The specialized magazine The Athletic rated all the stadiums where professional NFL teams play. The Los Angeles Rams stadium was ranked second.
Here is a summary of the ratings:
The NFL is now down to 30 stadiums for its 32 teams, with the New York Giants and New York Jets sharing MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers sharing SoFi Stadium in southern California.
1.U.S. bank stadium
Team: Minnesota Vikings
Seating capacity: 66,000
Google review: 4.7 stars
This wasn’t even close. Half of the voters placed it No. 1 in their rankings. It also topped our list three years ago. Although it’s an indoor venue, half of the roof is transparent and the wall behind the end zone facing downtown Minneapolis is glass, allowing in a considerable amount of natural light. It opened in 2016, making it one of the league’s newest stadiums. It also helps that the Vikings do an excellent job with their pregame and in-game presentation.
2.SoFi Stadium
Teams: Los Angeles Rams, Los Angeles Chargers
Seating capacity: 70,000
Google review: 4.5 stars
Similar to U.S. Bank Stadium, this venue also has a transparent roof, allowing for an outdoor feel in an indoor stadium. It received seven first-place votes. It’s not a surprise to see one of the NFL’s newest stadiums rank so highly. One of its best features is the double-sided video board that hangs from the ceiling, circling around the entire field.
3. Lambeau Field
Team: Green Bay Packers
Seating capacity: 81,441
Google review: 4.8 stars
It jumped up one spot from the previous rankings, landing No. 1 overall on six ballots. Lambeau has been home to the Packers since 1957. If watching a game outside in cold weather is a problem, this place might not be for you. But if you like history, it would be difficult to find a better spot to watch a game. They’ve done an excellent job of upgrading the stadium over the years while still providing a historic feel.
4.AT&T Stadium
Team: Dallas Cowboys
Seating capacity: 80,000
Google review: 4.7 stars
Falling one spot from our previous ranking, AT&T Stadium is clearly still one of the best venues in all of sports. The retractable roof isn’t open much but when the doors and roof are open for a Sunday night or Monday night game, it’s difficult to find a better place to watch a game. The big screen above the field continues to be one of a kind. While some appreciate it, others complain that it distracts from watching the actual game on the field. AT&T Stadium opened in 2009 but still compares well to all of the newer stadiums. It landed in the top five on 19 ballots.
5.Lumen Field
Team: Seattle Seahawks
Seating capacity: 67,000
Google review: 4.6 stars
One of the top attractions is that it’s one of the loudest stadiums in sports. The outdoor venue has been home to the Seahawks since it opened in 2002. It was second on our previous list. This time around, it was in the top five on 18 ballots.
