Suggestion: For every NBA, MLB, and NFL city, find something unique either about every stadium, or find something unique that happens during games.

Examples:

* New Orleans Arena: Fans stand up until the first Hornets basket is scored. (I know a few team's fans follow this practice, but it's still just a few, and it is interesting.)

There is also a pre-game prayer (both at the Hornets, and at Oklahoma City).

* Miller Park: Bratwurst race.

* AT&T Park: McCovey Cove, brick wall.

* Fenway Park: Green Monster (37 foot wall in left field)

* Power Balance Arena: Used to have fans ringing cowbells. Was one of the loudest arenas.

* Wrigley Field: The ivy. The counter with the years since last World Series Championship.

* Chase Field: Retractable roof. Swimming pool.

* Tropicana Field: Has a dome, but is not retractable. Has the catwalks near the ceiling.

* PETCO Park: Has that mini-park next to the park. It is used by residents when there aren't any games.

* O.co Coliseum: Most foul territory of any ballpark. Also, the playing surface is below ground level. Actually 6 meters below sea level too.

I know this is combining sports, but your blog is called "24/7 Sports Zone". You'd probably list all of the NFL ones together, then the NBA ones, etc.

Plus I think it's a good way to get the geography of North American sports, and learn something about each city's arena.
