I don't know how true this is (it's from Wikipedia), but I was reading about bank of America stadium, and I thought this was interesting:

One alternative was near NASCAR's Charlotte Motor Speedway and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in northeast Mecklenburg County. Another was at the intersection of I-85 and US 74 in western Gaston County. A popular option was to locate the facility near Carowinds amusement park, with the 50 yard line being on the state border of North Carolina and South Carolina.

If you are connected to the Internet, your history is 'stalked' by all kinds of companies/sites/etc. The only way to really protect your online history is to disconnect from the Internet. :D I know all kinds of things are logged all over the Internet.

Most ads use your online history to serve you ads that might interest you. If I buy something from Amazon.com, for example, I can rest assured that the next ad that loads for me on CC will be related to that product.

It used to have a covered queue line. To my knowledge it was never indoors.

Or if you Google (or Bing, etc) something, ads relating to that search might pop up wherever you go.

Correct. You should assume that anything you do is potentially being tracked or sniffed.

That is Probably what she remembered because I know they went to the Pavilion every time they went to the beach. Thanks!

Let it be formally put into writing that I wish for ownership of this site to be transferred to Jay, Wormy, or arby after my roof collapses on me in my sleep tonight from the two feet of snow on it. They can fight it out to see who gets it.
