Each NFL game showcases unique visuals tied to its venue, with stadiums adding distinctive colors, backgrounds, and features that enhance the football atmosphere fans cherish, whether they experience it in person or through the popular “Madden NFL” video game by EA Sports.

As Week 5 kicks off, it’s also the beginning of the International Series, with London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium set to host Sunday’s game between the New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings. This marks the second international venue used this year, following Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, Brazil, which became the 100th stadium to host a regular-season game since the Super Bowl era began in 1966.

With autumn fully settled in, it’s a perfect opportunity to evaluate and rank the 30 NFL stadiums regularly in use, with insights from our experts who frequently visit these locations.

(Notes: To create a collective ranking, we consulted six YSL News Sports writers who cover the NFL closely. The win-loss records at these stadiums include the entire 2023 season and playoffs.)

1. Lumen Field – Seattle Seahawks

▶ Year opened: 2002

▶ Capacity: 68,740

▶ Surface: FieldTurf

▶ Seahawks’ record there: 129-60

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 0

“It’s almost a crime that the Seahawks and their passionate fans spent so long in the concrete Kingdome. However, they got their revenge by creating the famous wave seen at sporting events worldwide. Lumen Field boasts beautiful architecture and an incredible atmosphere, especially when the Seahawks are thriving. The sound reverberates off the roof and enhances the excitement on the field. Situated in close proximity to downtown Seattle, with a stunning view from the ‘Hawks’ Nest’ seating area, it captures everything one could desire from a stadium, aside from natural grass. It’s also a fantastic venue for concerts, especially with local icons like Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder making appearances.” – Nate Davis

2. Lambeau Field – Green Bay Packers

▶ Year opened: 1957

▶ Capacity: 81,041

▶ Surface: SISGrass

▶ Packers’ record there: 276-137-6

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 0

“Lambeau Field epitomizes what all NFL stadiums should aim to be. It has all the modern amenities one would expect in 2024, featuring large video screens at both ends, numerous luxury suites, and excellent locker rooms for the Packers. Although it isn’t enclosed, football is meant to be played outdoors, and nothing beats the thrill of snow globe games. What truly makes Lambeau exceptional is not only the stadium itself but the surrounding neighborhood. The community embraces the stadium; many residents open their driveways or yards for parking and offer tailgating treats like bratwursts. The mix of small-town feel and upscale experience is unmatched across the NFL.” – Nancy Armour

3. U.S. Bank Stadium – Minnesota Vikings

▶ Opened in: 2016

▶ Seating capacity: 66,468

▶ Playing surface: Act Global Xtreme Turf

▶ Vikings’ record here: 43-24

▶ Super Bowls held: 1 (52/LII, 2018)

“Though playing in bad weather is part of football’s charm, if you must go indoors – especially in Minneapolis, where temperatures can drop well below freezing late in the season – this stadium is fantastic. With its semi-translucent roof and exterior design, fans can enjoy the sights of the weather while staying warm. The Viking theme is strong here, from the Skol chant echoing through the crowd to the artificial snow drifting down from above, the Gjallarhorn being sounded by a special guest before the game, and an overall vibe that makes you feel you’re in a Viking ship or mead hall. It begs the question of how residents ever endured the Metrodome for so long.” – Nate Davis

4. SoFi Stadium – Home of the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams

▶ Opened in: 2020

▶ Seating capacity: 71,500

▶ Playing surface: Artificial Turf (Hellas 44oz. Matrix System)

▶ Chargers’ record here: 16-18

▶ Rams’ record here: 23-14

▶ Super Bowls held: 1 (56/LVI, 2022)

▶ Upcoming Super Bowl location: (61/LXI, 2027)

“The vision for SoFi Stadium upon its debut was to become a hub for sports events – and it has truly achieved that. It is set to play a significant role in the 2028 Summer Olympics. The stadium features an innovative design, with a roof canopy covering most of the seats, a massive 360-degree video board from the ceiling, and an external YouTube Theater. Conveniently located in Inglewood, right across from the historic Kia Forum (oldly known as the Great Western Forum), fans also get a sense of nostalgia as they arrive.” – Tyler Dragon

5. AT&T Stadium – Home of the Dallas Cowboys

▶ Opened in: 2009

▶ Seating capacity: 80,000 (can be expanded to 100,000)

▶ Playing surface: SoftTop Matrix Turf

▶ Cowboys’ record here: 77-50

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 1 (45/XLV, 2011)

“Known as ‘Jerry World,’ this lavish stadium may remind you of a theme park due to its extravagant features. For example, it boasts a hologram of the team’s owner who can interact with fans: ‘Meet Jerry Jones – An Interactive Experience.’ Quite amusing! Personally, I believe the stadium looks its best when the retractable roof is open along with the glass doors at each end zone. It is hard to miss the gigantic video screens, which hang 90 feet above the field and measure 160 feet long by 72 feet wide – equivalent to 3,200 52-inch TVs. Jerry Jones claims the idea for these screens came to him after attending a Celine Dion concert in Las Vegas, where he admired the enormous video board on stage.” – Jarrett Bell

“No need to worry about missing the action even if you wander away from your seat; there are video displays everywhere – in concession areas, hallways, and even bathrooms, totaling around 3,000 screens throughout the venue. The stadium offers numerous options, including 10 clubs, wine bars, and a dazzling collection of more than 38 commissioned art pieces, including the impressive ‘Sky Mirror’ at one of the main entrances. In addition to this, there are countless photos showcasing Cowboys’ players and significant moments in the franchise’s legacy. Feeling restless? You can catch the game from one of the outdoor plazas, which feature manicured lawns along with big video screens and food options. Overall, this location guarantees enjoyable experiences for all – even if the game itself isn’t thrilling.” – Jarrett Bell

6. Allegiant Stadium – Home of the Las Vegas Raiders

▶ Opened in: 2020

▶ Seating capacity: 65,000

▶ Playing surface: Natural Bermuda

▶ Raiders’ record here: 17-17

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 1 (58/LVIII, 2024)

“If you have plenty of money and a group of friends, Allegiant Stadium is an entertaining venue for watching a game. I believe I explored every inch of this impressive place.

Before the Super Bowl last season, one major observation I had was the abundance of ‘club’ seating, including suites at every level and exclusive lounges, that Mark Davis integrated into the venue. Las Vegas is an ideal location for this kind of approach, and it all appears to be a fantastic experience. The downside regarding its location is that the more desirable part of The Strip is situated on the opposite side, quite far from the stadium. Does it justify its hefty $1.9 billion investment? That’s tough to determine. It certainly seems designed to host concerts and various events. However, every football fan should have a good view in the stadium, and the food options provided are exceptional.” – Chris Bumbaca

7. Mercedes-Benz Stadium – Atlanta Falcons

▶ Year opened: 2017

▶ Capacity: 72,000 (can expand to 75,000)

▶ Surface: FieldTurf

▶ Falcons’ record there: 26-30

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 1 (53/LIII, 2019)

“This venue is fantastic—not only because of the innovative pinwheel retractable roof design or the circular video board known as ‘The Halo’ that hangs over the field, but also for the breathtaking view of the Atlanta skyline through the glass panels in the east end zone. Falcons owner Arthur Blank has incorporated customer-friendly initiatives that significantly enhance the experience. Their ‘fan-first pricing’ means you can find a $2 soda (with three free refills) and a $5 beer, which is a refreshing change from the price hikes often seen at stadiums. Plus, the food features a ‘best of Atlanta’ theme, served by local vendors at no extra cost.

“The stadium boasts wide concourses, including a ‘100-yard Club’ running the full length of the field in the upper deck. The lively atmosphere during Falcons games is heightened by a DJ on a plaza and a designated section in the lower deck, known as ‘The Dirty Birds Nest’ (Section 134), which turns the game into a party. Access is a breeze thanks to the MARTA subway system, alleviating traffic issues. Overall, the city traded the Georgia Dome for a more glamorous stadium that greatly surpasses its predecessor. Now, if only the Falcons could maintain a steady winning streak.” – Jarrett Bell

8. GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium – Kansas City Chiefs

▶ Year opened: 1972

▶ Capacity: 73,426

▶ Surface: Grass

▶ Chiefs’ record there: 256-168-1

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 0

“There’s a reason why young opposing quarterbacks almost never win during their first game at Arrowhead. It’s the deafening noise. This is complemented by the iconic ‘Sea of Red’ in the stands. The crowd’s noise has been recorded at a Guinness World Record 142.2 decibels, making it nearly impossible to think, much less communicate audibly amidst such an electrifying atmosphere—hand signals become essential.

“I have to say that despite the significant investment in the naming rights, I still find it challenging to refer to the Chiefs’ home as GEHA Field. It’s been known as Arrowhead since its inception. By the way, Taylor Swift seems to think it’s a pretty cool place. Also, no other stadium in the NFL offers a tailgating experience like Arrowhead, famous for having the best-smelling parking lot in the league, as the passionate fans here know all about barbecuing.” – Jarrett Bell

9. Caesars Superdome – New Orleans Saints

▶ Year opened: 1975

▶ Capacity: 73,000

▶ Surface: Turf Nation-M6

▶ Saints’ record there: 203-186

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 7 (12/XII, 1978; 15/XV, 1981; 20/XX, 1986; 24/XXIV, 1990; 31/XXXI, 1997; 36/XXXVI, 2002; 48/XLVII, 2013)

▶ Future Super Bowl site: (59/LIX, 2025)

“As the oldest operational dome in the NFL, the Superdome occasionally gives off the impression of age. Nevertheless, it continues to receive upgrades to stay as modern as feasible. The atmosphere here is unbeatable, with die-hard Saints fans treating every game like a celebration, dressed accordingly, making it one of the toughest venues for visiting teams. The crowd’s excitement is palpable in the open-air press box. Moreover, being just a short walk from the renowned French Quarter allows for a unique game day experience. Whether it’s a regular-season matchup or the Super Bowl—this venue offers a great ambiance for football.” – Nate Davis

10. Acrisure Stadium – Pittsburgh Steelers

▶ Year of establishment: 2001

▶ Seating capacity: 68,400

▶ Playing surface: Natural grass

▶ Pittsburgh Steelers’ record here: 139 wins, 59 losses, 2 ties

▶ Super Bowls hosted: None

“It’s interesting how we can miss corporate branding, yet yearn for the nostalgia of ‘Heinz Field.’ However, this venue is fantastic, with its riverside location allowing for ferry drop-offs, and a lovely view of downtown Pittsburgh from the stadium’s open end. Don’t forget to check out the Steelers’ Hall of Honor Museum inside before maybe catching a late-season game against the Ravens, where the wind might affect field goal attempts and the turf might get a bit worn. Of course, it’s tough to beat the image of Bane demolishing ‘Gotham City Stadium’ in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ … shout out to former Steelers player Hines Ward for scoring amidst the chaos.” – Nate Davis

11. Hard Rock Stadium – Miami Dolphins

▶ Year of establishment: 1987

▶ Seating capacity: 64,992

▶ Playing surface: Grass

▶ Miami Dolphins’ record here: 181 wins, 121 losses

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 6 times (XXIII in 1989; XXIX in 1995; XXXIII in 1999; XLI in 2007; XLIV in 2010; LIV in 2020)

“Visiting fans eagerly mark this game each year, questioning why they end up roasting in the Miami sun while the other side of the stadium enjoys shade. Did they arrive too early? Are Dolphins fans still tailgating outside? This stadium also hosts tennis and Formula 1 events! While it may lack the historical appeal of other NFL stadiums, it’s a unique spot where sports and entertainment collide. Don’t forget to pack your swimsuit!” – Safid Deen

12. Lucas Oil Stadium – Indianapolis Colts

▶ Year of establishment: 2008

▶ Seating capacity: 63,000

▶ Playing surface: Matrix Helix Turf

▶ Indianapolis Colts’ record here: 82 wins, 53 losses

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 1 time (XLVI in 2012)

“Indiana is known for its love of basketball, and the Colts play in what feels like a grand indoor arena. While players may find the environment distracting, the retractable window and roof create fascinating shadows on the field. The Peyton Manning statue, proximity to downtown Indianapolis – with underground walkways that keep fans sheltered from the weather – are added highlights.” – Nate Davis

T-13. Lincoln Financial Field – Philadelphia Eagles

▶ Year of establishment: 2003

▶ Seating capacity: 69,879

▶ Playing surface: Natural grass

▶ Philadelphia Eagles’ record here: 108 wins, 72 losses, 1 tie

▶ Super Bowls hosted: None

“This stadium offers one of the best tailgating experiences in the Northeast – second only to the Bills (if we separate them out). While the venue itself may not be extraordinary, the atmosphere is electric thanks to passionate fans. It might just be the loudest place for a visiting team to play, making it challenging for everyone involved. Get close enough to the east side of the stadium, and you can almost high-five someone on Interstate-95 traveling south. The entire area is an enthusiast’s dream with the Wells Fargo Arena (home to the 76ers and Flyers) and Citizens Bank Park (home to the Phillies) easily accessible via public transport. The setting is a fantastic mix of large venues connected by parking lots on the south side of the city.” – Chris Bumbaca

T-13. M&T Bank Stadium – Baltimore Ravens

▶ Year of establishment: 1998

▶ Seating capacity: 70,765

▶ Playing surface: Grass

▶ Baltimore Ravens’ record here: 151 wins, 68 losses

▶ Super Bowls hosted:

“A very traditional football stadium overall. The Ravens unveiled a steady renovation plan that started earlier this year. The upper levels have a pronounced incline, giving the impression that fans are right above the field. The purple and black attire of the supporters adds a visually appealing touch – certainly more attractive than the nearby surroundings, but if you’re okay with tailgating on train tracks, more power to you.” – Chris Bumbaca

T-13. State Farm Stadium – Arizona Cardinals

▶ Opened: 2006

▶ Seating capacity: 65,000 (can be expanded to over 73,000)

▶ Playing surface: Grass

▶ Cardinals’ home record: 78-68-2

▶ Super Bowls held: 3 (XLII in 2008; XLIX in 2015; LVII in 2023)

“This is one of the top stadiums in the NFL, particularly on the western side of the country. Its shiny silver exterior is impressive, and the retractable roof shields fans from the harsh desert heat. The whole field can slide out on a tray so the grass can enjoy Arizona’s sun, and it also allows for other events that don’t need the grass. Located in Glendale, about 18 miles from Phoenix, it’s close to the popular Westgate Entertainment District.” – Tyler Dragon

16. Ford Field – Detroit Lions

▶ Year opened: 2002

▶ Seating capacity: 64,500

▶ Playing surface: FieldTurf

▶ Lions’ home record: 81-98

▶ Super Bowl hosted: 1 (XL in 2006)

“As demonstrated during last season’s playoff chase by the revitalized team, the atmosphere at home games can be electrifying when the Lions give fans something to cheer about. It took a long time for a statue of the legendary Barry Sanders to be placed outside Ford Field – it finally arrived last year – but at least it didn’t take as long for the team to secure another playoff victory!

“The Lions returned to Detroit in 2002 after their long stint at the Pontiac Silverdome, and the appreciation for the current venue stems from a key real estate principle: location, location, location. Even with traffic being somewhat congested, there’s immense civic pride in the fact that all four major professional sports teams in Detroit play within close proximity to each other in beautiful downtown venues. This means there is no shortage of activities available before and after games, with a plethora of restaurants, bars, and casinos in nearby Greektown, along the Woodward corridor, or throughout other downtown areas. Additionally, Ford Field holds a special memory for Jerome Bettis, the local star who celebrated his Super Bowl XL farewell here.” – Jarrett Bell

17. Raymond James Stadium – Tampa Bay Buccaneers

▶ Year opened: 1998

▶ Seating capacity: 65,844

▶ Playing surface: Grass

▶ Buccaneers’ home record: 114-100

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 3 (XXXV in 2001; XLIII in 2009; LV in 2021)

“There isn’t much that makes this stadium stand out – unless you count the massive 100-foot replica pirate ship parked behind the north end zone that fires cannons to celebrate Buccaneers’ touchdowns, among other occurrences. Players often rate the field as high quality. Outside of that and its usual affordability for fans? It’s pretty average.” – Nate Davis

18. Empower Field at Mile High – Denver Broncos

▶ Year opened: 2001

▶ Seating capacity: 76,125

▶ Playing surface: Kentucky Blue Grass

▶ Broncos’ home record: 120-75

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 0

“Some fans describe it as a giant diaphragm. It hasn’t quite managed to capture the magic of its predecessor, Mile High Stadium, but it still gets loud, features the ‘Bucky the Bronco’ statue, the ‘Incomplete’ chant, and takes advantage of Denver’s high altitude. We still remember and miss the beloved Barrel Man.” – Nate Davis

19. Gillette Stadium – New England Patriots

▶ Opened: 2002

▶ Seating capacity: 64,628

▶ Playing surface: FieldTurf

▶ Patriots’ record at home: 154-46

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 0

“Known as ‘The Razor,’ getting to and from the Patriots’ stadium can be frustrating due to limited traffic routes via U.S. Route 1 in Foxborough, Massachusetts. However, the venue features an impressive 22-story lighthouse, the tallest in the nation, situated on the open plaza at the stadium’s north end. Adding to its charm is the largest outdoor hi-def video board in the country, measuring 370 feet across and 60 feet tall. Visiting teams might find the booming boat horn, which sounds when the Patriots’ defense is on third down, to be annoying. Furthermore, some teams have raised concerns about communication issues during games.” – Jarrett Bell

“Though Gillette Stadium might not be as intimidating as it was during Tom Brady’s era, it still generates ‘Patriot Weather’ as the season progresses. The overall experience has significantly improved since Robert Kraft acquired the franchise in the 1990s. The venue is located next to Patriot Place, a massive hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment. The Patriots Hall of Fame, along with tours that take visitors to the observation deck of the lighthouse, enhance the overall visit before heading back to the busy roads.” – Jarrett Bell

20. Levi’s Stadium – San Francisco 49ers

▶ Opened: 2014

▶ Seating capacity: 68,500

▶ Playing surface: Natural Grass

▶ 49ers’ record at home: 46-38

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 1 (Super Bowl 50 in 2015)

▶ Future Super Bowl site: (Super Bowl 60 in 2026)

“Levi’s Stadium, which opened in 2014, may feel somewhat lackluster. It has a Silicon Valley vibe with 9,000 club seats and 174 suites, but virtually every seat offers a good view. Located in Santa Clara, about 43 miles from San Francisco, it’s more convenient for out-of-town fans to use San Jose for flights rather than San Francisco. A significant perk for journalists and others fortunate enough to be in the press box is the top-tier catering.” – Tyler Dragon

21. NRG Stadium – Houston Texans

▶ Opened: 2002

▶ Seating capacity: 71,995

▶ Playing surface: Artificial Turf (Hellas Matrix)

▶ Texans’ record at home: 92-92-1

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 2 (Super Bowl 38 in 2004; Super Bowl 51 in 2017)

“This massive stadium resembles an airplane hangar, but it has unique features such as large glass panels and eco-friendly improvements. NRG Stadium was notable for being the first NFL facility to include a retractable roof, using a fabric design that allows light in and opens at the 50-yard line. This adds to its distinctive character. Nearby, the Astrodome, which debuted in 1965 as the first domed stadium in the U.S., stands as a landmark demonstrating the growth of stadiums in Houston.” – Jarrett Bell

22. Soldier Field – Chicago Bears

▶ Opened: 1924

▶ Seating capacity: 61,500

▶ Playing surface: Bermuda Grass

▶ Bears’ record at home: 241-184-2

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 0

“Think of the finale of ‘Independence Day’ where the huge alien spaceship crashes to Earth? That imagery reflects Soldier Field’s renovation. While aiming for a modern look, the Bears attempted to preserve the original Neoclassical style of the stadium but ended up falling short. The new bowl created within the old façade limited seating capacity, leading to Soldier Field being the smallest in the league without modern amenities. The striking glass and aluminum structure that sits atop the original columns is considered unattractive, and the grass often appears patchy soon after being laid. The only redeeming feature is the spectacular views from the upper deck, which, ironically, have nothing to do with the actual game.” – Nancy Armour

23. Huntington Bank Field – Cleveland Browns

▶ Year opened: 1999

▶ Capacity: 67,827

▶ Surface: Grass

▶ Browns’ record there: 84-116-1

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 0

“Situated along Lake Erie, the Browns’ stadium initiated operations in 1999. The weather can be quite harsh, with lake influence making conditions almost intolerable at times. Nevertheless, the vibrant spirit of the ‘Dawg Pound’ offers fans a distinctive NFL encounter. The stadium embodies a genuine Midwestern football ambiance, enriched by its history and strategic location near downtown, close to the Great Lakes Science Center and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Ownership is already exploring possibilities for the team’s future home.” – Tyler Dragon

24. Bank of America Stadium – Carolina Panthers

▶ Year opened: 1996

▶ Capacity: 75,037

▶ Surface: FieldTurf Vertex CORE

▶ Panthers’ record there: 119-113

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 0

“This venue lacks much character. Nestled in Downtown Charlotte, Bank of America Stadium presents a simple design, marked notably by the imposing black panther statues at the entrances. The ‘Panther Blue’ seats do add a nice touch, and it also serves as the headquarters for the organization.” – Chris Bumbaca

25. Nissan Stadium – Tennessee Titans

▶ Year opened: 1999

▶ Capacity: 69,143

▶ Surface: Matrix Helix Turf

▶ Titans’ record there: 117-90

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 0

“There may still be ongoing debates (especially in Buffalo) regarding whether the most memorable moment at this cozy stadium by the East Bank of the Cumberland River – the famous lateral from Frank Wycheck to Kevin Dyson that sparked the ‘Music City Miracle’ – was entirely legitimate. However, in Nashville, this debate was settled when it unfolded for the Tennessee Titans back in the 1999 playoffs.

“What isn’t disputable is that Nissan Stadium (formerly known as Adelphia Coliseum during the ‘Miracle’) serves as a charming complement to downtown Nashville, providing easy access to dining and entertainment. Its park-like setup works well (including a zip line for children), and parking is more accessible than at many other stadiums. On the flip side, Titans supporters have voiced their dissatisfaction over the years about the quality of the in-game experience, often citing issues such as inadequate updates on scores from other games, repetitive promotional material, and inconsistent Wi-Fi. Regardless, fans could easily find themselves engaging in lively discussions about the dollhouses that line the end zone plaza.” – Jarrett Bell

26. Highmark Stadium – Buffalo Bills

▶ Year opened: 1973

▶ Capacity: 71,621

▶ Surface: A-Turf Titan

▶ Bills’ record there: 246-164

▶ Super Bowls hosted: 0

“It’s fitting that this is the spot where Jason Kelce made headlines, going shirtless while climbing out of a private suite to mingle with fans during a playoff matchup in January while his brother Travis played. This venue truly embodies a raw and bold atmosphere. When the Bills transition to a new home estimated at $1.7 billion in 2026, built in the current stadium’s parking lot, it raises questions about how the famed culture of the ‘Bills Mafia’ might change.

“While it’s one of the NFL’s older facilities, featuring basic seating on aluminum benches, ‘The Ralph’ (named in honor of franchise founder Ralph Wilson) still retains a distinct charm, thanks to the atmosphere created by the ‘Mafia’ and, of course, plenty of drinks. What other fans resort to breaking tables with body slams during pre-game tailgating? It’s their space, and it’s their furniture. It’s likely that traditions like these will carry on at the new Highmark.

“Then there’s the weather. The Ralph is notorious for the heavy ‘lake effect’ snow and the fierce winds that whip off Lake Erie. This may explain why, when Buffalo selected Josh Allen in 2018, they were particularly keen on his arm strength, reminiscent of Bills icon Jim Kelly. The Bills have no intention of building a dome; they cherish their home-field advantage.” – Jarrett Bell

27. EverBank Stadium – Jacksonville Jaguars

▶ Opened: 1995

▶ Seating Capacity: 67,838

▶ Field Type: Grass

▶ Jaguars’ Home Record: 118 wins, 111 losses

▶ Super Bowls Hosted: 1 (Super Bowl XXXIX in 2005)

“With its unique pools instead of traditional amenities, this stadium has a collegiate feel and is famous for the annual Florida-Georgia game, which often brings thrilling moments. Features such as vacant seats hidden by tarps, the distinct smell of damp football gear beneath the stands, and mascot Jaxson de Ville’s zip line are characteristic, which could explain why renovations might be on the horizon.” – Nate Davis

28. Paycor Stadium – Cincinnati Bengals

▶ Opened: 2000

▶ Seating Capacity: 65,656

▶ Field Type: FieldTurf CORE

▶ Bengals’ Home Record: 107 wins, 89 losses, 2 ties

▶ Super Bowls Hosted: 0

“Previously called Paul Brown Stadium, it overlooks the Ohio River, allowing fans to see Kentucky across the water from downtown. Lower and middle sections offer great views, although the upper levels can be less enjoyable, particularly in winter. Its location gives fans a taste of Cincinnati, with attractions like Great American Ball Park and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center just a short walk away.” – Tyler Dragon

29. MetLife Stadium – New York Giants, New York Jets

▶ Opened: 2010

▶ Seating Capacity: 82,500

▶ Field Type: FieldTurf CORE

▶ Giants’ Home Record: 55 wins, 60 losses, 1 tie

▶ Jets’ Home Record: 54 wins, 62 losses

▶ Super Bowls Hosted: 1 (Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014)

“This stadium has been compared to an air conditioning unit or even a prison depending on one’s viewpoint while stuck in traffic approaching through the fragrant ‘Swamps of Secaucus.’ Players have frequently complained about the quality of the field, citing numerous season-ending injuries.” – Chris Bumbaca

30. Northwest Stadium – Washington Commanders

▶ Opened: 1997

▶ Seating Capacity: 67,617

▶ Field Type: Natural grass

▶ Commanders’ Home Record: 100 wins, 120 losses, 1 tie

▶ Super Bowls Hosted: 0

“A gigantic, deteriorating stadium located amid a vast parking area, about a thirty-minute drive from Washington D.C. The food can vary in quality, and access to hot water is sometimes spotty. Past ownership saw the capacity cut by around one-third due to consistently empty seats. It’s hoped that current ownership will work to return the team to the District of Columbia, which appears to be making gradual progress towards a new venue.” – Nate Davis
