1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! IT IS OUTDATED!, March 16, 2001

More than half of the venues listed in this book are no longer in use. They are either gone or have been replaced with new stadiums. This book needs to be updated to reflect all the new stadiums built in the last 6 years since the books printing.

This book was a huge dissapointment because it is so outdated! I did not pay attention to when it was published or I never would have bought it. My 2 favorite teams The Cleveland Browns and The Columbus Blue Jackets do not even show up in this book.

What a huge waste of money!

An useful book in 1998, getting bit useless in year 2000. A lot of that has to due to old stadiums long gone and new ones coming on line. A book like this needs to be updated every other year or something. 1996 is simply too outdated to be useful to current travelers. I also wish there were more information on nearby lodging instead of one or two entries and a map on how to get there. For a guide book, its rather limited in scope and information. Still, its the only book of its kind right now so we are stuck with it.
