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...

25 AAA ballparks visited, 5 to go!

Image
A snapshot of the current AAA venues where I've seen a game. The funny thing about AAA ballparks is I can't think of a single one I didn't really like. Well, at least not after a renovation gave me a second chance to form a first impression. Nor until attendance at unseasonably cold or damp April and May games in some of the northeast stadiums was remedied with second and third games at them in the summer months, rectifying any lukewarm perceptions I may have previously had. Yes, it may have taken a couple of ballgames at them, but each AAA ballpark left me with a very favorable impression. Unlike MLB ballparks, where my journey to see them all started 20 years earlier, my AAA chase is a more recent undertaking. With 5/6 of the AAA ballparks now under my belt, I thought I'd take a look back at the journey so far. Not long after moving up to the Hudson Valley in the mid 2000s, my MiLB ballpark chasing got underway, much like a ballplayer's journey might progress, fro...

That top-32 National Park list I once created

Image
I'm enjoying watching a few friends near the completion of their National Park quests. Earlier this year, while traveling through the three Florida National Parks, it was likewise enjoyable but also encouraging talking to fellow travelers pursuing their own such journeys: a father and son were hitting their 40th, and one woman was at her penultimate with plans to finish in September. That's all great stuff to me.  These quests also lead to questions from interested observers. "What's the first  #NationalPark  you'll be visiting when this is over?", "What's your favorite National Park?", "What are your top 3/5/10?" These are some of the questions I see posted and get asked. With 44/62 seen, I don't know if it's fair to assemble such a list, but here's how I ranked the top 32 I've visited. Yeah, if I redid it, many spots could flip, but the top 4 or so are pretty well locked in, until one of the 18 I'm missing changes ...

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...
