Groundhopping & Futbology – How We Track Every Stadium We Visit
If you’re here at Pitchside.art, chances are you love football culture just as much as we do. And if you’re like us, that also means you get a kick out of groundhopping – travelling to different stadiums, soaking in the atmosphere, and ticking another ground off the list.
We’re obsessed with it. Whether it’s a Bundesliga giant, a lower-league Friday night ground, or a cup game in the middle of nowhere, every stadium has its own story.
And here’s a little secret: we use the Futbology app to keep track of it all.
What is Groundhopping?
Groundhopping is simply the hobby of visiting as many different football grounds as you can. Some fans set goals, like completing “the 92” in England, others just enjoy the adventure of discovering new clubs and new atmospheres. For us, it’s about memories, culture, and stories that live beyond the 90 minutes.
Why We Use Futbology When Groundhopping
This isn’t a partnership, just something we genuinely use ourselves. The Futbology app makes groundhopping so much easier:
-
Find matches nearby when you’re travelling.
-
Check in at stadiums and build your personal log.
-
Collect badges for derbies, milestones, and anniversaries (yes, we’re hooked).
-
See friends’ trips and compare grounds visited.
It’s like a digital scrapbook of every ground you’ve ever been to. And trust us, once you start, it’s addictive.
Groundhopping Tips from Us
-
Double up weekends – try an early kick-off and a late one in the same city.
-
Don’t skip small grounds – the atmosphere can surprise you.
-
Always grab a scarf, programme, or pint – it makes the memory even stronger.
-
Log it in Futbology – because one day you’ll want to look back at how it all started.
