Acrisure Stadium wasn’t really destroyed. It was used for filming the football scene in The Dark Knight Rises and actual Steelers players were used for the players in the movie
There were lots of these little asides that he didn't get. Some of them were cultural references that went over his head and some of them were age-related misses, like the "Purple Rain" bit, with Prince being from Minneapolis and all.
The FedEx Field reaction is on point, but it's even worse than it looks. Parts of the stadium are straight up crumbling, like how last year a pipe burst over some fans and a railing at field level collapsed, with several fans nearly landing on the other team's QB as he left the field. Also, Soldier Field is hated mostly because it underwent some terrible renovations that lowered the seating capacity and removed some of the more unique design and architecture of the original building, to the point it was taken off the list of national historic landmarks.
y’all believe everything you see, i was a season ticket member this year at fed ex. it’s not as bad as people make it out to be. definitely is not the best stadium but it’s certainly not the worst.
Heinz field wasn't actually destroyed it was just used in The Dark Knight Rises where Bane blows it up, also we saw them in the College football one, cause Pitt plays there.
Seattle and Kansas City have been fighting for a few years on who is the loudest. In 2010, the "Beast Quake" occurred when Marshawn Lynch broke 9 tackles on a 67 yard run to score in the 4th quarter of the Wild Card playoff game against the Saints. The stadium noise registered on nearby seismographs. However, Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City currently holds the record for loudest outdoor stadium noise reaching 142.2 decibels in a 2014 41-14 win over the New England Patriots. That's similar to a jet engine sound in loudness.
I’m sure the idiots in Seattle will push to get the title back. I’m not a fan of Seattle fans. They set off fireworks in areas where it’s illegal and generally disrupt the peace and quiet on a Sunday afternoon. I swear, Packer and Seahawk fans need to get a life. 🙄
No they haven't. KC has had the loudest stadium for a long time. Then Seattle decided to break it. Their stadium is even designed to be loud. KC took it back the next week or so and beat it by like 7 decibels. Arrowhead is an open stadium and is NOT designed to be loud. The fans just are that loud. There was never a battle or any back and forth. Seattle tried to take it and got crushed so bad they haven't tried again.
Mercedes Benz Stadium, as an experience, is excellent. All of the seats are super accessible, they've kept the price of concessions (beer, drinks, food) affordable, and there really isn't a "bad seat" from what I've seen.
The Super Dome in New Orleans is a > multi-purpose < building and not just a football stadium (most of the rest are just football stadiums). In addition to NFL and college/high school football games, the building has hosted baseball & basketball games. other sports such as motocross, "monster truck" competitions, many conventions/trade shows, an annual Mardi Gras ball, and also the Republican National Convention.
15:05 As far as everyone in Pittsburgh is concerned, it's still called Heinz Field, because at least Heinz is a company from Pittsburgh. Hell some people probably still call it Three Rivers Stadium, what the old stadium was called. It's ranked so high mainly because there's a spectacular view of Pittsburgh's skyline from the stadium.
As a massive Steelers fan from Montana, I'm sad I never got to go when when it was Heinz with the ketchup bottles in person. Taking out the bottles just removed some of the character of the stadium for me
Yes, NRG Stadium's roof is retractable...and Soldier Field is mostly loathed because the renovation back in the early 2000s looks like a spaceship landed and you can't see the colonnades from inside anymore
Lambeau is #1... it's the equivalent of the European Stadium you were talking about. It has a ton of history. It has housed Champions for over 70 years. Also, it was home of Coach Lombardi, his name is on the Superbowl trophy
Lambeau has a South American relative Estadio Monumental in Peru is kinda similar in that it’s bowl circled by boxes and a similar capacity 80000 A lot more concrete than Green Bay but similar
I preferred the name Heinz Field to "Acrisure" Stadium (never heard of Acrisure or have any idea of what business it's in, while Heinz was at least a local family as well as a big local company) but he doesn't show the best angle. Both Heinz Field and PNC Park get ranked fairly high in their respective leagues because the riverside ends were left open so most of the spectators get a view of the water, the distinctive skyline of the city, and the slope of Mt. Washington in the distance, in addition to the pitch.
4:53 One of the coolest things about the Super Dome is it was built in 1975! It still holds up today in visuals, amazing looking stadium, and even cooler in person.
Lambeau Field isn't the most beautiful or the biggest. But it is easily number 1. The Packers history is unmatched. 103 years old. Started out as the Acme Packers. A true "small town" franchise. The smallest market in professional sports. Only about 100k people live in the city, but it's one of the most popular teams in America. 11 NFL championships and 4 super bowls. Title town. There is a 40+ year waiting list for season tickets. People leave them in their will for their kids. Plus there is no singular owner. Fans can buy shares of the team and become owners. The most storied franchise with the best fan base. 3 of the greatest QBs to ever play. The new stadiums may be pretty...but they will never be able to replicate a Lambeau leap in the middle of a snow storm in -15 degree weather. The frozen tundra. Easily number 1. Without question
Seattle has the loudest crowd per capita where as Arrowhead is the loudest overall. The roof at Lumen is built like that so that all the noise bounces back onto the field. It’s also right next to the baseball field so during the beginning of the football season and the end of baseball there’s a lot of activity in that part of town. Edit: to see why we get so loud look up the first play of Super Bowl 48. Usually Super Bowl crowds are fairly neutral but we flooded that stadium and made it so loud that Denver’s offense couldn’t hear each other. Now imagine that at home all season Also during the 2026 World Cup both Arrowhead and Lumen field will host matches so if you find yourself attending any matches during that WC I’d recommend going to those ones
@@jeffwilliams2828 arrowhead has 20,000 more seats. The fact that Seattle is comparable despite the smaller crowd puts asterisk when comparing crowd noise
Mercedes in Atlanta will change your mind in real life, the way the roof opens is amazing. Not just the Falcons home, It is the host of the SEC Championship (LSU-Georgia) and Chick-Fil-A Bowl (Ohio State - Georgia), also home to Atlanta United FC, most attended "Soccer" team in the US.
Dude I love your videos!! You HAVE to do MLB stadiums next. Soooooo much variety in those. And not just in the stadium. The outfield dimensions are different on EVERY field.
@3:44 "The sponsor probably build the stadium for you guys". That's cute. All the money comes from the team AND the city/state it's built. Sometimes the city gets screwed other times it's not bad. For example the Titans just got the go ahead for a new stadium and the owner is paying for it outside a raise in the tax on hotel rooms and a weird sales tax that just a few blocks around the stadium so it shouldn't cost the locals much if anything
The Vikings Stadium looks soooo much better than that couple pictures he showed. I’m so happy we have such a beautiful stadium to fit our crazy energy. Tickets aren’t very expensive, food is good, we have a Gjallarhon! And a better ship than the Buccaneers😂 Highly recommend coming to a Vikings game if you’re ever in MN!
Soldier Field in Chicago probably won't be used by the Bears much longer. They are trying to get a new Stadium. Also, Heinz field (or whatever the new name is) in Pittsburgh wasn't really destroyed lol. It was used in a Batman movie though. (I still think the baseball field in Pittsburgh is better, same views but better looking design)
As a Redskins/Football Team/Commanders fan, I've gotten to the point where I wear every diss on our organization as a badge of honor 😂😂. ONE day we WILL be good!!
The thing about Lambeau Field is that it's in Green Bay, Wisconsin which only has a population of about 107k, yet the team has produced 13 championships. It does draw fans from the whole state (including Milwaukee whose metro area exceeds one million residents). The Packers are the league's only publicly owned franchise and there's a uniqueness about them that draw fans from all around the country.
I lived in GB for a few years. It's a cool stadium for sure, but the best is the tailgates. People will just ask if you want a brat or a beer and wanna hang out and chat. It's always funny though seeing all the houses across the street from the stadium having "$20 Parking" signs out front and dozens of cars on the lawn.
There are 100 football stadiums with a capacity of 50K+ in the country, so theoretically (depending on some sideline widths) every country could play a FIFA match simultaneously.
Seattle is louder per capita as arrowhead has like 20,000 more seats. Also the way the roof is built means less noise escapes and more end up on the field
Lambeau Field is like Wrigley Field. Everyone has it on their bucket list but chances are your ass will be hurting (or stuck behind a pillar) during the game and there’s a high chance you’ll have shitty weather. Lambeau still the best imo regardless
You should go find the RU-vid "Ice Bowl" NFL Championship game played at Lambeau Field" on New Year's Eve, December 31, 1967. This was between the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers and would determine who would go on to play in Super Bowl II. It was -15 degrees fahrenheit, -23 degrees centigrade at kick-off. Lambeau Field was a lot smaller capacity and had asomewhat open end so the wind would blow right in to ground level.
Lambeau being a complete bowl and lack of individual seats actually helps keep in the heat in the seating bowl. More people packed together along with the wind not being able to enter the stadium as easily due to a lack of open ends causes it to retain heat. Its still cold in the winter but its not as bad as the media portrays it to be.
My University, the University of Kentucky (the other UK), was one of the first college D1 and only SEC stadium to have a sponsored name. Kroger Field. I’m not bothered by that because many if not most students who live near campus buy their groceries at a Kroger that is close to campus. So , to me, going to Kroger is part of the student experience.
Even the stadiums at the bottom of the list are state of the art compared to stadiums around the world. The narrator is being overly picky and critical to get a response. Even the stadium amenities in Jacksonville are a wonderful experience for fans.
Yeah this is a point I made at some point during the video, you guys really are spoiled with wonderful facilities and some of your "bottom 10" stadiums would be the best stadiums in A LOT of countries
Was interested that you brought up the MLB. Are you looking at watching baseball games as well? If so, it's one of those things that's much better in the stadium than on TV. It's "America's Pastime", not "America's Sport". It's a reason to go sit in the sun and have a couple beers, while rooting on the home team. At least until the playoffs, when it becomes much more exciting.
They used to have a line of different color chairs in Denver’s Mile High Stadium (Empower Field) that showed where the actual elevation reaches a mile high. It was kind of cool to see that
All that stuff you said about Old Trafford and why it would be higher on any list like this than other, better stadiums?? That applies to Lambeau Field in Green Bay. It has a very storied history and some of the best fans in the league.... and I say this as a KC Chiefs fan. Someone literally has to die for you to be able to get season tickets. People leave them to their children in their wills. It's why such an plain-looking old stadium (opened in 1957) with only bench seating is #3 on the list.
State Farm Stadium, the stadium for the Arizona Cardinals, is a lot more unique than was given credit for - I kind of hate that video because it's just a guy saying "Here's kind of how I feel based on how this looks" without giving any history or unique features really. Anyway, the Cardinals stadium was the first in the league to have a retractable roof, and the first to have a natural grass field indoors - they achieved this by putting the field in an enormous tray on wheels that has hundreds of small motors to move it outside, where the grass can get actual sunshine etc, and then can be rolled back in to play on. The retractable roof was a necessity as Phoenix is the hottest major city in the country and one of the hottest in the world - in the summer it has gotten to 122F (50c), so pre-season games and early season games are still in hot weather. But by mid-October they tend to start opening the roof for games as the weather becomes basically paradise and then we have the most mild winters around, so it's great. The stadium has those vertical windows that look almost like slits in the stadium and this too was on purpose to evoke the sight of the barrel cactus, a commonly-occurring sight here in the Sonoran desert (though obviously not as iconic as the Saguaro...I just dont know how you'd make a stadium resemble a saguaro). There's also a statue of the late, great Pat Tillman out front, who at the height of his career left millions on the table after 9/11 and joined the Army to go fight, only to be killed by friendly fire in a very suspicious way and then was used by the government as a recruiting tool despite him being the kind of person that would have despised that. There are some good vids on RU-vid about him, highly recommend you watch one. Anyway, just chiming in late about that.
The people trying so hard to keep the bears in the beyond ancient and just plain irreparable Soldier field need to just accept that Soldier field just isn't gonna be sufficient going forward no matter how nice a dress you put on that pig. Its time to move on. All things shall pass and Soldiers run is nearing its end
Sponsors don’t pay for the stadiums here. They pay for the naming rights. We the taxpayers end up paying for the stadiums or the owners threaten to move the teams.
Number 13. The eagles stadium, one really cool thing is that it’s 100 percent green energy. The roofs with wings are covered in solar panels and there are wind turbines as well.
So many of the original videos lame jokes went over your head XD Eagar Allen Poe was America's first famous author who had a book called The Raven not an NFL RB, Heinz field didn't suffer a catastrophic earthquake that was from a (batman?) movie, and Purple Rain is a song from Prince who was born in Minnesota
Every person who watches the nfl knows that fedex field is absolutely trash and that the owner of the commanders should sell the commanders to an actual owner who wants to actually own an nfl team.
You may not know, but Paul Brown founded (and was the original head coach) of the Cleveland Browns. The team name "Browns" is for Paul Brown. Brown later sold the team and founded the Cincinnati Bengals. Hence the reason why the video mentioned that 2 NFL teams in the same state (Ohio) are "named" for him.
Most of the time the sponsors don't build anything, they just give a ton of money to the owners and then they do their best to force the taxpayers to foot the bill for the stadiums.
from Seattle, The cheering gets so loud that it has been registered as an earthquake on multiple occasions, The field is specially designed for that. my thoughts go out to anyone who has to work/live next to the arena though
Mile High Stadium (the old one was always Mile High) was replaced and the one that replaced it has been (some soon to be bankrupt corp) stadium at Mile High. Ridiculously stupid sounding stuff. But the reason it exist is because these cities are blackmailed with a possible move of the team if they dont get huge chunks of tax money to build them and the corporate sponsorships offset some of the tax bill.
Example. The Raiders got their new stadium from Las Vegas in a bidding war for tax payer money that their historic city of Oakland lost. Its why most NFL teams move. Rams, Colts, Cardinals, Raiders, Chargers. Pay half of our billion dollar stadium or we are leaving.
I think the Superdome in New Orleans was built way ahead of its time. It’s like you’re entering a Huge Gigantic Spaceship. I’m glad they decided to keep it versus building a new venue. New stadium wise, the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas is unreal.
Hey @Britishguy69994 a couple fun facts about these stadiumsFun fact no. 1: Hard Rock, Arrowhead, NRG Stadium, MetLife, Gillette, Lincoln Financial Field, FedEx Field, Mercedes-Benz, AT&T Stadium, Levi Stadium, and Lumen Field will all be hosting 2026 World Cup events. Fun fact no 2: Gillette, Bank of America, Mercedes-Benz, Lumen Field, and Soldier Field also share their stadiums with MLS teams. Fun fact no. 3: the Caesars super dome hosted a few super owls, and in one Super Bowl the lights failed in the middle of the game, causing a lengthy delay. Fun fact no. 4: I’ve been to Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Bank of America, TIAA Bank Stadium, Caesars super dome, and NRG Stadium, and I think he is overly harsh to TIAA, BOA, and Nissan and too high on NRG and mercedes-Benz.
The Aussies have had Pool decks in their cricket stadiums for years also The Gabba for sure , I think the old WACA had one too Monaco’s football field sits on top of an Olympic sized indoor pool
Arrowhead (GEHA Stadium) in Kansas City holds the Guiness World Record for loudest outdoor stadium in the world. Chiefs fans held the record, Seattle broke it and Chiefs fans crushed Seattle AGAIN, and took back the record a week or two later. No one has been able to come close since.
with regards to historical sports events and concerts held there definitely. the indoor lighting is very dated but it looks much better on gameday than this video makes it appear and the outside lit up with various changine colors is just incredible!
Imo roof canopies are overrated, I see why emgland has them, the weather being a factor. But most US stadiums don't have rain alot, and plus surrounding scenery was big factor and having a roof can kill the scenery
17:34 Seattle is the second loudest he mentioned during the Chiefs stadium that they are indeed the loudest. Guinness world record holders for loudest stadium in the world.
Funny you should mention that, because Seattle was so loud and shook so hard during a moment in the playoffs it registered on the seismic scale, and was therefore called the "Beast-quake"
@@chrissears5482 lol as a Seattle fan you should know this is based off of the decibel scale. We broke your record handily and our stadium doesn’t have a roof for noise to bounce off of unlike yours.
American stadiums tend to be rather utilitarian because they're not owned by the franchises, themselves; most of these buildings are taxpayer funded and owned by their state or county, and the team simply leases the building.
I have to say that the atmosphere really counts for something in the ranking of NFL stadiums. I have only been to two stadiums so far, however the experience I've had in each stadium was on different levels. I'm a die hard Chiefs fan, so I have been to Arrowhead Stadium several times. Even in the games before the Patrick Mahomes era, Arrowhead is electric. Arrowhead is loud, fun and has great traditions. I have also been to the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and I have to say that in most stadium rankings it ranks near or above Arrowhead, but I am here to tell you that they aren't in the same league. The Cardinals stadium is nice and it keeps you out of the oven that the Arizona sun creates, but Arrowhead is far superior in atmosphere and fan experience. In rankings, I give State Farm Stadium a #9 and I give GEHA at Arrowhead a #5. There have been talks of moving it, but I don't think that will be an option. Arrowhead is a historic site now.
Don't worry about calling FedEx Field shit. Washington Commanders fans even hate the stadium (and the team's owner, Dan Snyder). TIAA Bank Field is probably not a place the LA Chargers look forward to playing at after they threw away a 27-0 lead (also known as Chargering to extents not before seen [the Chargers are notorious for finding ways to lose games they should easily win]), losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars. And, yes, it does have a pool. Caesars Superdome...I remember when the power went there out after halftime at Super Bowl XLVII. It became a popular target for memes. Paul Brown Stadium (now called Paycor Stadium)...that one's cursed. Four of the most horrific injuries in recent NFL history (Ryan Shazier [2017 Week 13], Antonio Brown [2015 Wild Card], Tua Tagovailoa [2022 Week 4], Damar Hamlin [2022 Week 17]) have all happened on that field. The roof at NRG Stadium is retractable, but it's rarely open for Texans games, apparently to keep crowd noise in. Levi's Stadium...pilots don't like flying into San Jose at night when it's in use, because the lights are a blinding hazard, with the stadium being in the flight path. I only hate Soldier Field because I'm a Packers fan and hate da Bears, but I can see where the legit hate for Soldier Field comes from. The record for loudest NFL stadium has bounced back and forth between Lumen Field and Arrowhead, which currently holds the record at 142.2 decibels. What's going on in Seattle? Seattle sports fans are amongst the most passionate fans in the country. Just look at the Mariners last season, especially when it looked likely that they were going to break the 20-year postseason drought (seriously, before last season, the last time the Mariners had made the postseason, the September 11 terrorist attacks had just happened, and Jean Alesi was still in F1 [among other things]). T-Mobile Park became known as the "Electric Factory", because fans amped up the atmosphere for every home game. Back to American football, though.... Mercedes-Benz Stadium isn't my favorite of the Falcons' stadiums- I much prefer the Georgia Dome (Mercedes-Benz Stadium was built right in the parking lot for the old Georgia Dome). Lambeau Field...I must go, my people are calling. (I especially regret not being there when Bayern Munich played Man City last July.) U.S. Bank Stadium...Appropriately for the home stadium of the purple incarnation of Satan, this stadium is a death trap for birds. When this stadium was built, the Vikings were told that that was a problem, and what they could do to mitigate it- AND THEY DID NOTHING! They aren't the purple incarnation of Satan for nothing. (But their stadium does look like a Viking ship from the outside, especially during primetime games.) Check out NHL arenas and NHL Winter Classic stadiums, next. The same guy who did this countdown did one on NHL stadiums, and Johnny Hawkey did a ranking of every Winter Classic stadium a couple weeks ago, and uploaded it the day of this year's Winter Classic.
As much as I hate the Cowbois, AT&T Stadium is gorgeous and I hope they don't replace it for at least another 90 years, it's expandable to over 100k as it hosted Super Bowl 45 in the 2010-11 season, and it drew ~105k people! 80k is just the minimum capacity, they overdraw all the time there.
Highmark is the name of a medical insurance company that operates a Blue Cross Blue Shield plan. Most NFL stadiums (except for Soldier Field and Paul Brown Stadium) sell their naming rights, so they do change their names periodically when the contracts for naming rights expire. This happens for most MLB stadiums/parks as well. My local MLB park used to be called Safeco Park before T-Mobile took over the naming rights in 2019, and now it’s T-Mobile Park, as one of the national headquarters for the cellular carrier (a subsidiary of Deutsches Telekom) is nearby in Bellevue. Hope that helps clarify why most of these stadiums are named after corporations.
17:34 It's the same way with the Mariners (MLB) and Kraken (NHL). So what can I say? We're just very, very, VERY loud and proud about our sports teams. Probably too loud for our own good, but whatever 😂
Almost all NFL stadiums have corporate sponsor names, and worse, the turnover of sponsors has become rather high, so they change names every few years. A sort of exception is Detroit's Ford Field, as the Ford family owns the Lions so the name is relevant to the team. In the initial shot of Houston's NRG, you can see part of the original NFL/MLB domed stadium, the Astrodome., on the right. The Giants/Jets stadium is in neutral colors when empty because they add colored trim around the field for game days depending on which team is at home. Highmark, the Buffalo Bills stadium, is currently named for a medical insurance company. It also has one of the more vibrant tailgating cultures in the NFL. It was originally Rich Stadium, named after a local food products company and went fairly recently by Ralph Wilson Stadium after the original owner of the Bills until they were sold after Wikson passed away.
