    Could you go to every stadium in a year?

    OK. Once the final schedule is out (times and all), I want to do a "contest". I always wondered how possible/probable it would be to see a game in every stadium during the course of a regular season. A bonus would be to see every team play.

    This is totally subjective. My goals would be to minimize the number of flights. (e.g. See Oakland and SF home games on a same trip if possible). We couldn't do 1 and 4 oclock games but a 1 and NBC Sunday Night might be possible for teams close enough (e.g. Pittsburgh and Cleveland).

    Re: Could you go to every stadium in a year?

    I would think it might be possible with a favorable schedule. You'll need to hit 2 games most weekends, right? So you'd need a bunch of Early games followed by geographically close-ish Sunday/Monday night game.

    The Thursday games could potentially really help.

    That's how I'd start out. I'd plan trips to the stadiums that have Thurs games, then try to show horn the rest in.

      Washington and Baltimore would be possible.

        Yes, I think it can be done. The Thursday night games make it much easier. I think they start some time around Week 9 or 10.

        How 'bout driving? You could quite possibly hit PHI, WASH, and NYG in one weekend (WASH at 1 on Sunday, PHI at 8 on Sunday night, NYG on Monday) all driving. You may be able to hit all 3 Florida teams too the same way.

          Should be easily doable because there are 17 weeks of Sun/Mon football (34 games) + Thurs games.

          I also bet you could easily see every team.

            You cold probably also do Chicago / St. Louis, or St. Louis, Tennessee..... hmmm......

            Washington, Baltimore, Baltimore / Philly could work as could Washington, Philly, it's only a couple of hours. Washington / NY could be done if you have a Sunday 1 and a Sunday Night or Monday night game....

              If you don't have to see the entire game, I would think it should be possible. If Philly were playing an NFC opponent at 1:00 in Philly and the Steelers and Ravens were playing at M&T at 4:00 (national game of the week) and the skins were playing at home against the Cowboys on Sunday night, you would be able to hit those three stadiums in one day.

              I don't think this task would be that easy though, the above scenario, while it could happen, would be unlikely.

                I think not staying for the whole game is cheating. You gotta stay for the whole game and hopefully get some tailgating in when possible.

                This is possible, but an accommodating schedule is a must.

                  I'm thinking if you can get to every stadium, then yes, you SHOULD be able to see every team as well. If you don't, then you really screwed up.

                    Wouldn't it be better to catch the Steelers at all of their away games (plus 1 at home) and say screw it to seeing all the teams?

                          should be pretty easy if you leave teams like the colts, saints and vikes for post season the questions is what would it cost .

                            Doh. My bad.

                            Except for Giants Stadium where both the Jets and Giants play. I would have to go to that twice.

                              They do play each other there in the preseason opener (counting preseason games might be considered cheating, though).
                              Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                              Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                              We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                              We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
