Obscure sports trivia

The Superdome?

 

Wrigley Field?

 

Rich/Ralph Wilson/Whatever Corporate Name Stadium in Buffalo?

 

It is Wrigley Field, which was also the home of the Chicago Cardinals for some years.

 

That's great. That's the key: two tenants.
Anybody else find irony in the fact that Wrigley was the home of both the Cubs and the Cardinals? This is the first time this has occurred to me.

 

Since it’s going to be the 100th season for the New York Football Giants, who was their opponent in their first regular season game in 1925?

 

The Duluth Eskimos. Just a WAG but what a great nickname. I realize it's culturally insensitive but I loved it for Edmonton's team.

 

Not the correct answer, but it is a great name.

 

Not as great as the Providence Steam Roller.

 

And that franchise hasn't been the same since they changed the name.

 

And that’s the correct answer!

My personal favorite 1920s-era NFL team name is the Tonawanda Kardex (aka Lumbermen). They were a semipro team for a few years in the early 20s, filled out an application, paid the $50 fee, joined the NFL, played one road game against the Rochester Jeffersons, got killed 45-0, and never played another NFL game.

 

Wondering where you found this information. I just looked it up on Pro Football Reference, and it shows Giants Stadium first with 492 games, followed by Soldier Field (464), Arrowhead (428), Lambeau (423), the Bills' stadium (415), LA Coliseum (409) and the Superdome (401). Wrigley is 10th on its list with 370 games.

This list (NFL, AFL, and AAFC Stadiums | Pro-Football-Reference.com) includes NFL, AFL and AAFC games, which I guess could be the difference in the two, as the AAFC's Chicago Rockets/Hornets played at Soldier Field for four seasons, and AFL or AAFC teams also played in Buffalo, LA, San Diego and Cleveland, although that doesn't explain the Superdome.
