The 5 Best Football Stadiums you should visit in the US
Are you thinking about planning a trip to the US to see a live soccer game? Well, great news - we're here to help you narrow down that list of places to enjoy your favorite game or any NFL game. As expert websites recommend, here's a list of the five best NFL stadiums to watch a game.
Best NFL Stadiums According to Football Fans
1. Lambeau Field, Packers
Some refer to historic Lambeau Field as the Holy Grail of NFL stadiums. The fantastic NFL atmosphere here helps make this stadium the best in the NFL. Green Bay's tailgating scene can rival any team in the league, and the atmosphere on the field is what legends are made of. Regardless of the weather or the temperature, Lambeau Field will always be packed with fans yelling, "Go Pack Go!”
Of course, if you’re planning a visit to the stadium, you’ve probably already got a winning team in mind - as have many of the others who will be crowding in with you, excitedly waving their tickets, and possibly even betting on the matches. After all, what could make an already thrilling game even more gripping? For many fans, it’s the chance to win some money… and if that’s the case for you, don’t forget to check NFL odds before visiting a game!
Lambeau Field was built in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in 1957, making it one of the oldest stadiums in the league. Unfortunately, it’s subject to some pretty awful weather conditions, and that means it hasn’t hosted a single Super Bowl so far - nobody wants snow coming down on the players and ruining the game!
2. U.S. Bank Stadium, Vikings
U.S. Bank Stadium opened in 2016. It seats 73,000 and is home to the Minnesota Vikings. It’s hard to believe it’s almost 6 years old because it looks like it belongs in the future - and gosh, that translucent roof is amazing at night.
There is enough natural light in U.S. Bank Stadium that it doesn't feel claustrophobic, as many enclosed stadiums do.
3. AT&T Stadium, Cowboys
They say a game at AT&T Stadium is an experience like no other - you don’t have to go to Las Vegas to enjoy some real entertainment, it seems. "Part Las Vegas theater, part NFL stadium, AT&T has to be seen to be believed," says USA Today - and we’re with them, there’s no question that this is an incredible stadium for fans and players alike. The Cowboys have been playing like one of the best teams in the NFL lately too!
In 2009, AT&T Stadium was built in Arlington, Texas, with a construction cost of $1.5 billion. The stadium is known as Jerry World and The Death Star in honor of owner Jerry Jones and has a maximum capacity of 105,000. It is a structure built with a retractable roof and features one of the largest H.D. video screens in the world. In addition, the stadium is also being considered to host matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
4. Lumen Field, Seahawks
Over more than 18 years, Lumen Field, home of the Seahawks, has attracted massive attention. Lumen Field is one of the best stadiums in the NFL and is one of the loudest and rowdiest facilities in the NFL, as the '12th man' routinely makes life difficult for opposing offenses. One of the highlights of the Seahawks' first season in the conference championship in 2005 was a December game against the New York Giants in which the visitors were penalized with 11 false starts.
There is no more intimidating place to play as a visiting team than where Seattle fans are roaring. One of the best things about Lumen Field is its location since it's walkable to downtown Seattle.
5. GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Chiefs
GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium was previously only known as Arrowhead Stadium, but GEHA was added to the name in 2021. It is the sixth largest stadium in the NFL, with a seating capacity of 76,416. The stadium was built in 1972 at a cost of only $43 million. Built in the shape of an arrowhead, this iconic stadium has never hosted a Super Bowl in its history. Perhaps one day, however, the Kansas City Chiefs will see the game here!
They didn't have to design this stadium to be the loudest in the NFL: "Kansas City Chiefs fans show up in droves at Arrowhead and become loud on their own. … You can feel the 50 years of history in the stands as Chiefs fans turn up the volume, sing, chant, chant, and scream. Arrowhead Stadium is a magical experience," says Franchise Sports.
The only drawback is the distance from Kansas City, but its tailgate is the best party in the area anyway.
