National Football Post ranks all 31 NFL Stadiums.

The moron that wrote the artical is nuts.I go by FedEx every day first .......RFK was in a worse location then FedEx and the the traffic isn't half as bad ... as the Meadowlands.....and I don't like the New Meadowlands, and I agree with what is said about Philly it sucks ...way to high on the list.

Also, isn't traffic during a Giants or Jets game pretty terrible around the Meadowlands? I personally avoid the area anytime there is game (when I've been up there). But I would imagine that traffic would be just as bad as anywhere in the NYC area.

Fed Ex isnt really in a neighborhood, its an exit off the beltway. Its in PG County and certain parts of that county can be dicey. RFK is in NE DC and that really is a neighborhood. I wouldnt want to walk around there at night when nothing is going on but on a game day it was fine.

I've been to FedEx once, for a Metallica concert, and M&T once, for HFestival the year Billy Idol and the Foo Fighters were there. FedEx is as plain as it gets, but that place is huge! getting in and out is a pain, but I have few other points of reference. M&T wasn't too bad, but we took the Metro which made it easy.

Honestly, I've never been to an NFL game. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I just usually don't have the money to drive to D.C. from Cumberland, pay for all the other crap involved. My wife's cousin, however, has a luxury box at FedEx that he uses as entertainment for his construction business. He usually has family down for one game a year. I think I'm gonna have to get the wife to kiss his arse a little lol...

I've been to Nats Park and PNC Park and both are very nice. PNC Park is pretty much in a league of it's own though. That place is truly gorgeous, too bad they don't have a team worth hating (I hate all things Pittsburgh with the exception of the Pirates as they just aren't good enough to hate). Nats Park has some narrow seats though, but then again, I'm a fatty lol... I did have the pleasure of watching the Nats put a beat down on Oswalt and the Philthies there though which was awesome.

from the stadiums i've been to in my life i'd rank em like this ..

#1 RFK .. purely on old school vibes
#2 University of Phx Stadium .. I have season tix here and that stadium is a BLAST
#3 Fed Ex Field ... I do love the stadium .. obviously traffic sucks but it's worth it to me
#4 Sun Devil Stadium .. No roof .. Desert .. Nuff Said
#5 The Old Vet PHilly ... STadium sucks balls, fans suck balls, field sucks balls

The Eagles' stadium is not anywhere near any neighborhoods, if I remember correctly it is in an industrial park-like area. Although, you are more likely to be gunned down or stabbed by Iggles fans than in the neighborhood.

Heinz Field should not be on the top 5 with that shitty playing field they have.

Finally, if "History" is your second criteria, how can you put a brand new stadium like the Cowboys stadium.

I don't get the knock on the neighborhood for Fed Ex field. They make it sound like it is a freaking warzone.

Philly's stadiums are in a sports complex that's sort of cordoned off from surrounding neighborhoods. But there are surrounding neighborhoods; South Philadelphia. They're not bad neighborhoods; they're working class.

You can walk around those neighborhoods at night and not run into trouble.

But you're right, you don't really feel like the stadiums are amongst neighborhoods because they're kind of cordoned off, and the exits to the interstate are right there. You just hop right back on 95 and you're out of there.

All I know for sure is that FedEx Field is shit compared to Qwest Field. Seriously, would it kill our penny-pinching-overpricer of a bastard owner to make the seats a little wider or put in flat screens instead of those 1970's monitors around the stadium?

saden1:

Agree completely that Qwest Field is a GREAT NFL venue.

Giantone:

Lincoln Financial Field is in a good neighborhood with good road access, public transit and parking. The stadium is top-shelf too.

The fans who inhabit the stadium - - and their average state of iniebriation - - leave something to be desired. But Lincoln Financial Field is a light-year ahead of Fed Ex.

I have not yet been to New Meadowlands so I cannot say what that stadium is like.
