What is the Quest for 31®?
In commemoration of his 31st year on the planet, NFL Super Fan, Hans Steiniger, noted the parallelism between his age at the time and the number of Football Stadiums located around the country and he challenged himself to see a game in each one as a fan of the home team.

The Quest for 31 began as Hans started attending home games in NFL Stadiums other than Ralph Wilson Stadium, which is located in his hometown of Buffalo, New York. He marveled at how the home team experience in each NFL city differs as one travels across the league, as it is heavily influenced by geography, weather, and local culture creating a truly unique gameday atmosphere in each region of the country. The Quest for 31 therefore quickly evolved into a city by city personal research project on the home team experience across the National Football League. To that end, Hans immerses himself into local NFL culture by purchasing a home team NFL jersey for each city and tailgating in stadium parking lots with hometown fans, devouring local foods, and drinking locally brewed beers. Hans is searching for a well-rounded, typical gameday experience for all 32 NFL teams, and his website, NFLFootballStadiums.com, is dedicated to bringing these experiences to the masses.

Each area of the country has its own local traditions that are observed by NFL fans contributing to the uniqueness of the NFL experience provided. However, it usually takes an outsider, someone unfamiliar with the norm to recognize what's typically taken for granted and highlight what makes that area great. That's what he is. Hans is the Green Bay Packer fan wearing a head of cheese at Lambeau Field. He's the Terrible Towel waver eating a Primanti Bros sandwich at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. He's the Cincinnati Bengals fan so hopped up on Skyline Chili and local brews that he belts out the theme to "WKRP in Cincinnati" in the upper deck at Paul Brown Stadium. He's the guy who's barking in the Dawg Pound at Cleveland Browns Stadium. He's the Kansas City Chiefs fan, giggling to himself every time they fire up the "Tomahawk Chop Chant" due to the political incorrectness of it all. He’s the stranger clad in Maroon and Gold that approaches randoms outside FedEx Field to sing “Hail to the Redskins!” on camera (Best Fight Song in the League). He's the Oakland Raider fan in full makeup wearing chrome-spiked forearm guards to complete his transformation into the JokerRaider. And yes, Hans is the die hard Buffalo Bills fan, cooking up a veritable tailgaters feast, using hand tools and garden implements with Kenny “Pinto Ron” Johnson. Hans is every fan. He's the guy who's most excited by the prospect of immersion into local NFL fandom, and in the discovering what makes each NFL team’s fans the best in the league. Feel free to share in his exploits at each of the 31 NFL Football Stadiums around the league by starting with the button labeled NFL Stadium Reviews.

        NFL Stadium Review of the Week


Jerry World at Cowboys Stadium
One word to describe Cowboys Stadium in Arlington? Incredible. Truly Incredible. From everything I read, the impetus behind the construction of Cowboys Stadium, besides erecting the most profitable structure in the National Football League, was to present the fan with an experience unlike what they might get at home. After my visit to Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, I’m more than pleased to report that “Jerry World” or “The Palace in Dallas” and it’s become known through the mainstream media does more than deliver. More than just a football game in an arena, for eight weekends throughout the regular season Jerry Jones strives to create a pro football fan experience that transcends even the product down on the field. From the larger than life, Guinness Book of World Record holding, high definition video screen to multilevel party pass common areas to the Rhythm and Blues Dancers and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, gameday has become a circus … a celebration to the larger than life Dallas Cowboys franchise. It’s fantastic, it’s a spectacle, it’s an awe inspiring celebration of the game I love, and I enjoyed every breath-taking minute of my experience in the new home of the Dallas Cowboys. Love him or hate him, Jerry Jones has to be respected as the best owner in professional sports. Here’s a guy that year after year does everything it takes to put a winner on the field in Dallas … and now this. Don’t’ get me wrong, with its $50,000 personal seating licenses (PSL’s), inflated ticket prices and $75.00 parking fee, this $1.15 billion facility, is designed to take every dollar you have, but what you get in return is well worth the price of

Cheap NFL Tickets

Based upon my travels to multiple NFL stadiums to attend NFL games throughout the football season, I've been asked by many where I get my NFL tickets. Or more specifically how do I get cheap NFL tickets? Well, in attending over twenty games in the last two years, you get rather adept at identifying NFL ticket sources and more specifically locating the places where you can get cheap NFL tickets.
I've been most successful buying tickets through TicketCity, E-bay, StubHub, or TicketsNow and I've set up a system of links on each stadium page that allows the user to quickly check and compare between the three to see who has the best prices. If you are looking for cheap NFL tickets, I would suggest following one of the links below to the NFL tickets links on my site. Compare the prices and feel free to buy NFL Tickets online.

How to Compare NFL Ticket Prices
As you compare NFL ticket prices, it is important to consider the price that tickets are being sold for at the stadium box office and also their location on an NFL stadium seating map. You want to make sure that
quoted prices are within reason and that you're comparing apples to apples with regard to the location  of your seats within the stadium. For each of the NFL Ticket purchase areas on nflfootballstadiums.com, I've listed the "face value" price for all seating areas as listed by the stadium box office. This will be useful to ensure that if you purchase NFL tickets from an online ticket broker or a scalper on the street, that you're getting reasonable value for your money. It is also extremely important to note the date and time printed on the tickets, as well as whether or not the tickets are

Sun Life Stadium - Super Bowl XLIV: Indianapolis Colts vs. New Orleans Saints - February 7, 2010
Gameday came quickly, but even after an entire weekend of pregame celebration, I was up at 6:00AM ready to begin Super Sunday. I couldn’t sleep … how could I hope to contain the enthusiasm of a life-long dream finally coming true?  Just to frame this appropriately for you, we’re talking about a SuperFan who’s traveled to every stadium in the National Football League, a guy whose chosen mission over the last four years was to truly understand what it’s like to be a fan of every franchise in the NFL … a Buffalo Bills fan who longed to return to the Super Bowl … any Super Bowl at this point. Well, with a ticket in hand for the most popular sporting event in the country (thank you TicketCity.com), one I’d finally accepted that  I would never be fortunate enough to afford, there was no way I was getting a good night’s sleep. I found myself parked outside of Sun Life Stadium, Lot Blue 2 at seven in the morning. I was the first fan at the gate and the only fan onsite at the stadium parking lot until about a quarter to ten.     
 
 
   
 
The parking lot itself was scheduled to open at eleven, so I occupied my time setting up the tripod for some early morning photos, basking in what to me was an unseasonal February sunshine, and waiting for others to arrive. By ten thirty, the line had formed behind me and I spent some time talking gameday strategy with the other fans that had collected nearby. My plan for the day was to spend half of the pregame as a Colts fan and the other half as a Saints fan in order to
