SpectrumI’ve also attended events at quite a few high school fields and gyms, particularly in Bergen County, N.J., where I live. I was the sports department for Leader Newspapers (Lyndhurst) from 1987-96.
Please note that in cases where a venue had a “real” name and then assumed a corporate name, I’ve listed the “real” name. I’m a traditionalist! Otherwise, the name of the venue when I attended the event is given. For colleges, the name of the school when I last attended an event there is given. The number in parentheses is the number of venues in the category at which I’ve seen an event.
