Wow, that really hit home on a lot of them but especially being depressed when football season ends. I need to go back and see how many I can check "yes" to. Or does that make me an even bigger dork?

Maybe you should add the Facebook Stadium Tour app to this list as well. I get excited when I can add a new place to my tour. Dork!
