Finding fellow roadtrippers at the HOF

It didn’t take very long for us to run into some old friends and contacts.

Walking out of the media room, and directly into the concourse and exhibit areas here at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, we bump into Adam Goldstein and Hans Steiniger, two football roadtrippers extraordinaire.

We met Adam last year; he is from the United Kingdom, and during the 2008 NFL football season, he crisscrossed North America and visited every single NFL stadium, with side trips back to Wembley Stadium in London, and even to the Bills/Dolphins game up in Toronto. He maintains a web site at adamsfootballtrip.com.

Hans Steiniger is 26 stadiums into his multi year tour of what he calls “Quest for 31″. He should wrap things up this year, and with the help of his lovely wife and daughter who accompany him to some of the games, he is also building a lifetime of adventures and memories. Hans chronicles his tour at his own web site, nflfootballstadiums.com.

These guys weren’t hard to pick out of the crowd here in Canton – Hans is wearing his trademark “Quest for 31″ jersey, while Adam is garbed in one of the funkiest custom made hats with his football trip emblazoned on the top. Good stuff!

We exchanged pleasantries and shared plans for future trips – the boys are going to be in Buffalo for next Saturday’s exhibition opener at The Ralph, so perhaps a meetup and some tailgating plans in the works!

L-R… Hans, Peter, Adam and Andrew… road trip warriors!
