I get where youā€™re coming from for sure. But like you said, I donā€™t think itā€™s possible to have an NFL stadium at 55k nowadays. Even Green Bay has grown beyond that.

@Hoohoohoo remember when Wash got sued because they were faking their sell out streak for a decade or more. Fed Ex is a horrible stadium, poorly built and in a terrible location. Really has everything going against it.

All I know is the World Cup is coming to the US in 3 years and the DC metro didnā€™t have a high enough quality stadium to even be considered to host games. Thatā€™s a damn shame for the nationā€™s capital

Great Wolf just opened a location between Baltimore and Philadelphia. Doubt they want one between that one and Williamsburg.

Kalahari is building a gigantic park north of Fredricksburg already too.

I have no words. Itā€™s like someone read only the 4th chapter of a book - the shittiest chapter of them all - and declared the book to be a literary disaster.

Northern Virginia residents who used to go to a casino in West Virginia.

I had to file a goddamn Maryland tax return because my wife hit a small slots jackpot last year.

Letā€™s talk some hidden gem citiesā€¦ now I know every city has their issues, crime, bigotry, bad sports teams (Clevelandā€¦ Iā€™m looking at you)ā€¦ but I like the following hidden gems:

U.S:

  1. Little Rock - this is a hidden gem Air Force base townā€¦ it has its issues, but overall I like it.
  2. Castle Rock - It will get swallowed up by Denver and Colorado Springs soon, but it was great while it lasted!
  3. Santa Fe - Green or Red?

OCONUS:

  1. Tallinn - walled city w/ Estonians & Russians that you can see Helsinki from the coast? Quick 45 minute ferry over? Every time I go I want to move there
  2. Stavanger - if this Norwegian town didnā€™t cost 10x the amount it costs anywhere else, Iā€™d want to move here too.
  3. Terceira Island - i seriously though about buying land on this islandā€¦ but i canā€™t understand Portuguese. haha!
  4. Annecy - canals like Venice in France and less than an hour from Geneva? Sign me up! Side note: the few times Iā€™ve taken the bus between Annecy and Geneva, the Swiss border patrol rough someone up on the busā€¦ so there is that downside.
  5. Vicenza - Had the opportunity to move there in 2013ā€¦ I kinda wish we did. There wouldā€™ve been a BeFED right in the town!

edit: I could go on here, but I stopped at the first 5 OCONUS ones off the top of my headā€¦

When I was a broke Airman stationed in COS, Iā€™d do a lot of my clothes shopping at the outlet in Castle Rock. Was a little cheaper than the department stores.

As for surprising towns, I was actually a little surprised by OKC. Only went once when on an extended TDY to Sheppard, but it was actually more to do/see than I thought.

Can you get around Talinn OK just knowing English? Iā€™m curious about Estonia as a trip destination (or part of a bigger trip).
