Foursquare and the AFL

Posted by Laura on Saturday, 8 May, 2010

I’m a little obsessed with foursquare data at the moment and I’m doing this a little early.  I’ll probably update this on Tuesday with a new post after the St. Kilda Monday night match.  At the moment though, based on the two completed games so far this week and last week, this post answers what team has the largest community of Foursquare users.  The surprise is how Collingwood hasn’t run away with this.

Notes on AFL/NRL foursquare sporting venues in Australia

Posted by Laura on Saturday, 1 May, 2010

I’m not going to check foursquare daily to see how many checkins there were but I thought it might be useful historical data to have some benchmarks for how many people checked in over the course of a few days when one or two games might have been played at a venue.

In going back through my list, I’ve found a couple of things sort of worth noting:

  • MCG at http://foursquare.com/venue/2141884 was merged with http://foursquare.com/venue/281644 around April 30/May 1.  The first url forwards to the second. http://foursquare.com/venue/480417 , http://foursquare.com/venue/2947320 and http://foursquare.com/venue/2618227 had the same issue.
  • Etihad Stadium had a merge of http://foursquare.com/venue/2396681 with http://foursquare.com/venue/306196
  • One venue lost a checkin and person.  I believe this was at Suncorp.
  • Canberra Stadium name changed to Bruce Stadium on Foursquare. URL remains the same.
  • More first time checkins to Melbourne Demons game, more visitors to St. Kilda at Etihad Stadium.  Some of this could be a result of a merge of another foursquare venue with it.

It should be easy enough for some one with some skill to automate this data to check how many daily updates there are.  (Which could be a nifty API…)  If such a tool exists already, please point me at it.  If you’re interested in building one specifically for this sort of thing, I’d love to know about it.

I’m not particularly interested in doing analysis this morning.  Instead, I’ve provided a table of my foursquare data I have so far.  If you use it for your own analysis, I’d appreciate a link back.

AFL stadiums, fields and ovals on FourSquare

Posted by Laura on Wednesday, 28 April, 2010

I’ve been obsessed with foursquare for about a month now.  I love it because I like the idea of earning things, like badges.  It gives my social media experience more meaning as a result.  (It doesn’t really, I just think it does because I’ve earned these badges.)  In May, I shall be seeing an AFL game in Canberra and I really want to check in to the stadium because yay! More checkins.  This peaked my curiosity as to how many people had already checked in to this venue (Answer?  None.)   and in to other AFL stadiums across the country.  Today, I got a list of AFL stadiums from austadiums and then searched for the facilities with those names on Foursquare.  Having done that, I got the following chart, which not surprisingly shows the most checkins at Melbourne based AFL stadiums.

For clarification, if a line is blank and has no url, I searched for the location in the city listed on austadiums and nothing appeared. Duplicate entries appear when there were duplicates for the same location. Type includes the default listing. If no type is listed, none provided on the listing.

Apparently, Essendon was heavily promoting people checking into the MCG on Foursquare on ANZAC day so that people could get the Swarm badge. That could also account for the really high numbers of the Melbourne Cricket Grounds.
