Man sets world record after visiting every NFL stadium in 84 days
A British man has broken the world record for attending a game at every NFL stadium in the fastest time.
Jacob Barnor of Leeds, England visited all 32 stadiums in 84 days, beating the previous Guinness World Record of 86 days. He was required to wear a GPS tracker at every game, record video of the first and last plays, and have someone sign to confirm his attendance, according to ESPN.
History Maker. Record Breaker.

Barnor's final game was Thursday's Thanksgiving Day matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, where he was presented with two tickets to the Super Bowl.
I still canโt quite get over today! Will shout out more people tomorrow but for now I have to thank @NFL, @NFLUK and @AtlantaFalcons for today and the Super Bowl tickets! I had no idea and it blew me away! A day Iโll never forget! #GuinnessWorldRecord #NFL100 pic.twitter.com/efmiJfZlCa

"I've been an NFL fan for nine to 10 years, played American football back in the UK and there were lots of stadiums I always wanted to go to," Barnor told "The Nat Coombs Podcast," according to ESPN.
"I was looking it up to see if somebody had done all of the stadiums and I came across an article about someone who did and they broke the world record. I saw that and decided that would be insane if I could do that and after a while of thought I decided to give it a go."
When asked which NFL team's tailgating was the best, Barnor pointed to the Buffalo Bills.
"I had a lot of people tell me that the Bills Mafia, that they would be crazy, and they definitely lived up to it," he said.
Barnor added that he was also impressed with the Falcons' Mercedes-Benz Stadium and the Kansas City Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium.
