Some people wouldn’t agree that football stadiums, history, and romance can fit in the same sentence. Such people aren’t relevant in this situation. They can keep holding hands while walking on beaches or eating picnics in local parks…

Yet those who know that combining a passion for pro football and their partner usually results in spectacular dates should probably keep reading this article.
We’ll mention some little-known strategies for meeting football fans on hookup sites, but we’ll also create an ultimate list of stadiums to visit with your partner. And, of course, we’ll include historical facts…
-A Dating Site to Meet Your Football Lover
Nowadays, it seems like everyone prefers casual dates over long-term relationships. That’s good because that paved the path for a high-level site for local hookups where singles can quickly filter the community and meet people with similar interests. That’s possible because of the modern features such as matchmaking games and filters. While matchmaking games are great because they let the algorithm know about one’s taste, it may take a couple of hours of swiping to find someone. Of course, that doesn’t stop singles from chatting with more than one person.
But while most people focus on Hot or Not games, those looking for quick wins know that manual filters are the most effective tool for pinpointing ideal partners. They let people hide everyone outside their area or show only those members with desired body type, hair color, etc.
Some people don’t know that manual filters don’t work only on physical features. They let singles filter the community based on their interests so football fans seeking other football fans can find each other in seconds…
However, for that to work, a person must mention that they love football on their profiles. Even uploading photos in football gear or at football stadiums helps because other fans can instantly relate.
And if those pictures are from one of the stadiums below, date proposals probably keep coming…
-Rose Bowl (Pasadena, California)
Known as one of the most iconic stadiums in American sports history, the Rose Bowl has hosted numerous historic events, including Super Bowls and college football's Rose Bowl Game. It’s set in San Gabriel Mountains making it ideal for romantic dates.
Since 1922 Rose Bowl has become synonymous with college football's New Year's Day tradition. A fun fact about the Rose Bowl is that it wasn’t a Bowl but a horseshoe. It was expanded several times. The southern stands were completed in 1928. That’s when it got its famous shape.
-Lambeau Field (Green Bay, Wisconsin)
Home of the Green Bay Packers, Lambeau Field is often called the "Frozen Tundra" due to its chilly climate during football season. A romantic date at Lambeau Field could include a tour and exploring its rich history and legendary status in the NFL. Lambeau Field opened in 1957 and has become an enduring symbol of football excellence and community spirit. And here’s a fun fact that might impress a fellow football fan… Lambeau Field is the second-largest stadium in the NFL and has 81,441 seats.
-Soldier Field (Chicago, Illinois)
Soldier Field is the oldest NFL stadium in continuous operation. Add a prime location along the shores of Lake Michigan, and it’s clear why a couple of football fans would love to have a romantic date there.
It was built in 1924 as a memorial to American soldiers. Since then, the stadium has had a couple of makeovers, but its energy never changed. It’s still perfect for a romantic evening. Even a vanilla sunset picnic on the surrounding park grounds becomes memorable when followed by a stroll through the stadium's historic columns and arches.
And if the stadium takes your breath away, that’s because it was one of the most expensive sports venues in the US at that time. The stadium cost $13 million to construct (in 1922), which would be $232 million in 2023.
-Michigan Stadium (Ann Arbor, Michigan)
Commonly known as "The Big House," Michigan Stadium is the largest stadium in the United States. With a seating capacity of over 100,000 spectators, the stadium offers a grand backdrop for a memorable date night during a game or even during one of the tours. Built in 1927, Michigan Stadium has a rich history of hosting legendary football games, making it a unique and impressive setting for a romantic outing.
Sitting there, looking at the empty field, and talking about all the Hall of Fame guys who touched that grass is a great date idea for football fans. Now imagine how exciting it’d be to be a drop in the ocean of fans enjoying the game at The Big House.
That goes right to our dating bucket list.

Biggest Football Cover Up
The following are words I never thought I’d write: this story concerns the early days of tarpaulins covering football fields. Like many stories you read here, I came across it while reviewing an article about another topic (coaching clinics in the 1920s) when I spotted a neighboring article with an interesting headline, in this case: — www.footballarchaeology.com
Timothy P Brown uncovers a story about covers that kept the gridiron fields dry during in-climate weather. The hay, sawdust, tarpaulins, tarps, and everything in between in this history of football field protection.
