The NFL is home to some of the most legendary stadiums in sports, but some are fantastic, and some probably need to be rebuilt from the ground up. The fan experience, history, food, and just the overall feel of the stadium on game day – all NFL stadiums bring something different. So which ones are elite, and which ones need a serious upgrade?
Since I haven’t been to most of these stadiums outside of Lumen Field in Seattle, SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, and the old Oakland Coliseum, this ranking comes straight from what the internet is saying based on online data, fan reviews, and overall stadium reputation.
Ranking NFL Stadiums From Worst to Best
30. FedEx Field (Washington Commanders)
This place is a disaster. Fans online constantly complain about leaky pipes, broken seats, and one of the worst gameday experiences in the league. It’s old, it’s outdated, and the location is garbage. The new ownership needs to make some serious changes.
29. MetLife Stadium (New York Giants & Jets)
Two major teams are stuck in a stadium with zero personality. Google reviews rip this place apart for its soulless atmosphere, bad sightlines, and that infamous turf that keeps injuring players. It feels more like an overpriced airport than a football stadium.
28. Soldier Field (Chicago Bears)
History is great, but this place is outdated. Fan feedback consistently calls it cramped and awkwardly renovated. The Bears are already working on leaving, and that says everything.
27. Highmark Stadium (Buffalo Bills)
Bills Mafia brings insane energy, but the stadium itself? Meh. Online reviews point out outdated facilities, extreme weather exposure, and a lack of modern amenities. Luckily, a new stadium is on the way.
26. Bank of America Stadium (Carolina Panthers)
Nothing really stands out here. Fans say it’s clean but lacks character and atmosphere. Compared to some of the newer stadiums, this one feels behind the times.
25. Nissan Stadium (Tennessee Titans)
Great city, mid stadium. Titans fans online say it’s serviceable but badly needs renovations. The location helps keep it from dropping lower.
24. Raymond James Stadium (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
The pirate ship is legendary, but outside of that, this stadium is just okay. Reviews mention heat exhaustion being a real issue and the overall vibe not being as electric as expected.
23. TIAA Bank Field (Jacksonville Jaguars)
Two words: swimming pools. A fun gimmick, but the stadium itself is outdated. Google reviews consistently mention empty seats and an overall meh experience.
22. Levi’s Stadium (San Francisco 49ers)
It looks great on TV, but fan complaints about the Santa Clara location, brutal sun exposure, and ridiculous traffic make it drop in the rankings. Feels like a missed opportunity.
21. Lucas Oil Stadium (Indianapolis Colts)
One of the better domes, but it lacks that ‘wow’ factor. Reviews praise the cleanliness and retractable roof but call out the dull atmosphere, although a bad football team has a lot to do with that as well.
20. Acrisure Stadium (Pittsburgh Steelers)
Steelers fans still call it Heinz Field, and for good reason. The riverside views are dope, but online reviews suggest the stadium is in need of modern upgrades.
19. Paycor Stadium (Cincinnati Bengals)
Joe Burrow made this place fun again. Reviews say the stadium is improving, but concessions and seating could be better.
18. Hard Rock Stadium (Miami Dolphins)
South Beach vibes, clean design, and a solid game-day experience. Fan feedback suggests that this is one of the better stadiums for a casual fan experience.
17. M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore Ravens)
A real football stadium. Fans love the atmosphere and tailgating, but some reviews mention outdated concourses and food options.
16. Gillette Stadium (New England Patriots)
This place was electric during the Brady era, but reviews say it’s lost some juice. Also, Foxborough is in the middle of nowhere, which hurts the experience.
15. State Farm Stadium (Arizona Cardinals)
Great dome and, great Super Bowl venue. Reviews highlight the excellent sightlines and retractable field as major pluses.
14. Ford Field (Detroit Lions)
Lions fans are bringing the hype back. Google reviews show a ton of love for this place, especially with Detroit’s recent football resurgence.
13. SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles Rams & Chargers)
One of the most high-tech stadiums in the world, but fan feedback suggests the atmosphere feels corporate and lacks true home-field energy.
12. AT&T Stadium (Dallas Cowboys)
The definition of luxury. That massive screen is insane. But online reviews say it feels more like an entertainment venue than a true football stadium.
11. Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta Falcons)
That scoreboard? Wild. Affordable food? Huge win. Fan feedback makes it clear this is one of the best modern stadiums.
10. Lumen Field (Seattle Seahawks)
This one I can speak on—LOUD. Easily one of the best atmospheres in the NFL. Google reviews confirm what I already know: This place is different.
9. Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas Raiders)
New, flashy, and built for the Vegas experience. Feels like a party every game. Fans love it.
8. Empower Field at Mile High (Denver Broncos)
The altitude makes it unique, and fans are LOYAL. The stadium has an old-school football vibe that people love.
7. NRG Stadium (Houston Texans)
Fan reviews confirm this is one of the best places to watch a game. The stadium features an armatta of screens so you can see the game wherever you are. The stadium was awarded a Fifa bid in 2026, which says a lot about NRG’s atmosphere.
6. U.S. Bank Stadium (Minnesota Vikings)
Futuristic but still gritty. One of the best designs in the NFL, and fan reviews back it up.
5. Caesars Superdome (New Orleans Saints)
Iconic. The energy in NOLA is unmatched, and the stadium reflects that. Fans rave about the game-day experience.
4. Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia Eagles)
Philly fans go HARD. Reviews say this stadium is one of the toughest places for an opposing team.
3. Lambeau Field (Green Bay Packers)
Historic, iconic, and legendary. The Frozen Tundra is a football tradition at its finest. Fans love it.
2. Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas Raiders)
Making another appearance because it’s just that dope. A true destination stadium.
1. Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City Chiefs)
The king. The energy, the sound, the atmosphere—nothing beats it. Fan feedback cements its GOAT status.
