- QFTCISG Game 8, Rounds 9-10: anatomy, cynical challenge - 3 Updates
| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Dec 31 03:00AM -0600 This is a reminder that you have only about 20 hours remaining, as I post this, to enter Rotating Quiz #277. For further details see the original contest 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". 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. 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, Toronto | "We are full of digital chain letters and msb@vex.net | warnings about marmalade." --Matt Ridley My text in this article is in the public domain. |
