Football Destinations

Having returned to the real world from a little visit to NFL Films, I've been thinking about other great football destinations. Bucket list type things that are a must for this little football fan.

Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio
-no explanation is needed on this one. It's a given. I suppose the only decision would be whether to visit when Cris Carter is finally inducted or some time other than an induction weekend. All I know for sure is that I'll need at least a week at this place. Maybe a month and still leave hungry.

Minnesota Vikings home game
-at the Metrodome dump as well as the new stadium, opening in 2016. Every year is a good year for a Vikings game.

Vikings game at any of the other 31 stadiums.

Vikings training camp at Mankato State University
-I would love to attend all practices over the duration of the entire camp. 2,3, 4 weeks, the more the better.

Lambeau Field
-It's the Green Bay Packers but the place screams football history.

Soldier Field
-although the Chicago Bears have only played there for about forty years, the stadium is old and the football history is still strong.

Arrowhead Stadium
-I've heard nothing but glowing comments about the football experience at Kansas City Chiefs games. A passionate, classy fan base.

Notre Dame Stadium
-visit the College Football Hall of Fame while catching a classic college football experience. I probably have to act fast as the Hall of Fame might be moving to Atlanta. Maybe, it's already on the way.

College Football rivalry games
-I regularly catch the best in Cal-Stanford, but there's a bunch. Auburn-Alabama, Michigan-Ohio St, Army-Navy, Harvard-Yale, Texas-Oklahoma and more. Every one is a treat.


High School games
-It would be a blast to spend a month or more catching high school games in football mad states like Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Ramp up the excitement by catching as much of the respective state tournaments as possible.

So much football to see. So little time. Gotta start somewhere and NFL Films was a great place to start.
