Seemingly in line with the Roman’s idea of “give them bread and give them circus,” the National Football League sees itself playing host to some of the spectacle circuses in the world of sports today. With its 32 stadiums ranging from multi-billion dollar marvels to ones that nearly feel like historical sites, fans are guaranteed to experience a unique environment when attending any of the league’s regular or post season contests.

By virtue, some stadiums are a bit more worthy of visiting than others. So while they all have their own claim to being a desirable destination for fans alike, there’s only a handful stadiums that have managed to take create an atmosphere unlike any other.
3. SoFi Stadium
The Los Angeles Rams currently enjoy the most expensive homefield in the NFL today. With a hefty price tag of $6.75 billion, the site is nothing short of a modern-day marvel.
Capable of holding more than 70,000 onlookers, the stadium includes 260 luxury suites and also dips 100-feet under the ground, nearly twice as deep as any other venue. In addition to its 2.5-acre American Airlines Plaza, the site also features a 12-acre Lake Park.
Suffice to say, from a luxury standpoint, SoFi Stadium offers an experience that every NFL fan should seek out at least once in their life.
2. AT&T Stadium
It’s $1.7 billion construction price may not measure up to the likes of L.A., but “Jerry’s World” still manages to come out as one of the most accommodating facilities in league. It’s larger-than-life video board, which a weighs a whopping total of six tons, is spectacle in and of itself.
Capable of fitting more than 100,000 fans when accounting for standing room, a sold out Cowboys game is guaranteed to provide a rowdy atmosphere. Dressed with fine art and all of the grandeur that one would expect from Jerry Jones, AT&T stadium is certainly worthy of being the home of what has come to be known as “America’s team.”
For all of the hate that the Cowboys and their fans may get, their home still lives up to the hype 16 years later.
1. Lambeau Field
Walking into Lambeau Field is the gridiron equivalent of stepping onto hallowed grounds. It may not be fanciest structure, and it may not offer the most comfort, but its one of the longest standing football meccas in the nation.
Constructed in 1957, the home of the Green Bay Packers holds a special place in American place. Featured in countless films and TV shows, the stadium stands as the second oldest NFL stadium today.
It’s metal bleachers and frigid climate make it one of the most revered locations in all of football. Throw in the fact that it’s 81,441 seats gives it the second largest capacity of any stadium in the NFL, and it becomes clear that Lambeau Field was built to last.
If you have any reverence for the history of football, you owe it to yourself to witness one of the longest standing traditions in American sports.
