listed in my source document, such as, in the Fish game, the home team gave up 10 before scoring three unanswered TDs. Pasting limitations from Word to Blogger meant I had to cut that out). Nothing is missing from the first column, which is a dummy I had to add so that the column with the years didn't get cut off.

Anyhow, I will definitely add three lines to this table by season's end, and maybe a fourth. Attending a Jets game in Giants Stadium, no, no, in the New Meadowla...oh yeah, in Met Life Stadium is pretty certain. After all, I need one crazy year to make me think that hitting all 32 is doable, and this may as well be it.

I'll repost the updated version of this at the end of the season. And, I'll post my baseball one at the end of the current season...

New York counties, and then some

Image
 <I wrote this while on a flight to Chicago around this time last year, and just noticed it in my drafts much closer to finished than I recalled... 😀> At the start of 2021, one of my two posts was about my progress for reaching every corner of New York: I had set the goal of doing something in each of the state’s 62 counties. By "something", I meant an NPS site, a state park, a sporting event, a brewery or something else (for me, "something else" included the Corning Museum of Glass, the Baseball Hall of Fame, Howe Caverns, county fairs, etc.). At the time, 55 of them could be considered done. Since I had updated my other post of early 2021 early in 2022—the great state border challenge—it seemed appropriate to update my New York county post too, especially since it's now two years since I've completed that quest. Yes, I went 62 for 62 in June of 2021, when my quest was completed with a state park and brewery in Chautauqua, the state’s westernmost c

Revisiting the great state-border-crossing challenge

Image
When I posted this at the beginning of 2020, the pandemic hadn't cut into any travel plans and I hadn't really identified paths to getting to the last bunch of state border crossings I needed. However, after crossing a few more in the last year, being close but not too close to a few others I was missing, and especially talking to more folks interested in this idea, well, the quest has gained some traction. One of the things that remains both fun and frustrating about this venture is how recently it came into my consciousness. Decades of road tripping led me so close to some of these state borders I'm still missing. If I had any inkling this would be something I'd end up pursuing, at least another half dozen crossings would have been completed. But it's also a reason to go back to some of these areas, which works well with other travel goals. After all, I keep finding more things to do in many states—NPS sites, ballparks, breweries, etc.—so I know I'll be plann

Tipping and ripping the cap

A belated tip of the cap to this year’s Baseball Hall of Fame inductees. I know the NFL and NBA Halls had their 2010 inductions more recently, and an eventual nodding of the helmets to the former may follow. It’s just that a recent conversation prompted this post. In this era of free agency, the need for players to don one team’s cap over another when their plaque is created seems to be something of a relic, especially when a player has left an indelible mark on multiple teams. Even if the bulk of his career or prime numbers rest mainly with one team, should that team be solely associated with that player when he gave another some great years? Conversely, if, say, a contract or personal quarrel leaves bad blood between a player and the team where his HOF numbers were earned, should that player have the right to select some team where he had less impact? Admittedly, most inductees do lean to one team or another in terms of career dominance, and Wikipedia, under the "Players with mu
