Top 10 NFL Stadiums
October 21st, 2009 Posted by: Senorita Queso Tronca
Today, I am going to give you my top 10 favorite football stadiums. Some of these NFL venues are brand new, while others have stood the test of time. So, here they are and in no particular order.
1. Dallas Cowboys Stadium its true, everything is bigger in Texas. The brand new Dallas Cowboys Stadium opened in the spring of 2009. It features the world’s largest HD screen, which spans 160 feet in width and is 72 feet tall. I can easily say this stadium is heaven for football fanatics.
2. Lambeau Field this name is synonymous with the Green Bay Packers. The managment gives fans an amazing football experience with great atmosphere. Game day activities and concessions are actually very affordable, which makes it a great time for the family. Seating has been expanded to make fans more comfortable. Couples can even say their vows and get married at Lambeau Field!
3. Soldier Field happens to be a highly respected and historic NFL venue. The Chicago Bears have played in Soldier Field since 1971. Soldier Field is very special for football fans. The field is a memorial to every American soldier who died during combat. There are many statues and memorials placed around the beautiful stadium to respect the fallen soldiers.
4. Qwest Field is much more than just a football destination. It is a fully functional multi-purpose sports complex that is state-of-the-art. The Seattle Sounders MLS team also plays at Qwest Field. The field offers stunning views of the Seattle skyline and fresh air. It is a popular hang out for locals and tourists. Qwest field is also known for being one of the loudest NFL fields with the most rowdy and fun fans!
5. Dolphin Stadium made the list because this is where the Super Bowl XLIV will be held in 2010! The Orange Bowl is also traditionally held at Dolphin Stadium. Miami, Florida also happens to be a wonderful destination during the winter. The warm climate makes it a perfect place for football. The layout is breezy and comfortable. It’s a great place to enjoy an NFL game.
6. University of Phoenix Stadium is the home of the current NFC Champions, the Arizona Cardinals. This is another new stadium, which officially opened to the public in 2006. University of Phoenix Stadium also hosted the Super Bowl 2009 and an entire community was built to welcome NFL fans. This stadium has a retractable roof, which keeps spectators cool in the summer and comfortable during the winter.
7. Arrowhead Stadium is “The Red Sea”! Kansas City Chiefs fans are one of a kind and dress head to toe in red, to show support. Arrowhead Stadium is often feared by opposing teams, it’s an intimidating place to play. However, it’s a wonderful stadium to enjoy a game and to really get into the game day atmosphere. Like Qwest Field, Arowhead Stadium is also famous for its extremely audible fans.
8. Heinz Field this NFL venue is absolutely stunning. It is located along the Ohio River, with stunning views of Pittsburg. Heinz Field is one of the very few football fields with an all natural grass playing surface. This field also hosts a wide variety of other events including concerts, college football and other events. Heinz Field is a hot spot in Pittsburgh!
9. Metrodome has been opened since the early 80’s is one of the premier sports destinations. The Metrodome is home to the legendary Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Golden Gophers. It has a rich history of some amazing games and is one of the oldest NFL stadiums. It has a very special charm, which fans adore.
10. Qualcomm Stadium is where you will find the San Diego Chargers. This modern stadium is surrounded by the beauty of Southern California and the beach is only a few miles away. How can you go wrong? “The Murph” aka Qualcomm Stadium is made of pure concrete and steel, construction was completed in the late 1960’s.

I agree with seven of the ten stadiums. Solider Field has great tradition but the stadium is too small. Chicago has passionate fans and I can’t understand why it barely seats 60,000 or so. Everything feels too cramped in for my liking. I don’t think the stadium is that great. Qualcomm is a decent stadium but a little sterile. The fans don’t really get into the game much (then again the NFL doesn’t like players or fans to have much fun. Where are all the team chants, etc. Oh that’s right there are no regular joes at NFL games anymore because the tickets are too expensive). The Metrodome is a horrible stadium. Minnesota has been trying to get a new one built. I hope it eventually happens and the Vikings stop playing sissy football and go back to playing in an open air stadium, the way football is supposed to be played. The Vikes need a new, open air stadium that seats around 70-72,000.

The Metrodome? No one likes that place. It’s an awful venue to play in and and even worse one to watch a game at. No one will shed a tear when it’s gone.
Lambeau should be first. The monstrosity in Dallas is just another soulless mega stadium. Who cares if it has a huge big screen. If I wanted to watch the game on TV I’d have saved my money and stayed home.

You guys should give me your 10 favorite NFL Stadiums! Would love to hear your take.
Brian, I stated that this list is in no particular order
I think the Metrodome has a lot of history and has housed some amazing teams, it’s cozy! I am sure Minnesota fans appreciate a warm place to check out the game.

Uhh, Superdome?

Snoop A Loop, The Superdome is definitely a great pick! It is the epicenter of all things college football and NFL in the south. Good call.
