PPG Arena

My Red Wings didn’t make it into the NHL Playoffs, which was disappointing.  Locally the Pens fans had their season come to an end this week as well.  This statute is outside the Pens’ stadium in downtown Pittsburgh.  Honestly, I don’t know which players are represented.  I’m sure a Pens fan could tell us.

Paul Brown Stadium

Jake and I had a nice quick trip down to Cincinnati to photograph the Steelers game against the Bengals a couple of weeks ago.  I captured this photo the following morning before we traveled back to Pittsburgh.  Below are a few others (one from inside the stadium just before kick-off and another drone photo the following morning).

Ford Field

I want my Detroit Lions to win so badly.  And I don’t mean just a game, I want a deep run into the Playoffs or dare I say a Super Bowl win.  Is that too much to ask for?  Lions fans have suffered for far too long.  I understand that the Lions troubles are tied directly to ownership and poor management decisions for years….  Poor draft choices, coaching decisions, selection of coaches, poor trades, etc….. but fans like myself shouldn’t have to deal with this ongoing pain.  At least I don’t think so.  So we need a little football magic to kick in this upcoming off-season and run through March of 2020….. 

In the meantime, Lions fans just have to deal with the fact we have a nice stadium and a poorly performing organization.  I took this photo last season, when the Steelers traveled to Detroit.  I got to the game 5 hours in advance to photograph the stadium.

Olympiyskiy

I’ve been absent from the digital world for the last 10 days, while Blair and I traveled to the Ukraine.  We spent some time in Kiev (beginning and end of the trip), Chernobyl, and a few small villages.  We spent most of our time within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, so you can imagine the number of future posts I’ll have from Chernobyl.  I took this photo from our hotel window at the beginning of the trip in Kiev.  This is their Olympic Stadium, used primarily as a football (soccer) venue.
