There are two Guinness World Records that define the limits of fan devotion to the National Football League: the fastest time to visit all NFL stadiums and the most NFL games attended in a single season. The current record for the fastest stadium tour belongs to John Bailey, who visited all 32 NFL teams (30 stadiums) in just 74 days back in 2021. Meanwhile, the most games attended in a single regular season is 33, a mark set in 2024 by Hope Leon and Erin Ramsey.  What makes these records even more remarkable is that back in 2002, long before primetime overload and streaming services transformed the modern NFL viewing experience, Peter Baroody traveled more than 30,000 miles in 107 days, attending 33 games to become the first person ever certified by Guinness as the “Most Ardent NFL Fan.”  Without Pete setting the standard, it's doubtful that so many fans would view NFL travel as something worth undertaking.
