ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago is across the street from
Soldier Field, home of the Bears.  Game days are brutal.

I understand the National Underground Railroad Museum and Freedom Center is
close to Cincinnati's baseball stadium, giving them headaches 81 days a year.

The Science Museum of Minnesota is across the street from the Excel Center,
home of the Minnesota Wild (hockey).  But their games are mostly at night,
so there doesn't seem to be that much conflict.

And Garner's Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style argues that
"stadium" has been thoroughly Anglicized, and thus takes "stadiums" as its
plural.
