2025 NFL Stadium Ranks
Worst to First

Northwest Stadium

Location: Landover, Maryland
Capacity: ~70,000
Built: 1997

Any team traveling to play the Commanders are instantly the home team. New stadium is likely to be finished in 2030, at the old site where the magic happened...RFK Stadium. So long as there is a roof, a Superbowl will come.

30

Location: Charlotte, North Carolina
Capacity: ~75,000
Built: 1996

BoA Stadium is not far off from being the worst stadium in the NFL. Adam Thielen was quoted that it had to be the worst stadium in the NFL. Facilities are the worst and he thinks their behind a bit in that category.

Bank of America Stadium

29

Location: Jacksonville, Florida
Capacity: ~67,000
Built: 1995

The fact this stadium built pools to upgrade the user experience, could push it to the worst of this list. The amount of filth that could be in those pools alone makes this stadium quite nauseating. But, it is in Florida, so the nice weather does help.

Ever Bank Stadium

28

Location: New Orleans Louisiana
Capacity: ~73,000
Built: 1975

The only interesting thing for this stadium is that it will host its 8th Superbowl in the 50 year history of the venue. It's a miracle this place lasted this long after Katrina and the flooding.

Caesars Superdome

27

Location: East Rutherford, New Jersey
Capacity: ~82,000
Built: 2000

MetLife cost $1.6B to build which left a lot of fans asking what that money was spent on. The fact it was built in the armpit of America, New Jersey, tells you they didn't spend the money on the land.

MetLife Stadium

26

Location: Miami Gardens, Florida
Capacity: ~65,000
Built: 1987

What used to be Joe Robbie Stadium got a facelift by adding the pergola over the field. This stadium is crowded with the Dolphins, and Hurricanes both playing here. Lipstick on a pig.

Hard Rock Stadium

25

Location: Nashville, Tennessee
Capacity: ~69,000
Built: 1999

The Titans are scheduled to have their new stadium open in 2027, which is long overdue. The long time home of the Titans has needed to be replaced for some time.

Nissan Stadium

24

Location: Cincinnati, Ohio
Capacity: ~65,000
Built: 2000

Suprisingly, the nickname of Paycor is called "The Jungle" and rightfully so.

Paycor Stadium

23

Location: Cleveland, Ohio
Capacity: ~67,000
Built: 1999

Suprisingly, the nickname of Paycor is called "The Jungle" and rightfully so.

Huntington Bank Field

22

Location: Santa Clara, California
Capacity: ~68,500
Built: 2014

The home of the San Francisco 49ers is located 40 miles south in Santa Clara. Make that make sense.

Levi's Stadium

21

Location: Tampa, Florida
Capacity: ~75000
Built: 1998

Likely one of the cooler, older stadiums with the Pirate ship in the endzone firing off cannon shots when the Bucs score.

Raymond James Stadium

20

Location: Chicago, Illinois
Capacity: ~61,500
Built: 1924

Legendary Soldier Field has gone over many renovations, and are looking for a new home just north of Chicago.

Soldier Field

19

Location: Buffalo, New York
Capacity: ~71,600
Built: 1973

Highmark Field is getting a whole makeover and should be done in 2026. As for now, its an old stadium that is in dire need of a rebuild but should provide the home for the Bills in the 2025 season.

Highmark Stadium

18

Location: Baltimore, Maryland
Capacity: ~71,600
Built: 1998

$120M dollars in renovations has kept the stadium up to date with amenities and allows the Seven Nation Army to distract from any irregularities from the stadium. Ravens fans unite behind their team.

M&T Bank Stadium

17

Location: Houston, Texas
Capacity: ~71,500
Built: 2002

Surprisingly, the Texans home field has endured elements and time to continue to be one of the better stadiums in the league. The first to have a retractable roof, Texans can have a long road in NRG.

NRG Stadium

16

Location: Detroit, Michigan
Capacity: ~65,000
Built: 2002

Built right next to Comerica Park, Ford Field has been the site of Superbowls and is literally right down the river from Canada. The 2023 home playoff appearances showed how valuable the stadium is.

Ford Field

15

Location: Foxborough, Massachusetts
Capacity: ~65,000
Built: 2002

Surprisingly, the Patriots were not the first event in the stadium. It was the NE Revolution. It's safe to say, the Patriots have the last word in titles and who owns the place.

Gillette Stadium

14

Location: Glendale, Arizona
Capacity: ~63,000
Built: 2006

It's important to note this stadium is still quite futuristic in looks and amenities to be still considered an alien ship look alike. Updates are consistently underway to keep the stadium current, and near the top of the list.

State Farm Stadium

13

Location: Indianapolis, Indiana
Capacity: ~67,000
Built: 2008

Lucas Oil Stadium is in the center of downtown Indianapolis and is host to the NFL Combine for the NFL Draft and the home games for the Indianapolis Colts. Boasting with the large scale see through windows and a retractable roof.

Lucas Oil Stadium

12

Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Capacity: ~67,000
Built: 2001

Formerly Heinz Field, home of the Steelers it is still one of the most relevant places to play. Their fans and the terrible towels is one of the most iconic visuals in the NFL. Keeping with tradition of an outdoor stadium and playing football in cold weather is how Pittsburgh is seen.

Acrisure Stadium

11

Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Capacity: ~68,000
Built: 2003

The "Link" has always been a difficult place to play because of the fanbase. Eagles have been able to bring home 2 Lombardi's to the Link. Certainly a fan favorite amongst the NFL.

Lincoln Financial Field

10

Location: Denver, Colorado
Capacity: ~76,000
Built: 2001

The challenging part of this stadium is the altitude. At nearly a mile above sea level, the air is just a bit thinner and the conditioning of visiting teams is tested.

Empower Field

9

Location: Kansas City, Missouri
Capacity: ~76,000
Built: 1972

While providing one of the biggest home field advantages in the league, Arrowhead will likely never be rebuilt but will continue to be updated. A bucket list item for NFL fans alike.

Arrowhead Stadium

8

Location: Arlington, Texas
Capacity: ~80,000
Built: 2009

The home of the Dallas Cowboys lives up to the Texas motto, go big or go home. The largest stadium in the league with a fan base to fill it. Retractable roof mimics the previous Cowboys stadium roof opening.

AT&T Stadium

7

Location: Seattle, Washington
Capacity: ~68,000
Built: 2002

The 12th man comes to life with the design of the open air stadium in Seattle, notorious for the constant rain. The overhangs reflect stadium noise back down to the field to provide major home field advantage.

Lumen Field

6

Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota
Capacity: ~67,000
Built: 2016

The design of U.S. Bank Stadium is a marvel in itself. With a nearly see through roof and outer panels, the connectivity to the twin cities is unmatchable.

U.S. Bank Stadium

5

Location: Atlanta, Georgia
Capacity: ~71,000
Built: 2017

Home to the Atlanta Falcons, the design of this structure looks like something out of the future. The roof opens and closes like the petals of a flower forming the Mercedes Benz logo when fully closed. It's better when seen up close.

Mercedes Benz Stadium

4

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
Capacity: ~71,000
Built: 2017

Allegiant Stadium is one of the most advanced and well designed stadiums in the league. Located on the strip in Las Vegas, after a game, you can hit the casinos or restaurants to shake off the Raiders lack of success. Definitely hits the Vegas atmosphere and is a visual spectacle much like the Orb and the Luxor.

Allegiant Stadium

3

Location: Los Angeles, California
Capacity: ~71,000
Built: 2017

The word about SoFi is there are many attractions outside of the actual football game to entertain the fans and engage with them in many different ways. Home to both the Chargers and the Rams, the stadium gets its money's worth.

SoFi Stadium

2

Location: Green Bay, Wisconsin
Capacity: ~81,000

Built: 1957

Lambeau is the quintessetial pinnacle of the NFL in terms of stadiums. Too many have walked onto its sacred field and played for the franchise with such a storied history. Legendary QB's, Foundational linebackers and progressive coaches have graced the field leading the Packers into battle.

The stadium istelf is a national icon, it should be considered for the NFL Hall of Fame on its own. The monumental feat of having no corporate owner, and the true owner is the city of Green Bay, which is the only corporate model not applied to any other franchise in the NFL.
