]]>Camp Nou is home to the Barcelona Football Club and the fourth largest football (that’s football as in soccer) stadium in the world. Football season starts in August, though we find games are somewhat more enjoyable in September or October when the heat has broken.
We know what you’re thinking—isn’t Oktoberfest a German tradition? You’re right, but that hasn’t stopped Barcelonans from putting on a fall festival of their own. The event runs for 10 days every October and includes beer, live music, and traditional cuisine.
November 1st marks All Saints Day in Spain, a holiday many locals commemorate by eating roasted chestnuts, or “castanyas”. Street vendors begin selling the chestnuts, which are typically served hot and wrapped in newspaper, in the weeks leading up to the holiday. We definitely recommend giving them a try. Even if you don’t like them, they’re great for keeping your hands warm.

]]>Home to the Philadelphia Eagles, Lincoln Financial Field hosts public and private tours that last around 90 minutes and include a visit to the field, locker room, post-game interview room, broadcast booth, and press box.
For a quieter experience at the Seattle Seahawks’ home, a football tour is the way to go. During the 90 minute tour, you’ll get behind-the-scenes look at where the team practices and enters the field on game day, the suite and club levels of the stadium, and a look into the locker room.
While in Chicago, visit the Chicago Bears’ Soldier Field, the oldest football stadium in the U.S. The tour includes a look at the locker rooms, the South Courtyard, the Doughboy Statue, skyline suites, access to the field, and the grant concourse.

]]>So, what are the most impressive and striking backgrounds that you can see in the league’s 29 stadiums? Here are the top three picks.
The home of the Pittsburgh Steelers is located on the South Shore of Pittsburgh, an American city whose skyline is rivaled by few. From the cheap seats at the top of the bleachers, you’ll be able to see one of the many impressive buildings that tower over the city.
The Seattle Seahawks’ majestic home field, consistently rated as one of the best stadiums in the National Football League, is also lucky enough to have Seattle’s imposing skyline peer out behind the north stands of this raucous stadium.
Located just to the south of the United States’ third-largest city is Soldier Field, where the picturesque location on the shores of Lake Michigan allows those in the upper deck to spot the Chicago skyline. You’ll even be able to see the Willis Tower, the country’s third-tallest building.

]]>Four baseball teams which represent four of the five boroughs call New York their home. The two major league teams, the New York Yankees play at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and the New York Mets play at Citi Field in Flushing, Queens. The minor league teams, the Brooklyn Cyclones play at Key Span Park and the Staten Island Yankees play at Richmond County Bank Ballpark.
New York City doesn’t have its own football stadium, but there are two New York NFL teams—the New York Jets and the New York Giants. Both teams play in New Jersey at MetLife Stadium, which is just a few miles from midtown Manhattan and can be visited via public transportation.
Head to Madison Square Garden in Manhattan to see the New York Rangers face their opponents. The New York Islanders play at Nassau Coliseum, but it’s difficult to get there by public transportation.
New York is also home to three professional basketball teams—the New York Knicks, the Brooklyn Nets, and the WNBA team, the New York Liberty. You can also catch the Harlem Globetrotters if they’re in town. The New York Knicks and Harlem Globetrotters play at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, the Brooklyn Nets play at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and the New York Liberty play at Westchester County Center in White Plains.
