from nfl_stadiums import NFLStadiums

# Use cache if available by default
stad = NFLStadiums()

stad = NFLStadiums(verbose=False)

Example Usage

stadiums = stad.get_list_of_stadium_names()

lions_stadium_data = stad.get_stadium_by_team("lions")

stadium_data = stad.get_stadium_by_name("ford field")

coords = stad.get_stadium_coordinates_by_team("lions")

coords = stad.get_stadium_coordinates_by_name("ford field")

miles = stad.calculate_distance_between_stadiums("lions", "rams")

forecast = stad.get_weather_forecast_for_stadium('lions', '2024-05-30')

# Change parameters
forecast = stad.get_weather_forecast_for_stadium("rams", "2025/02/24", hour_start=9, hour_end=15, day_format="%Y/%m/%d")
