Best Retirement Spots for Football Fans
With fall fast approaching, it’s time to gear up for football season. If you’re about to enjoy retirement, too, it’s a chance to get back in touch or spend even more quality time with your favorite team.
But what if you’re the most fanatic of fans, the sort of guy or gal for whom all those years of hard work merely distracted you from your true calling: Sitting in the stands, braving foul weather, screaming your head off? So, where’s the best spot for a die-hard to settle down in order to get the biggest possible fix of every sack, touchdown, and fumble America has to offer?
To help narrow down the pigskin possibilities, we dug into our database of more than 2,000 Best Places to Retire, and came up with 10 destinations to appeal to the hard-core football fan. Picks range from retirement meccas like Tempe, Ariz., to towns with some of the nation’s most enduring gridiron traditions, like Cornhusker-proud Lincoln, Neb. (If you’re a fan of another locale—and we’re guessing there are lots of opinions out there—feel free to offer your own game plan in the comments section below.)
