My favorite shop got even better

So yesterday I was looking forward to doing my all-time favorite shop. I am a major football nut, and now that it has a few visits under my belt, I have a system for doing shops and I don't end up missing more than a few minutes of the game. Ago yesterday and take my oldest son who is a US Navy vet who did nine-month boots on the ground in Iraq. I didn't realize when he agreed to go with me that it was going to be day for the salute to veterans at my stadium. I was super amazing to be there and to be a part of it. I ended up with tears streaming down my face. So cool!!

I can't wait until my son who is in the Navy is a "Navy vet." I'm glad you had a great time!

Awww, what a great day and an unexpected bit of happy!

I have not yet seen footbll shops......I think I need to start signing up for more companies!!! Any hints here? =)

ps, I'm new, but I've been lurking around here a while, shopping for 5 years as well. I do a lot of retail and food shops.

JudeNev, I would suggest signing up for a ton of the listed companies. I am signed up with 125 (exactly) and have never seen a stadium shop despite being in a major city with all sports available. I continue to add a few companies per week. I'm almost 7 years in and there are tons more to go, but I am having fun along the way!

I guess the only advice I would give is to keep signing up. I know there are multiple companies that do different teams. I been with this company three years before I first saw the shop opportunity, so I don't know if I had to be there certain amount of time in order to see them or if they had just gotten the contract. I had only done one shop during that time so I'm assuming it's the latter. I haven't seen any sign of a rotation on these and I have been able to do every one I have requested. Given that information there is no way I would give up company name because I don't want the competition for the shops.

I am close to 150, but have shopped for very few. I am always willing to offer advice on questions that pertain to a particular shop or offer suggestions, but being in the rural area I am in, there are limited opportunities for shops as it is. It is definitely more competitive recently. Since I work full time, I can't check email until after 5, so most of the really great shops are gone.

I've shopped for about 20% of the companies with which I've signed up as a shopper. Some were one-offs, others are favorites I'd shop for any time, but I don't really anticipate a time when I'm actively shopping for more than 20-25% of the companies I'm with, as many shop industries I'm not interested in shopping (I may not have known until I was enrolled, or enrolled anyways with the hopes they will expand their industries) or aren't active in my area (yet).
