Groundhopping

During a two week break in league action for my club Columbus (in conjunction with the FIFA international dates) I decided to look into and then embark on a hobby known as groundhopping, where a person or people attend as many stadiums (and in the purest sense, matches) as possible. Best known in England and Germany, this hobby occurs in numerous nations and involves clubs and leagues from all levels. Fortunately for me, I live close to four clubs in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) and they play in the Midwest Division - Great Lakes Conference. This league is considered to be fourth division on the American Soccer Pyramid and the players do not get paid.
