The Brothers Brandt Sports Podcast

We love traveling the country watching NFL games in the fall. Arriving early for the pregame festivities and cheering on the home team is so much fun for us! One of our favorite things to do in the different cities is to tour the stadiums and practice facilities while visiting. Tours are a great way to see behind the scenes and things you wouldn’t normally experience on gameday with tens of thousands of fans in attendance. In this episode, we detail the NFL stadium gameday experiences we believe to be the 32nd to 20th best in the country. In the following two episodes we will cover the 19 others!
