NFL fans certainly are loyal when it comes to their favorite stadium. With the return of NFL football, now is a good time to break out of your comfort zone and go see your favorite team play at an away game. We’ve put together our list of the top 5 stadiums that you should visit.
AT&T Stadium, Arlington
This mega sized stadium can seat more than 100,000 fans. Guests can easily view the game not only from their seat, but on the large, high definition TV screens or from the open concourse while they are getting something to eat. In addition to regular seating there are also balconies and suites available.
Raymond James Stadium, Tampa Bay
One of the most interesting things about the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay is replica of a pirate ship that is situated in one of the end zones. In addition to the pirate ship, there is an abundance of other pirate related items throughout Raymond James. The layout of the stadium allows fans to see a great view of the game no matter where they are sitting. There’s also plenty of parking available which is great not only for tailgating parties, but for entering and exiting the stadium.
Soldier Field, Chicago
We listed this because of it’s history. Soldier Field is the oldest NFL stadium. It first opened in 1924 and even though it’s not as new as the other stadiums, it underwent renovations that cost half a billion dollars. There’s a party deck, Jumbotrons and Greek architecture. This field is also situated on the water front of Lake Michigan.
Lambeau Field, Green Bay
Lambeau Field has earned the nickname of the “Frozen Tundra”. This is because at times, the weather can be fierce and opposing teams often have difficulties playing in the frigid weather. However, this certainly hasn’t stopped fans from attending games as the wait time to get seasons tickets is about 30 years. The home team, the Packers, also tend to put on a show for their fans as it’s fairly common for them to jump into the crowd when they score a touchdown. This also happens to be the 2nd oldest stadium which opened in 1957.
Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis
Lucas Oil Stadium is a great place to play football no matter what the weather is. It has a state of the art retractable roof to keep attendees comfortable rain or shine. There’s an open concession area which helps fans not miss an important play even if they have to run to the restroom. There are 68,000 seats available and pretty much all of them allow for a great view of the game. This is one of the newer stadiums which opened in 2008.
If you want to visit the newest stadium, that would be the New York Giant’s Met Stadium in New Jersey which opened in December of 2013.
It’s impossible to list all of the great stadiums in the U.S. so don’t worry if your favorite stadium didn’t make the list. Are you ready for some football? We sure are!
