Cool idea. Only knew MetLife from driving there. Psyched with the Raider's answer, as I drive past it every day when working out of our HQ.

I got 35. I should have gotten a few more of those though.

Got 42. Missed New Hampshire of all places (know where the correct answer is, but would have never guessed that was the biggest).

I quit when it took me 3 guesses to get the one in my home state. I realized I was obviously not thinking clearly enough for this one.

There were a couple of these already, but I didn't like the setup and there were misspellings all over the place so I made my own.

Got all the double digit ones, I was happy about that. Got 71. You could have made this one 2 hours and I would still have been working on it.

Only got 66. Didn't even get to Florida, and skipped Idaho. Missed two cities I've attended games, should've started with those (instead of starting with Dayton, as a tip to tradition, well, new tradition.)

I got 25%. Maybe could have gotten more, but I panicked at the relatively low time limit.

Also, Ron Tugnutt is listed twice. Not sure if that's an error, or if you just love you some Ron Tugnutt.

13. Though I missed some softballs looking back at it. Probably would have gotten 17-18 had I turned the music off and really thought about it.

Damn. They all make sense after looking at the results. I only got 46% but I am definitely going to look for a K-Jizz shirt.

yep, KRON was originally owned by the newspaper, the Chronicle. Like WGN- "World's Greatest Newspaper", owned by the Chicago Tribune.
