Sports Stadium / Google Search Chrome Extension

TimWitt2 — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 13:58:38 GMT

Hey everybody,

Inspired by this I decided to create my own Google Chrome Extension.

In my extension, whenever you open a new Tab, it will create an interactive leaflet map of a random NFL or MLB stadium. I have included a google search box, which will make it easy to use this as your starting page.

You are also able to add "shortcut buttons" to some of the more popular social web pages (twitter, facebook, gmail...).

If you are a die hard fan of a certain NFL or MLB team, you can always open a new Tab just to your team.

You can find my extension HERE!

If you like it please rate it, share it and let me know what you think

Tim

This is cool! I think adding a way to mix all stadiums would be cool! or have college teams too!

When you choose to show a stadium randomly, it will have choose from both NFL and MLB, is this what you mean?

I am still debating what would be the next most popular places I should add. I assume college football stadiums would be very exciting.

Tim, this is awesome! Thanks for sharing. I agree with Rickey on college teams

Thanks, I assume Texas A&M should be the first stadium I should add?

Wait, you can program AND you can read minds?!?

I think Oregon State should be First!

What about a way to select what type of sport you want to see.

Example: I would love to see football and soccer but not MLB.

So I found Esri Uk feature service for their extension

Yes, both the ESRI Germany and UK used a different approach (a feature service) to get their "random point".

I like that idea. I will probably use checkboxes where you can choose which sports to use.

Since I am not a college sports kinda guy, what would be the best way to figure out which stadiums to add first?

Re: Sports Stadium / Google Search Chrome Extension

RickeyFight — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 17:33:32 GMT

Here is a list by size, its not a bad way to start.

Thanks for the link, this is great!

Re: Sports Stadium / Google Search Chrome Extension

RickeyFight — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 18:19:26 GMT

how are you creating the views?

If feature service do you want help?

Re: Sports Stadium / Google Search Chrome Extension

TimWitt2 — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 18:34:08 GMT

I don't use a feature layer, I use an array for each sport that contains each team with lat and long.

Re: Sports Stadium / Google Search Chrome Extension

RickeyFight — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 18:38:56 GMT

If you send me the format for the lat and long I will fill some in during my lunch today.

Re: Sports Stadium / Google Search Chrome Extension

TimWitt2 — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 19:00:51 GMT

This is the format of the array I use.

Do you need any other help? I could help fill in some items when I have a little bit of time. Let me know!

Oh, and here is the link to the document you created in GeoNet, just to attempt to keep things together:
