Instagram (the company) broke down the numbers from 2014 to analyze where in each state users of Instagram (the app) love to geotag their posts from most.
Disneyland, the Grand Canyon, Old Faithful -- the list is full of predictable winners in many states. But here's something that might come as a minor surprise: In 17 states, the most popular location from which to 'gram was a sports stadium or arena. (UPDATE: Instagram reached out to us on Friday to correct an error in its data; sports venues were most popular in 16 states, not 17.)
