Feb. 4 (UPI) -- A football superfan proved his love of the game by attending games at all 30 NFL stadiums in 72 days -- and attended a total 56 games in a single season.

California man Brian Fowler broke the Guinness World Records title for the most NFL games attended in a single season -- 56 -- as well as the record for the fastest time to visit all NFL stadiums -- 72 days, 20 hours and 56 minutes.

Fowler said he attended some stadiums twice to make sure to catch a home game for each team that shares a stadium, like the New York Jets and the New York Giants.

The record for visiting every stadium was previously held by John Ryan Bailey, who achieved the feat in 74 days, seven hours and 35 minutes in 2021.

Fowler said he started attending NFL games in person after his mother, a fellow football lover, died from breast cancer in 2021.

"I had a hole in my heart and was seeking to fill it -- or at least to distract from it," he said. "And so I started traveling to Raider games, both in Las Vegas and away games around the country."

Fowler decided to chase the world record after resigning from his job.

"Coming out of the 2024 season, which was a bad one for the Raiders, I had my sights set on chasing a Guinness World Records title, something I had read about two years prior," he said. "The idea had been ruminating in the back of my brain, and I decided it was finally time to take the plunge!"
