Every Sunday the Stadium Parking lot is full of fans wearing red and a wide variety of tailgating feasts. The Cardinals have sold out every game since they opened the University of Phoenix Stadium in 2006 which is really an impressive accomplishment, having seen the paltry crowds that would show up at the concrete oven, otherwise known as Sun devil Stadium, in Tempe the Cardinals previous stadium. I have experienced both of these of these crowds and have to say the Arizona Cardinal fans are amongst the most hospitable, diehard fans in the National Football League. Although extremely drunk people do show up for the games more often than not, much fewer fights are instigated, and more fights are diffused, by Cardinal fans. Through thick and thin the Cardinal fans have stuck with their team through the searing heat and have proven their loyalty year in and year
The Omaha Storm Chasers are a Minor League Baseball team founded just outside of Omaha, Nebraska in the city of Papillion.

No other NFL team is located in such a small locality. In fact, the smallest venues other than Green Bay are Buffalo and New Orleans, each with over 1 million people. The NFL cities of New York, Chicago, Dallas, Philadelphia, and Houston have more people than the entire state of Wisconsin. Yet, the Packers have one of the most loyal followings in sports, and that following has made them the 10th most valuable franchise in the NFL with a worth of more than $1.95 billion. If you are not amazed yet, consider that the Packers have only ever had three owners.
With a background that includes swaying palm trees and the San Gabriel Mountains there is no other ballpark that you could be at other than Dodger Stadium. It’s the third oldest ballpark behind Fenway Park and Wrigley Field, but Dodger Stadium looks as if it is one of the newest stadiums in baseball while keeping its classic charm. The Dodgers franchise was originally located in Brooklyn where they played at Ebbets Field for 44 seasons. Walter O’Malley purchased the team in 1950 and began to work on having a new ballpark built for the Dodgers in Brooklyn. New York City politicians prevented O’Malley from building a ballpark here leading him to look at other options.
Plus, the brand new McLane Stadium brings a lot of excitement to the area with more seating for new fans. Honestly, if you want to find a true Baylor fan, ask him to name three quarterbacks before RG3, if he can name some then he 's a legitimate Baylor fan. Yet, the bandwagoners aren 't even necessarily the worst part, with the recent winning going on fans in Waco think they 're the royalty of college football. Like, chill out a lil ' bit there, you 're just a joker who 's had some funny one liners recently.
The new stadium is said to include many new and improved features including new state of the art technology, and a huge hospitality center. The SunTrust stadium will also be about 20% smaller than the Braves original stadium. Fans fear that with the smaller space will create a problem with crowding, but the Brave’s employees seem to be confident in their actions as they state “We do not discount the concerns appellants have raised about the wisdom of the stadium project and the commitments Cobb County has made to entice the Braves to move there”(Sigo). The concerns for available space in the stadium has not gotten the Braves anxious at
As baseball is considered to be a great American past time, football is our present time. Many similarities and differences appear to the fans who watch these two sports. Most people think football is a sport that is rugged and dirty while baseball is simple and clean. Football and baseball are both All-American sports. Between the players, mindset, and amount of games there are known differences but also some unknown.
Why the Super Bowl Should Come to Kansas City “Every game I've ever played, regardless if it was pre-season or Super Bowl, meant the same to me, and I laid it all on the line.” Brett Favre. People love the Super Bowl because it’s the biggest game of the year for what some people call the most competitive sport. Having it in Kansas City would boost the city’s revenue and perhaps more people would come and visit again. The three reasons the Super Bowl should come to Kansas City are, the city has great transportation, hospitality, and food, it’s in the middle of the country so no one will have to travel cross country, and that the Super Bowl has never been to Kansas City, and where else is there to host it that’s as great a place as Kansas City?
There are 7 million going into each 30-second commercial, $215 million on food and beverages, hotels, Super Bowl merchandise, and more, and the average price for a ticket range is around $10,752. The Allegiant Stadium: What has it brought since it was built, and are we getting back what we put in?

Baseball stadiums are seen the same way. People gather there to enjoy the atmosphere and watch their favorite teams play. These places by both groups feel a sense of belonging; it is somewhere they can be themselves. IV. Conclusion
Personal Identity in Cleveland Browns Fandom Nicknamed the “Factory of Sadness”, FirstEnergy Stadium is home to the Cleveland Browns. This nickname comes from the unique history of the Cleveland Browns and their loyal fans who seem to end every season in disappointment. How do I understand the fans' dismay? Because I am one of the fans in the Browns’ fandom that seems to be let down each and every year.
Also, if any professional sport teams were forced to change their names, it would have a huge negative impact on commercial products. Lingebach addresses in his article how “in another sign of support, the majority of Washington, DC fans would not purchase new team merchandise if the Redskins changed their name” (qtd. in Lingebach 2). If Native Americans and most of the National Football League fans infer that the name is not derogatory, the Redskins should not have to change their name. The Kansas City Chiefs have been lucky enough not to face the same issues as the Washington
member back when you were a kid? You would just do things. You never thought to yourself, “What are the relative merits of learning baseball versus football?” You just ran around the playground and played baseball and football. You built sand castles and played tag and asked silly questions and looked for bugs and dug up grass and pretended you were a sewer monster.
The sun illuminates countless all-American names, with the occasional Coke or Papa John’s sponsor signs. The play clock ticks down to zero, and the stadium is finally filled to maximum capacity. Kickoff commences, players scramble across the field, and suddenly the only problems in the world hinge on if the Nike plastered football is past the downs marker. There are the elite suites high above the stadium cloaked in shade, but the majority are cramped and blisteringly hot. We are all united as one, cheering our team to victory, and thriving on the culture that is modern day sports.
