Thoughts?

I will give the guy props for mentioning the golf course in the city I live in.

I haven't even clicked the link yet but I'm almost 99.9% certain that at least 8 of the Stadiums in the Top 10 will have been built within the last 10 years with Lambeau Field and FedEx being the exception.

You got the number right, but FedEx is ranked in the bottom half. Raymond James is the only other one besides Lambeau in top 10.

Re: NFL Stadium Rankings

I think Cleveland Browns Stadium should be in the first half of the group. I don't understand how you can hold the fact that there hasn't been a playoff game there against it. Its an absolutely beautiful stadium in a great place with easy access and parking. The fans are awesome, Dawg Pound anyone?

I get that they have been to the playoffs once in the last 11 years. But that shouldn't be a deciding factor in the rankings.

Not that its a big deal, just think it should be higher imo.

Agreed but for Reliant. The place is a world class facility and it gets LOUD there.

Yep, Reliant looks amazing. Should be higher too.

Re: NFL Stadium Rankings

I strongly disapprove with the Superdome being #15, but I guess I can understand their reasonings when compared to other newer stadiums

Re: NFL Stadium Rankings

I think they got it right for the most part.

Re: NFL Stadium Rankings

lol. I've only been to Qualcomm previously, but wife surprised me with my first trip to see KC play at home this year (literally showed up at work, arranged 2 days off with boss 3 months in advance, went from normal workday to going directly to the airport for a 4 day trip to KC), so not going to argue for Arrowhead being above those it's behind, but I was very impressed.

Chiefs fans, I’m going to be honest with you. I’ve never been to a game at Arrowhead and know very little about the stadium. I put you guys in the 13 spot because you just dumped $375 million into renovations and you’re regarded as some of the best fans in the league.

Had I actually been to a game at Arrowhead, I have a feeling I’d be rating this place a lot higher.

Re: NFL Stadium Rankings

I would probably bump the new Meadowlands down. Out of all the newer stadiums I've been too in all sports, it's the worst. I'm sure there's nice lounges and stuff for the millionares, but there's very little improvements for the common fan. All new stadiums are like that to a degree, but new Meadowlands doesn't even have simple things, like enough bathrooms. Lines for food are still crazy, from what I remember there's not a big selection for beer, and the seats are further away. They did a good job of making it feel like Jets stadium for Jets games and Giants Stadium for Giants games, unlike the old one, but honestly besides that I'd rather the old stadium.

Re: NFL Stadium Rankings

I agree with Lambeau Field being #1. I've been to Reliant Stadium for opening day last year and was very disappointed. It was half full and not loud at all! I thought they loved football in Houston. So this year, I brought my buddies up from Texas to the Buffalo Bills game in Lambeau and they were blown away!

That was the one in the top 10 I wouldn't have had there based on his criteria.

Re: NFL Stadium Rankings

I've been to Lambeau many times before and after the renovation. Can't say I disagree with it being #1 after the renovation. It was transformed from a green metal altoids box with narrow, lifeless concourses to a beautiful piece of architecture. You have to see the place to believe it. Fan-friendly all the way.

Re: NFL Stadium Rankings

Not surprised where LP Field was ranked, nothing to special or fancy there.

The field is not good so I think that is what it gets knocked a bit for.
