In addition to visiting all 31 NFL venues for a home game of all 32 teams in 86 days, Barnhardt is raising money for the Ronald McDonald House of Central Ohio, where she volunteers twice weekly.
Barnhardt’s barnstorming has covered 24 stops so far. She blogs about the experiences at each locale for a website she started that is called Sports Wanderlust.
The idea stemmed from baseball trips she took with her sister, and was fueled by a connection with the record holder for Major League Baseball stadiums. She worked three jobs this summer, as a producer for an Ohio sports radio show, and in marketing and merchandising to save money for expenses.
