- RQ #276 - ANSWERS & SCORES - 1 Update
| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Dec 26 01:55AM -0600 This is Rotating Quiz #277, and this one is for the sports fans, in the hope that the next RQer who sets a single-topic quiz chooses a topic other than sports. I'd like to thank "Calvin" for stepping in to run RQ #276 when the first two people who were in line to do it did not, and for choosing a question set that allowed me to win. As usual, the first choice to set RQ 278 will be the winner of this one. In case of a tie, the first tiebreaker will be who scored on the hardest questions, and the second tiebreaker will be who posted first. As usual, please answer only from your own knowledge and post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single posting, quoting the questions you are answering and placing your answers below each one. You have until the end of the year to enter, by Toronto time; that gives you 5 days and about 21 hours from the time of posting. This quiz asks you to give the names of some teams in professional sports (or former names, or former teams). Answers may omit any geographical or sponsorship part of the name, e.g. "Maple Leafs" would be sufficient without "Toronto". 1 point for each correct answer. Answers may repeat. Note that "football" in this quiz may include any sport known by that word. A team "playing at" a stadium means they play their home games there. Descriptions are not necessarily complete; for example, if two names are given for a stadium, it may have had others. If nothing is said otherwise, information is about a current team and its current home stadium. Disclaimer: In most cases when writing this quiz, I have accepted information from Wikipedia as correct. 1. The principal team playing at Paul Brown Stadium. 2. NBA team that played under this name 2004-14. For most of that time they played at the Time Warner Cable Arena. 3. Minor-league baseball team that played at LaGrave Field in Fort Worth 2001-14, most recently in the United League. 4. Football team formed in 2006, whose home arena has been known in English as the Free State Stadium, Vodaphone Stadium, and Toyota Stadium. 5. Football team formed in 1995, whose home was renamed from Alltel Stadium to EverBank Field. 6. Football team playing at the Brisbane Cricket Ground. 7. The principal team playing at Ford Field. 8. Football team playing at BC Place. 9. WNBA team playing at the Target Center, Minneapolis. 10. Football team, formed in 1995, whose home was renamed from Ericsson Stadium to Bank of America Stadium. 11. NHL team whose home was renamed from BankAtlantic Center to BB&T Center. 12. EIHL team whose home arena is the National Ice Centre. 13. The principal team playing at Tim Hortons Field. 14. The principal team playing at Comerica Park. 15. NHL team that played 1920-25 at the Barton St. Arena, Hamilton. 16. Bonus question for show-offs, but not counting for the quiz: one of the teams in this quiz was formed by the merger of two teams that themselves would *each* have fitted the theme of the quiz. Name both. -- Mark Brader | "On our campus the UNIX system has proved to be not Toronto | only an effective software tool, but an agent of msb@vex.net | technical and social change within the University." | -- John Lions, 1979 My text in this article is in the public domain. |

Oh! Sorry, I missed the results until now because the entire subject line was in block capitals and therefore it was killfiled as spam. Okay, one 277 coming up. -- Mark Brader | "But [he] had already established his own reputation Toronto | as someone who wrote poetry that mentioned the el." msb@vex.net | --Al Kriman |
