Which NFL stadiums have you been to? Which do you want to?

Post #1 » by **bleu** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 3:45 am

I have a really weird affection for professional sports stadiums. I absolutely love seeing new ones, going to games, touring them, visiting the team stores, even just walking around them. I couldn't care less about baseball most of the time, but I've been to probably at least 10 major league ball parks. Which NFL stadiums have you been to? Which one was your favorite and why? Which ones would you most like to see?

I've attended games at 3 stadiums. Arrowhead Stadium, Nissan Stadium, and FedEx Field. Of the three Arrowhead is by far my favorite. Crazy good tailgaiting (the entire parking lot smells like barbecue), easy accessibility, rabid fans, good concessions, really I don't have a single bad thing to say about it. That's how the fan experience should be. Nissan Stadium was nice too, but didn't have anything that felt special about it, aside from a beautiful view of the Nashville skyline. And FedEx Field is very ordinary. Nothing too special about it and it's in the middle of nowhere.

I've also been to (but not for games) M&T Bank Stadium, Mile High Field, The Georgia Dome, and the O.co Coliseum.

The top of my list for stadiums I want to go to are Bank of America Stadium (of course), Lambeau, and Gillette Stadium.

Well...because I live in the Seattle area, I've been to CenturyLink numerous times. Both for the Hawks & UW. I've been to the Glendale stadium (Arizona) & Qualcomm (San Diego) as well. I went to Qualcomm for the Holiday Bowl. I've been to ASU Sun Devil Stadium too.

lambeau is on my bucket list. :wink:

I've been to the old RCA Dome, Lucas Oil Stadium, Ralph Wilson Stadium, Sun Life Stadium, Ford Field and Wembley Stadium.

Would like to see Lambeau and Cowboys Stadium one day.

Been to the old Foxborough stadium, RFK Stadium and the Orange Bowl in Miami. Always wanted to go to Texas Stadium and I still want to go see Jerry's Palace and Arrowhead Stadium.

I've been to Bank of America stadium. I wanna go to Levi's, and I wanna go to Minnesota's new stadium.

Super jealous, I will one day make it out to Panthers game at BOA. I understand it's not one of the most unique or amazing stadiums, but what did you think of the game experience?

I used to live in Mooresville, North Carolina (20 minutes north of Charlotte) but this experience happened when I was 10 for a birthday party, so I don't remember the game as much as I remember the cake after.

I've seen the Cardinals at both places, the Chargers numerous times there, the Broncos one, the old Vikings one (though it was for a Twins game). I had an offer for a free ticket to the Cowboys game a couple of Thanksgiving ago at their new stadium but my dad was coming into town so I didn't go.

Saw a Cowboys game at the Cotton Bowl. I'm old.

Saw plenty (over 30) at Texas Stadium. It was a great place to watch a game. Always enjoyed interacting with fans from other teams there. Redskins fans were the best right along with Giants fans. Eagles fans sucked but that isn't much of a surprise. I've been to the new place and it's pretty amazing. But - haven't seen a Cowboys game there yet. $75 parking is an ender for me. My grandson and I saw the last Cotton Bowl (ALA/Michigan St) there. Won tickets and parking so of course we went!

When I was in the Air Force, a bunch of us went to see the Cowboys play the Saints at the Superdome in 1976. Everyone should see a game there and experience New Orleans at least once in their lives. Nothing like it.

And finally, my best friend (die hard Redskins fan) and I took a road trip in 1995 to D.C. Cowboys/Redskins at RFK. Best football experience ever. Redskins band playing "Hail To The Redskins" in front of us. The stands bouncing with the "We Want Dallas" chant. Lots of Cowboys fans. We lost. Got invited to a bar with a bunch of folks afterward. I cannot tell you how much fun that day was. Also was given the best piece of advice any Cowboys fan could ever receive from a Redskins fan (actually - every Redskins fan I talked to)...

Don't ever go to Philly. Place sucks.

I have been to FedEx Field in 2013 for the Seahawks vs. Redskins wildcard game & M&T Bank Stadium in 2015 for the Seahawks vs. Ravens regular season game. My favorite between the two's M&T Bank Stadium. The fans there were cool & I liked the overall look of the stadium there. The stadiums I want to go to are Heinz Field to wreak havoc during the Seahawks vs. Steelers game & CenturyLink Field for obvious reasons. I want to see how my East Coast fandom measures up with Washington natives & wild out.

I sadly enough have never been to an NFL game. Never lived close to one. Closest is 9 hours away.

But if I'm lucky the Raiders end up in Vegas.

Where you at in Utah? I mean, I'm assuming you're in Utah.

Pats, Seahawks, Chargers is it for me.

I'd love to go to a game in Green Bay one day.

You are correct. Cedar City. 2 hours up I15 from Vegas.

Gotchya, I love Cedar City. I bet everyone down there is dying for this Raiders thing to go through. Even living way up in Logan I'd probably be making a trip or two down per year.

Yup, lots of Broncos fans and lots of Raiders fans as well.

What was the Cotton Bowl like? when I was very young that was always my favorite Bowl game. Of course that's when they had the old Southwest conference.
