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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
@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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
I work at #1 Sofi Stadium in Inglewood California. Its such an amazing venue. One of my favorite parts during a football game is hearing the entire stadium sing the National Anthem before a football game starts.
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!
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
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 CZcams "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.
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.
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
Even when stadiums are officially named after sponsors, you’ll often hear fans still refer to them by their classic names. As a Portlander, I still sometimes call our basketball stadium “The Rose Garden” even though it’s been called The Moda Center for over a decade now.
That is a real thing. TIAA Bank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida does have a swimming pool.. But the number 1 favorite Stadium for me is Empower Field at Mile High. I’m originally from Denver, Colorado and a huge Denver Broncos fan as well as a huge Colorado Avalanche fan. And I remember seeing Empower Field at Mile High being built right next to where Mile High Stadium used to be
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.
I’ve also been to FedEx field before and I’ve been to Arrowhead Stadium before. And I’ve been to M&T Bank Stadium many times. Had a marching band competition at M&T Bank Stadium in my freshman year of high school
When you do the MLB (baseball) stadium tour, Fenway Park (Boston) and Wrigley Field (Chicago) would be the equivalent of Old Trafford, as both parks are over 100 years old. Lots of character!
"Oh High Mark" Stadium, Soldier Field and Nissan are on their last days as their respective teams will be playing in New stadiums within the next decade.
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 CZcams about him, highly recommend you watch one. Anyway, just chiming in late about that.
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.
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.
Alot of stadiums have there own names, but the sponsors are what the networks call them. For example, tiaa bank (Jax) is called the gator bowl, its just what it is
Lucas Oil Stadium was built to to look like a warehouse and out of the same type of material as the other 3 large stadiums in Indianapolis with brick and locally sourced limestone. It’s roof is retractable and the giant window on the north end are is also retractable. Ford Field was built in the husk of an old Ford factory which the owners thought was fitting considering the Ford family are the team owners. The reason Soldier Field is so hated is because the remodel in 2000. Soldier Field used to look like a Roman gladiatorial arena. But they tore much of it down, dropped in the new bit and it shrunk seating capacity by 20,000. NRG Stadium also has a retractable roof and State Farm Stadium has a retractable roof and grass field. It also looks like a giant marshmallow because that design helps keep the energy cost down because it doesn’t attract as much heat as a angular stadium would.
The SuperDome was built in the mid 70s, and had a number of renovations over the years and hosted plenty of Super bowls , that's because New Orleans in a party town in the South
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.
TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville is undergoing a $1B renovation, they’re adding a dome roof as well as new seating and venues. Should be much higher on this list come 2024
You are right the roof of NRG Stadium is retractable sir and Soldier field in Chicago was renovated in 2002 but only the seating bowl was and it was a historical landmark but the stadium lost that status in 2006.
The reason some people go to Jags game is specifically for the pool. The only good part of Highmark Stadium is that the Bills are getting a new one. And they are getting a new one. The roof/no roof conversation has been going on for decades. I honestly think if you're in northern states that get a lot of snow or certain southern states that get ridiculously hot you should be in an indoor stadium. The still shot of the inside Raymond Stadium doesn't do the pirate ship justice. When he says "Lake plus wind equals cold", he's really underplaying just how nasty it gets. Chicago sits right on the edge of Lake Michigan and there is NOTHING stopping the wind coming off the lake for dozens or hundreds of miles. If you missed it, it was discussed in a college football stadium episode you did, Heinz Field was used in The Dark Knight Rises. Its destruction was CGI. Seattle Sounders share the stadium with the Seahawks.
Bank of America Stadium Charlotte Panthers I really like our stadium a lot. I mean I wouldn't mind a half roof but it is what it is. Full roof they can't do flyby's fly-overs so I prefer it open. Plus, the cityscape you see from the stadium is really nice and I love the black and the gorgeous giant panther statues outside. When you're actually at the stadiums the all feel really different and have a personality. The walkways and food areas things like that really affect the feel a lot. I love the way Giants Stadium looks once the fans are inside because the blue and red of their jerseys is so bright so the fans outfits really add an extra oomf. Although I will say I feel a little intimidated there when I'm there for the Panthers. I feel like coming to a Panthers Stadium game is way less intimidating for outside fans. But really really thought everything felt so pretty at the Giants. The Atlanta stadium feels very different, it's very nice a very clean feel and the fans are really nice too. I will say it did remind me a tiny bit of the feel of my High School tho I will say. I went to a huge high school. The Dolphins stadium, I'm originally from Miami and it's just so fun, sunny and everyone dances. Those are the only ones I ve been too but it's really all the different fans that make the stadiums beautiful and unique if you ask me. Each stadium the fans give them a completely different feel and energy.
He’s really sniffing glue when it comes to the SuperDome that wasn’t even a New Orleans saints game 😂 not bad for a 40+ year stadium. That hosted seven and soon to be eight Super Bowl
Most Stadiums are named after sponsors. A cool one though is "Ford Field". The Detroit Lions are owned by the Ford family (of Ford Motor Company), so it's kind of named after the owners as well.
I would say that University of Phoenix Stadium is actually much wielder in person. It looks like a giant space ship has landed and is kind of imposing at ground level.
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.
Stadium naming rights are a HUGE deal here in the states. Especially if they aren't outright privately owned by a company who then keeps their name on it.
One note regarding the roofs, the announcer very much understated the need for them. Keep in mind that the weather these stadiums are trying to keep out is snow.
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
Acrisure sounds terrible. It will always be Heinz to me lol
@@Alex-kd5xc Yep, most yinzers agree that it will always be Heinz Field.
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.
@@ImThe5thKing It’s Heinz Field but Acrisure Stadium
Yeah and the one scoring the touchdown was hienz ward
Lukas Oil was designed to look like a factory because Indianapolis was one of the major manufacturing hubs of the US back in the day.
Lucas Oil looks great with the view including the city around it while driving to it. They did a good job.
Lucas Oil Stadium is shaped like a factory because of the oil used for the Indy 500
It's not shaped like a factory lmao. It's shaped like a classic Indiana fieldhouse, representing the basketball tradition in the state.
@@evannelson4203 I live near that stadium, sometimes people call it a Kroger
One of the best stadiums in the league.
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.
Oh man I can't believe that one went over my head 😂
Seattle and Kansas City have been fighting for a few years on who is the loudest.

It’s crazy just how loud it is

I’m pretty sure Arrowhead was built in ‘72. Also has held up well against modern stadiums.
Yes it does! Such an iconic venue!
The swimming pools in Jacksonville Stadium are in fact real, and during games, there are people that watch the game from the pools.
as a New Orleans fan who absolutely loves our stadium and how space age it looks it's super cool to hear someone else think the same!
Yeah. Our stadium is awesome
Who dat!
I love how he didnt believe there were pools in the Jags stadium but completely went with that joke about the Dark Knight 😭
Yes there is a swimming pool in the Jags Stadium. Tickets are expensive and come with all you can eat/drink privileges for that area.
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.
It’s also worth noting that was a sewage pipe
Also compared to other stadiums in the DC area, FedEx is nowhere near any decent public transportation.
DC has one of the worst owners in the NFL.
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.
Jalen almost got Hurts
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.
It looks way better at night

I think the Superdome is the best Stadium ever built.

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
Lambeau and Old Trafford are a great comparison.
It's a bit of a shit stadium. Definitely a real black eye for the NFL.
It's #30... Yeah I get all the history and stuff, but in terms of the stadium itself, like, the facility, terrible, definitely the worst
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.

Acrisure is a financial technology and insurance company. But it sounds more like some disease.

Loudest per capita? Lol. As a Chiefs fan who was in attendance when we set the Guinness World record, hold the L with dignity Seattle.
I don’t think there is a world record for “loudest per capita” 😂 y’all aren’t loud enough just live with it
I think we were the loudest but arrowhead overtook us a few years ago. Safe to say Lumen is the second loudest stadium though.
@@GoOp790 not loud enough? We don’t need an extra 20,000 seats to make a record

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.
NFL championships are completely worthless and without merit. Only losers with no lives care about them.
@@jesses5463 your mom cares about them
@@jesses5463 Yet you are here. So who is the loser?
@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
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
13 championships
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
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.
Arrowhead is the loudest stadium...i was lucky enough to be at the game when we won the Guinness world record!! 142.2 decibels
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.
Hopefully it'll stay the only sponsored SEC stadium.
Kroger Field reminds me of the stadium in Buffalo.
its really hard to rank these because the atmosphere is so electric in all of them in their own unique way
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.
So The Steelers stadium wasn’t actually destroyed, that was a scene from The Dark Knight Rises
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!!
Yup same here haha
If you were smart, you would be a Baltimore Ravens fan. Accept it. They’re just a better organization.
You we a first class organization under Joe Gibbs.
@@boogitybear2283 If you're a true fan you don't abandon your team. Regardless of how bad they are. The Ravens have their own issues now anyways.
Being in the superdome is a unique experience. I've been inside that venue so many times as a kid. I remember thinking it looked like a spaceship.
HardRock at Miami was built in 1987. It was almost totally different than it is today, because of recent renovations
Caesar's bought the naming rights to the Super Dome in 2021 so it's "Caesar's Super Dome" now. Mercedes Benz is back down to one stadium.
Should check out the baseball stadiums of the MLB, there is a lot of variety in those
Hey man, love your vids! You should do a video reacting to the beat plays in Super Bowl history in a few weeks once we get closer to the Super Bowl
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.
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.
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.
FedEx Field(Jack Kent Cook Stadium) was a hole before it was built.
15:37 that was a joke because they used the Steelers and their field in the Dark Knight Rises
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.
Can you react to Premier League Stadiums? Would be pretty cool to get some back story on them
I definitely could but I reckon that video might only get 10 views on this Channel 😂 But I definitely will do it eventually because I'll enjoy it
Mile high in Denver is a mile in altitude and that’s its biggest claim to fame, personally lumen field in seattle, and mile high are one and two
The Super Dome in New Orleans could be so much nicer if the city cared but they don’t. For being almost 50 years old, it’s actually really solid.
They did just get $450 mil for renovations. It’s also on the US National Register of Historic places
The city does care
I work at #1 Sofi Stadium in Inglewood California. Its such an amazing venue. One of my favorite parts during a football game is hearing the entire stadium sing the National Anthem before a football game starts.
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!
I was hoping they'd put the Vikings at #1 just so they could win something for a change. lol
The AT&T stadium of the Dallas Cowboys usually hosts the Mexico’s national team friendlies and it’s such an electric experience every time I go
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
yes, the Jaguars actually have usable swimming pools for some box suites 🤣
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
Also the bleachers help with snow removal, but yes they do hurt your ass especially in January.
You should go find the CZcams "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.
@@kentayers4578 oh ya Ik I’m from wisco
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.
The jaguars stadium does have pools, their for vips tho or you have to pay a stupid price
That's crazy 😂
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.
Nice video
He said it's one of the loudest not the loudest arrowhead stadium is the loudest stadium
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
Even when stadiums are officially named after sponsors, you’ll often hear fans still refer to them by their classic names. As a Portlander, I still sometimes call our basketball stadium “The Rose Garden” even though it’s been called The Moda Center for over a decade now.
That is a real thing. TIAA Bank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida does have a swimming pool.. But the number 1 favorite Stadium for me is Empower Field at Mile High. I’m originally from Denver, Colorado and a huge Denver Broncos fan as well as a huge Colorado Avalanche fan. And I remember seeing Empower Field at Mile High being built right next to where Mile High Stadium used to be
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.
I’ve also been to FedEx field before and I’ve been to Arrowhead Stadium before. And I’ve been to M&T Bank Stadium many times. Had a marching band competition at M&T Bank Stadium in my freshman year of high school
17:50 got to see my team play there this year, its a really cool stadium and the steak sandwiches are amazing there. So its my favorite.
when it was heinz field, they had a ketchup bottle above the scoreboard.
Yes they do have a swimming pool
Lambeau is basically the equivalent of Old Trafford
Just as an FYI, I was in a marching band competition at Soldier Field in Chicago when I was in high school. It’s an awesome stadium to be in.
look up the New Orleans Superdome and youll come across pictures of the exterior lit up at night which makes it look otherwordly
Tennessee is trying to build a new stadium, kinda smart to Las Vegas Allegiant field
When you do the MLB (baseball) stadium tour, Fenway Park (Boston) and Wrigley Field (Chicago) would be the equivalent of Old Trafford, as both parks are over 100 years old. Lots of character!
"Oh High Mark" Stadium, Soldier Field and Nissan are on their last days as their respective teams will be playing in New stadiums within the next decade.
I've seen mile high in person it's huge I see it when ever I go to Denver I do live 2 hours away though
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 CZcams about him, highly recommend you watch one.
Anyway, just chiming in late about that.
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.
How can Arrohead be the loudest? The crowd at LSU’s Tiger stadium has actually been recorded on seismographs as actual magnitude earthquakes.
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"
I'm not aware of any Kelce-quakes or Mahomes-aftershocks
@@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.
@@gracielynn9623 decibels levels
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.
Fun fact number 5. FedEx Field isnt hosting World Cup games.
As an Indiana native, I think the colts stadium pictures don’t do it justice, it’s a cool stadium
Yes, the swimming pool is the real thing. There is also a baseball stadium in California with a swimming pool.
Paul Brown Stadium was just renamed to Paycor Stadium just before the start of this season
Alot of stadiums have there own names, but the sponsors are what the networks call them. For example, tiaa bank (Jax) is called the gator bowl, its just what it is
Lucas Oil Stadium was built to to look like a warehouse and out of the same type of material as the other 3 large stadiums in Indianapolis with brick and locally sourced limestone. It’s roof is retractable and the giant window on the north end are is also retractable. Ford Field was built in the husk of an old Ford factory which the owners thought was fitting considering the Ford family are the team owners. The reason Soldier Field is so hated is because the remodel in 2000. Soldier Field used to look like a Roman gladiatorial arena. But they tore much of it down, dropped in the new bit and it shrunk seating capacity by 20,000. NRG Stadium also has a retractable roof and State Farm Stadium has a retractable roof and grass field. It also looks like a giant marshmallow because that design helps keep the energy cost down because it doesn’t attract as much heat as a angular stadium would.
Lambeau field is the equivalent of Old Trafford in terms of history. That is why it was so high up.
The SuperDome was built in the mid 70s, and had a number of renovations over the years and hosted plenty of Super bowls , that's because New Orleans in a party town in the South
Number 4 has a roof that can pull back and open up thats why it was designed that way supposedly
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.
His top 3 are also the 3 newest stadiums.
Lam beau field is 60+ years old
I’ve seen this same video and he’s pretty accurate on most. I saw Soldier Field and it’s ok and I went to a game at SoFi and it was awesome
you should see the metlife when they had wrestlemania there
12 of these stadiums will host games for the 2026 World Cup including Arrowhead stadium in Kansas City
Also lumen field has a car on top of that tower and arrowhead is the loudest.
They just remodeled Gillette Stadium and it looks amazing! The lighthouse is a lot nicer than the old one.
TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville is undergoing a $1B renovation, they’re adding a dome roof as well as new seating and venues. Should be much higher on this list come 2024
The history of lambeau field is that in 1957 it opened many legends have played like Brett farve bart star and many other players
You are right the roof of NRG Stadium is retractable sir and Soldier field in Chicago was renovated in 2002 but only the seating bowl was and it was a historical landmark but the stadium lost that status in 2006.
The reason some people go to Jags game is specifically for the pool.
The only good part of Highmark Stadium is that the Bills are getting a new one. And they are getting a new one.
The roof/no roof conversation has been going on for decades. I honestly think if you're in northern states that get a lot of snow or certain southern states that get ridiculously hot you should be in an indoor stadium.
The still shot of the inside Raymond Stadium doesn't do the pirate ship justice.
When he says "Lake plus wind equals cold", he's really underplaying just how nasty it gets. Chicago sits right on the edge of Lake Michigan and there is NOTHING stopping the wind coming off the lake for dozens or hundreds of miles.
If you missed it, it was discussed in a college football stadium episode you did, Heinz Field was used in The Dark Knight Rises. Its destruction was CGI.
Seattle Sounders share the stadium with the Seahawks.
I will always be partial to arrowhead being part of the Chiefs nation since I was in my youth going to that stadium is always an amazing feel
Bank of America Stadium Charlotte Panthers I really like our stadium a lot. I mean I wouldn't mind a half roof but it is what it is. Full roof they can't do flyby's fly-overs so I prefer it open. Plus, the cityscape you see from the stadium is really nice and I love the black and the gorgeous giant panther statues outside. When you're actually at the stadiums the all feel really different and have a personality. The walkways and food areas things like that really affect the feel a lot. I love the way Giants Stadium looks once the fans are inside because the blue and red of their jerseys is so bright so the fans outfits really add an extra oomf. Although I will say I feel a little intimidated there when I'm there for the Panthers. I feel like coming to a Panthers Stadium game is way less intimidating for outside fans. But really really thought everything felt so pretty at the Giants. The Atlanta stadium feels very different, it's very nice a very clean feel and the fans are really nice too. I will say it did remind me a tiny bit of the feel of my High School tho I will say. I went to a huge high school. The Dolphins stadium, I'm originally from Miami and it's just so fun, sunny and everyone dances. Those are the only ones I ve been too but it's really all the different fans that make the stadiums beautiful and unique if you ask me. Each stadium the fans give them a completely different feel and energy.
He’s really sniffing glue when it comes to the SuperDome that wasn’t even a New Orleans saints game 😂 not bad for a 40+ year stadium. That hosted seven and soon to be eight Super Bowl
Most Stadiums are named after sponsors. A cool one though is "Ford Field". The Detroit Lions are owned by the Ford family (of Ford Motor Company), so it's kind of named after the owners as well.
Don't forget Lambeau Field is named after the creator of the Packers, Curly Lambeau.
I would say that University of Phoenix Stadium is actually much wielder in person. It looks like a giant space ship has landed and is kind of imposing at ground level.
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.
Seattle/New England/Carolina/Atlanta stadiums are shared between NFL/MLS teams
Lambeau Field is generally ranked #1. Primarily, because of its history and great sight lines.
Stadium naming rights are a HUGE deal here in the states. Especially if they aren't outright privately owned by a company who then keeps their name on it.
One note regarding the roofs, the announcer very much understated the need for them. Keep in mind that the weather these stadiums are trying to keep out is snow.
