National Football Post ranks all 31 NFL Stadiums.

Grew up near Chicago, and I have never been to the Silverdome. I do live with someone who grew up in Dearborn, and thus has been to the Silverdome multiple times, but it wouldn't help to make a comparsion.

Ford Field blew me away with how a football venue can be built to have state of the art facilities from the bathrooms to the concessions, to the the sightlines, be indoors, be as large as the stadium is, and still not have the game experience ruined by a stadium that is as large and not open-air as Ford Field is. Basically, I was impressed by the gameday experience, even though the Skins-Lions game I went to was in Detroit's 0-16 year.

Arrowhead, by comparison, is a really impressive football atmosphere, but for a football-only stadium, really was kind of a pain. There are "good" kinds of old, and Arrowhead wasn't of that kind. I know they did a really expensive renovation on it recently, but I have a hard team believing the stadium improved in any meaningful way.

(Kauffman Stadium (KC Royals) -- on the other hand -- is a beautiful venue, albiet preposterously limited in # of seats for an MLB park. I suppose though if you're the Royals, that doesn't much matter.)


Thanks.

The only time I was at a game in Arrowhead was in '74 or '75. My recollection was that it was a wonderful venue for that time - - much nicer than RFK or The Vet or Three Rivers or the bandbox the Pats played in back then (cannot even remember its name).

That was almost 40 years ago and certainly stadiums and amenities have advanced since then. I'll just prefer to remember Arrowhead for what it was.

Oh, and I used to love to go to see the Royals when I had to be in KC on business... Haven't been to Kauffman Stadium since about 1990.

The Pats played in Foxborough in a stadium built on the side of a hill next to a dog track the place was called "Schaeffer Stadium"...after the beer for and even 6 million dollars.I know this becuase my college was the closest to them and when they needed to practice on grass they would use our field and when we needed to play on turf we would bus about 1 mile over to the stadium, you could see it from my dorm room window.

Schaefer Stadium! That's it!

It would probably have taken me 30 years to dig that name out of the memory banks - - and the odds are that I am not going to be around 30 years from now.

What a dump that place used to be...

I remember going to saints games back in the 90s and no one was there. Since Katrina they have done a better job with the once called dump.. It's a unique place just for the atmosphere alone. The nicest I've been to was Raymond James, really nice facility IMO. I went to the new cowboys stadium but haven't seen a game there so I don't think that counts. I had tix to the skins game this yr but I decided I needed $ more than the game. I'll see them next yr hopefully

LOL....oh hell yah and back then the fields were humped backed (bowed) for drainage,you could stand on one side and not see below the wast of someone on the otherside of the field.That field was concrete and out door carpet....nothing else!

Ford Field is awesome, not really a bad seat in the house. I still hate sitting low and in end zone, but even they weren't that bad. Sat in both.

It's just a clean, well-designed stadium. I hate how they take bottle tops though, I like to keep my top on when I'm not sipping, I guess that's so they can't be used as weapons/projectiles?

The surrounding area/parking, roads are an utter clusterfawk though

Been to the Silverdome 8 0r 9 times back in the day. It was functional but very ugly. All I remember was concrete concrete concrete. The parking was decent, seems like we never had to walk very far.
