INDIANA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The home of the Indy 500, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the biggest sporting venue in the world by a good margin. It has permanent seating for 257,000 people, and temporary on-field seating brings that up to 400,000.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>15. IOWA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Burlington is home to Snake Alley, what <em>Ripley\u2019s Believe It or Not<\/em> called the \u201cCrookedest Street in the World\u201d (something the more famous Lombard Street in San Francisco also lays claim to). It was built in the 1800s to help horses get up a hill that was\u00a0too steep for them to climb in a straight line.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>16. KANSAS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Garden City, Kansas is home to a swimming pool so big it&#8217;s possible to waterski in it (which has happened a few times as a promotional stunt). Opened in 1922, The Big Pool was renovated in the early aughts and is now the world&#8217;s largest outdoor concrete municipal swimming pool. Bigger than a football field, it takes a full day to fill\u00a0it to its 2.5-million-gallon capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kathy Benjamin and Mental_Floss present The Most Impressive Thing About All 50 States. \u00a0Here are three of my favorites&#8230; 14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-trivia"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16708"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16708\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16711,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16708\/revisions\/16711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
