An FYI: Houston is not a dry hot weather city but rather one of the most oppressive hot humid places in the US

[@33RoyCorpPor]

yeah Houston's a swamp.

[@Newbobdole]

Yes, it's right on the Gulf of Mexico, so the humidity is a lot closer to Atlantic City NJ than high desert TX lol

[@coyotelong4349]

Exactly. All of Texas is oppressively hot, but it gets more humid the further East/South in the state you go

[@fpl_mccolby]

As a friend of mine once said, living in Houston is like living inside a gigantic person's mouth.

[@MadKilroy]

I'm laughing at the guy thinking Texas is a "hot, dry" place.

[@conman1495]

I'm a moderator for Tom's channel. He is one of the hardest-working KZbinrs out there as he has put out at least one video every single day of the week for the past 5 years and then he'll stream multiple games a week as well. He had nearly 350 streams just last year. A fun reaction series would be watching his entire 30 in 30 series of videos where he went to all 30 NFL stadiums in 30 days back in June, which is why he is part of this video. He raised over $500,000 for St. Judy's Children's Hospital. Plus, each video would be a great way to see and learn more about each team, their fanbases, and their stadiums.

[@DNReacts]

Thank you! Really appreciate this comment, a lot of viewers of our channel have mentioned Tom so we thought we would check him out. That’s an incredible achievement to raise that much for charity, he’s clearly a very hard working guy! Sounds like a series well worth checking out! We release 8 videos a week over 6 days and have just entered our 8th month! Once again, thank you for the comment 🙏🏼

[@fitzgeraldlansanah5306]

​@DNReacts and he rarely takes days off and or takes vacation he usually streams 5 nfl games a week depending on who is playing

[@dalehammers4425]

Tom is truly incredible, and I think all the teams that denied him access missed out on a massive PR chance.

[@conman1495]

@dalehammers4425 oh definitely. But they also didn't really know who he was. It's not it was Mr. Beast doing this. He doesn't even have 500K subscribers so teams aren't gonna really notice him. But once it got going and there were news articles about him and what he was doing, teams couldn't ignore him.

I was a firefighter that responded to Katrina in 05. The story about the Superdome is something you guys should check out. It wasn't really the bastion of safety it was touted as being. My main memory of it was racing rental cars on the shutdown freeways around it with the roof covering flapping on the breeze.

[@AliAkbar-gq6ed]

Agree! Great story for them to look into

[@nsnick199]

Replacing NFL stadiums so often isn't about weather, it's about money. Teams can extort cities into building more lavish stadiums because they can threaten to leave if one isn't built, or move to a city that will promise millions in public money for a stadium. Meanwhile, colleges just renovate their stadiums that were built in the 20s and 30s, and they're fine.

[@franklinterrell9392]

@nsnick199 Colleges can get away with renovating stadiums for a few reasons in my opinion. First and foremost, no one is asking for a new stadium. Second, there's usually more history and tradition. Finally, it's not like OSU can threaten to leave Columbus if a new stadium isn't built.

[@ronin7997]

Precisely why St. Louis and San Diego no longer have NFL franchises. Neither city wanted to build stadiums on their dime or on the team owners terms. Funny enough, San Diego ended up demolishing Qualcomm/Jack Murphy stadium to build Snapdragon Stadium for the SDSU Aztecs a few years later after the Chargers left.

[@charlesbrown4483]

Call it whatever you want, that's just common sense business. They bring a shit load of people into the cities, who spend a lot of money. Don't wanna help pay to renovate? We'll go somewhere where they're willing to pitch in. If the team paid the entire bill and subsequently had to pay their team/staff less, you all would then cry about that. What's your solution?

[@darrinlindsey]

Soldier Field is one of the oldest stadiums in the NFL. Like it said, they attempted to remodel it. I'm totally honest when I say, from the outside, it looks like they dropped a giant flying saucer on top of it.

[@MFBloosh]

Meanwhile we remodeled Wrigley and it's amazing 😂

[@rallycapandstanding]

The spaceship 😂

[@dancolonna6590]

It lost its historical designation because of the renovation lmao. They ruined it

[@Joe-qn3ou]

For a memorial stadium for soldiers, it doesn’t memorialize soldiers very well

[@ryanjustice2670]

​@@dancolonna6590Which one? If you're talking about Wrigley then I 100% agree. Then again, I could say the same about Soldier Field. But I don't think it ever had an historical designation.😕

[@lilnerdboy69]

So sad he didn't get to go into the Vikings stadium. It's beautiful inside. The huge glass wall lets you see some of the city skyline and lets in natural light. There's a giant horn that some famous person or former Viking blows before every game. The pregame Skol chant that follows has to be one of the most fun pregame experiences out there. They make it "snow" in the stadium with fake snow during the game (idk what it was). It's pretty new, so everything is modern, but you can feel the Vikings energy in it. There's also the front of a Viking ship outside you can stand in and take pictures in and it kinda looks like the stadium is the ship.

The Chiefs fan base covers an enormous geographical area. Essentially Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and parts of Arkansas and Oklahoma. You have to drive to get to the games, but Kansas City has arguably the best tailgating in the NFL that goes along with KC barbecue.

[@MJ19438]

Lemme guess....Chiefs fan? 🤣 How many times has your team's fans taken over an opposing stadium and made it pretty much a home game for the Chiefs? Eagles fans do it at least once a season, even across the country. We'd do it more but some cities know we'll take over and they make it a point not to sell too many tix to us. THAT'S covering an enormous geographic area, my friend

[@loganleroy8622]

@@MJ19438 I knew educational standards in SE Pennsylvania were bad, but apparently common decency is also avoided. You're talking about traveling across the country to support your team, which is not the same as the geographic area that supports the Eagles, which is rather small. And yet for all that traveling, you still don't have the loudest fanbase. Instead, you'll have to settle for having a fanbase with the loudest mouths. What a shame you lot are.

[@richardnoggin3884]

total fans is not the same as the location of the fan base....ALSO every game for chargers and raiders is almost a home game for any opponent, which we play 2 times per year. however, I don't count that since its too easy. @@MJ19438

[@chrishirthe4162]

I love Lambeau. This has to be the only list where it's ranked outside of the top 5. It's easily the most historic, and it boasts one of the games greatest gameday atmospheres, both pre, during, and post game.

[@jmweed1861]

Lambeau Field and the game experience at a Packers Game is as close as you can get to the College Level Atmosphere. And the shops, restaurants and taverns inside are unbelievable. Not even mentioning The Packer Hall of Fame...which there is nothing like it in the NFL...can I say Currly Lambeau, Vice Lombardi, Don Hudson, Paul Horning, Reggie White, Brett Farve, Bart Starr, Ray Nitchky, Jim Taylor, ........and next to the stadium is "Title Town"...

[@Tom-ut6ky]

I'm glad you love the Hemorrhoid Hotel. Backless 1950s steel benches in open air 10 to 0 degree wind might be your love, but then you must be a Packer fan. BTW, "historic" is a euphemism for "OLD." Too bad GB is too small to actually build a modern stadium.

[@chrishirthe4162]

@@Tom-ut6ky hemorrhoid hotel is a new one to me lmao. Personally, I wouldn’t change a thing. But if they did, public funding would be approved in a heartbeat. Put it this way, Brown County has a .5% sales tax tacked on to the states 5% sales tax. In 2022, they earned 33 million dollars from that extra tax. If they were to increase that extra tax rate to 2%, they would raise approximately 1.65 billion dollars over 10 years, which would be more than enough to pay for a stadium. I’d be willing to bet that the state of Wisconsin, or surrounding counties at the minimum, would also provide funding by way of a sales tax increase. The team being publicly owned means that state and local governments will do whatever possible to ensure the Packers stay in Green Bay. Even though Lambeau has a Wriggly or Fenway like charm, I’m sure there’ll come a day when serious discussions about a new stadium come about. Til then, Lambeau will continue to be the Mecca for NFL football.

[@JustCallMe_Tae]

Also Grossi was throwing shade at Soilder Field mainly because he's a Packers fan. Bears and Packers are sworn NFC north rivals. We don't get alone with them lol. #GoPackGo

[@HarveyWallbangers2]

Go Pack Go!

[@HarveyWallbangers2]

Lambeau at #12 is a travesty. Those bleacher seats mean there isn’t a bad seat in the house. The fans are right on top of the field.

[@brandito_]

On your discussion about how many of the stadiums look like they are only convenient to get to by car: that's how it is almost everywhere in America. We're very car-centric, and the vast majority of people will arrive to an NFL game by car. If you live close enough to the stadium in the city you may take some sort of public transportation to get there, but most people will be driving in from suburbs and places further outside the city. And in some cases, notably Buffalo and Green Bay, there is no public transportation at all around those stadiums

[@jeremybooth6720]

The Arizona stadium grass is actually hovered in, on a cushion of air. The grass dies inside and turns yellow rapidly because of the stadium roof blocking the sun. The turf is kept outside for care, maintenance and sun, then pushed inside through a door in the side of the stadium on game day.

[@baileyjones1854]

That stadium is a seattle curse

[@areguapiri]

People have no idea of how awesome and high-tech ALL of the NFL stadiums are if you actually go to them. Even the #27 ranked Jacksonville Jaguars stadium (with the swimming pools) has amazing facilities throughout the stadium. All of the stadiums have really nice restaurant areas, luxury seating areas, and other amenities that make the entire gameday experience great. ...Yet, Americans are disturbingly never satisfied and must rebuild everything new after only a few years. ...The young guy visiting the stadiums had the speaking skills of a 15 year old American teenager--- saying "like" at least 500 times.

[@deonlepharaoh]

32:57 that was definitely the lions facility in that shot...you can briefly see the lions logo on the floor just before the cut to the next shot

[@zacharyliles8657]

Love that Ford Field got some well-deserved credit in this one! It really is an underappreciated stadium and if the Lions really do finally have a good season this year, it's going to be one of the best environments in the NFL

I adore Pittsburgh's two major stadium's. I've been lucky enough to see many Steelers and Pirates games regularly through the years. Being born and raised in England myself, Pittsburgh has a very industrial charm to it but the skyline is gorgeous at night and both stadiums showcase it. I'm showing my age (and I'm sure I'm in the minority as well) but I really, REALLY miss Three Rivers Stadium too. I just love the city of Pittsburgh.

[@tracyfrazier7440]

Tom Grossi just started his NFL division predictions. He starts with the NFC North. It is a quick review and will familiarize you with some players. Tom is not from Green Bay. Green Bay defeated his father’s favorite team, the Cowboys (he lives in NY/NJ), when he was young, so Tom became a Green Bay fan.

[@xXSoren7]

Chiefs parking lots is because the Royals (baseball) stadium literally next to it and they have occasionally had games at same/similar times. Many people take busses/shuttles but the primary way to go is by car because the Chiefs represent an extremely large area in the MidWest. Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri are just the closest Chiefs "home" areas. People drive 3 hours to get to home games on occasion.

[@loganleroy8622]

As someone that has to drive over 3 hours to watch the Chiefs play, it’s not that bad. But yeah, Chiefs Kingdom covers a huge geographic area. The next closest NFL teams would be 6 hours away by car.

I’ve met a ton of people from Iowa at Arrowhead as well. It’s criminal to not have Arrowhead and Lambeau in the top 10!

[@AliAkbar-gq6ed]

If I can give you guys a little information on the bills stadium, I’m a local born and raised and try to get to about 4 games a season here in my adulthood. A lot of the parking for the stadium, is where they are building the new stadium. And like Tom said, they are going to have the same issue when they demo the old stadium. Parking is absolutely insane at a bills game for multiple reasons. For one, everyone tailgates. It’s not just a football game it’s a full fledged party. The locals use their lawns and charge for parking. The other issue is that it’s in the suburbs. In theory more room for parking but the issue is everyone has to drive there! If it was in the inner city or downtown there would be less room for parking lots, but a lot more options for public transportation and carpooling and what not. That being said I am happy the bills didn’t get moved to Toronto and am excited for the new building! It is modeled roughly after the Tottenham hotspurs stadium but bigger. ⭕️ Also side note: LA and NY teams play in the same stadium, and there is a rivalry because it’s a “Derby“ match as you guys would call it, but they are in different conferences so the rivalry’s aren’t that strong because they don’t play each other often and don’t play each other in the playoffs (except possibly a superbowl but I don’t think that has ever happened)

[@threeminuteshate]

Pittsburg-related story: So I live in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. This used to be the town where many, many pro baseball teams used to go for their spring training before the start of the season in the early 1900s. The local high school team used to be the Cardinals. But Pittsburgh Pirate legend Honus Wagner would coach the team while here. When he returned to Pittsburgh he had a bunch of Pirate sports gear sent to equip the teams. The school eventually changed their nickname to the Trojans but the colors have ever since been black and gold.

[@ddcoddjob11]

Resident of Indianapolis here! Our city roads are modeled on a grid/spiderweb format. Mostly every road goes east/west or north/south With diagonal roads leading from the circle center and outward (ex: Southeastern, Fall Creek, Lafayette, or Kentucky Ave) Apparently Washington DC was supposed to follow this model initially... but failed. However, Lucas Oil faces true north/south.

[@thequaker1512]

the thing he didnt say about arrowhead is the party that starts at 8 am when they open the gates people are already tailgating waiting to get in to tailgate lmao its a full part every weekend

[@tarik158]

They left out what I think is the one the best parts about MBS: You may have noticed a distinct lack of massive car parks surrounding it. That’s because there is a subway that runs directly underneath serviced by the Green and Blue lines of MARTA and is just one stop away from the main hub for the city. I have never once driven to a game there or the Georgia Dome which sat basically at the same spot before it.

[@seahawksfan4204]

They put lumen field way too low imo

[@metfish]

Giants and Jets have shared a stadium since they moved to New Jersey decades ago. The Giants had a stadium built there, in the Meadowlands of Jersey, in 1976-aptly named “Giants Stadium.” The Jets stayed in New York and played at Shea Stadium, home of the NY Mets at the time. It was fun watching them there, but it was not a football stadium. In 1988 they also opted to move to NJ. They would also use Giants stadium. Both teams stayed there until MetLife opened in 2010. MetLife was built in a parking lot adjacent to old Giants stadium, which was demolished a few years later. To make things more confusing is that each team retained their “NY” titles even though they played across the River in NJ. Really enjoying this channel. If you guys are ever in Dallas I’ll take you to a Cowboys game (as long as you root against them!).

It’s a shame the Panthers stadium breakdown wasn’t longer :/ Fyi, there was serious movement/action being taken about year ago for a new indoor/outdoor stadium to be built for the team, but the owner butted heads with government officials and the project got canned. Hopefully they try again soon to get it built! (I imagine that if Young does well for us over the next couple of years, there will be enough momentum/hype surrounding the team to get the project through to the finish line)

[@cypher515]

Gonna admit that when I visited Highmark we parked a solid mile away from the stadium. We could not get ANY closer, I kid you not. I think I heard in the comments to the original video that they're going to bus people in from parking lots further away to handle the problem.

[@ncg195]

Nick, you were spot on with your guess as to why Arizona wheels their field in and out of the stadium. It is a permanent dome, but they're able to use natural grass indoors by caring for the grass outside during the week and bringing it inside on game day.

[@williamdemerchant7295]

A similar system is used in Las Vegas.

[@b1galbos89]

Yea, Arizona does an awesome job with how they care for their field at State Farm Stadium. Despite the fact that they were criticized for the field they used for Super Bowl 57 in their stadium earlier this year, mainly due to them overwatering the field, causing it to be slippery at certain spots, and that it wasn't sanded enough.

[@cooperhamilton8972]

As someone who did marching band on the field at Lucas Oil (the colts stadium) I can say it is crazy nice inside. And when you stand on that field and listen to a crowd it’s so loud you can’t hear anything else. Crazy good environment

[@EmmaJaworski]

What you have to consider is that here in the US, very few places have public transportation at all, let alone an effective transit system. So except for cities like New York, Chicago, LA, etc. people have really no choice but to drive places. And places arent walkable either. So even if a smaller city may have a bus system, you'd have to walk like 45 minutes from your house just to get to the bus station to then ride for 10 minutes to get to the grocery store or something, when you could just drive the 15 minutes and be there already. So almost all architecture is designed for cars, rather than people. I wish we had more pedestrian and public transit oriented architecture. Also, when you mentioned "but new york had a really good subway system though so i wonder why youd have to drive." Thats because the New York Giants/Jets stadium is actually in New Jersey, not New York

[@traeix]

There's no way they put Lumen Field at #19, should definitely be top 10

It funny you thought that Ford Field was the baseball stadium because when the Raiders still played in Oakland they used to share a stadium with Athletics and the foot ball field sometimes had parts of the baseball diamond on it

I’ve only ever seen a game at Denver’s stadium and Kansas City’s. Both of them, I thought were really nice places to see the games. My only note about Denver is that the PA announcer is frequently REALLY tough to understand. It’s like listening to Charlie Brown’s teacher in there. Every time I go to a game there, people around me are constantly asking each other if anyone understood what just came over the loudspeaker. Usually, none of us have any idea:

[@gamemasterbob9]

There is public transport to a lot of these stadiums, but in the US there is much more reliance on personal vehicles. There is a large portion of fans who will attend by car. Not sure about the actual ratio, and im sure it depends on the stadium. For my home stadium of Metlife in NJ, that massive parking lot will get pretty crowded by gametime

[@rykerising1409]

The Jets and Giants have played in the same stadium for decades. LA Rams and LA Chargers share a stadium that was built a few years ago. This is why there are 30 stadiums even though there are 32 teams.

I went to Sofi twice. First Rams football game ever played in the stadium then I went to Rams vs 49ers semi final game and it is amazing. It’s too young to have its own traditions at the moment but the inside is like 10k then when you leave the stadium normal life is quite dull. I’ve spoke to some people who have seen concerts there and they said it was top notch for those events as well. Then my brother ended up going to the Rams vs Bangles SuperBowl and he could not even explain the atmosphere and just the insanity of a spectacle there at Sofi. It really is amazing. I live about 30 mins from sofi but Hopefully I can also get a chance to check out the Raiders new stadium in Vegas the next time I drive over there. About 4 hrs drive.

[@cardboardbelt]

I have only ever been to a Panthers game so I don't really think about the fan experience on-site when thinking about NFL stadiums. Instead my mind goes to how fun a stadium is to see games in on TV and a ranking that way would seriously shake up the list. Soldier Field, for example, is one that I really love watching on TV. It's an older, smaller stadium, so the fans are right on top of the action and the fact that it's open air in a cold weather city makes it LOOK LIKE FOOTBALL to me. My bias when seeing games on TV will always be in favor of stadiums with no roof, a grass field, and preferably in a cold weather location. Football players should get dirty when they play and football teams should be well-rounded, with more than one way to win a game, making them weather-proof. If a team's fans are whining that they would have won if the weather was better or if the field was in better shape, that just means their team isn't good enough in enough ways. When the field is muddy or the wind is blowing hard your play calling has to change and your team has to be well-coached enough to pull off a different game plan. Watch some old games from the '70s/'80s and you will see 2 things: 1) several absolute cookie-cutter stadiums with terrible looking astroturf 2) some wonderful, soul-sustaining places with the crowd breathing down the necks of the teams and little to nothing in the way of corporate boxes/signage. Places like RFK in Washington D.C. and Cleveland Municipal Stadium weren't fancy, but they had ALL of the flavor of traditional football.

Dude.... Soldier Field is awesome! It's directly on the lake and next to the Field Museum and Shedd Aquarium. He has to just hate the Bears. That was stupid lol. It's gorgeous outside and views of the skyline are visible from inside stadium.

[@Ordzo88]

And sorry boys. Gotta end the video after that on principle 😄 You still get the like tho 👍

[@hardhatlunchpal]

One thing he got right though is there is no parking

[@Ordzo88]

@hardhatlunchpal yeah I just do public transit and take a small stroll w/ the fans. Even if I travel from burbs. It's great. Anyway, we'll be in a new stadium soon regardless lol. Whether it's Arlington Heights or Chicago

[@cardboardbelt]

@@Ordzo88 This is what I was thinking. I used to live in Chicago back in the mid '90s and if I had gone to a game at Soldier field I would have just taken the train down and walked in. I hate trying to get in and out of stadiums in a car anyway. Even in the best of places it's a hassle.

[@tukkertje9365]

32:45 lol yeah that's definitely a clip from Ford Field, you can even see the giant Lions logo on the floor. Good catch lol

[@txxol2580]

love the vids keep it up

[@DNReacts]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@Nobody-xe9fc]

31:52 BIG BRICK BARN! And yeah, that is a legit brick facade on the outside!

[@emalynknapik1495]

Since you were talking about parking at the Bills stadium: It's located in a suburb, so there are a lot of houses nearby. The people who live close enough use their front yards as parking lots. It's cheaper than the cost of parking at the stadium and the prices get lower the further you are from the stadium.

[@Wheelio]

Interesting video!

[@christophermckinney3924]

Arizona grows natural grass on a platform outside and wheels the field inside on tracks to protect fans from the intense heat of the Arizona desert. Las Vegas does the same thing.

[@omglowlz5417]

"That looks like a baseball stadium." lol loved that part

[@CrackheadYoda]

Everything in America is centered around the car. Most major sports venues are only accessible by car. There are exceptions to those venues located downtown in major cities. If you go anywhere outside of the big city centers, public transportation is god awful in the US.

[@standingthegaff]

It's ridiculous how short a timespan modern stadiums have, and how much they cost the public despite the enormous profits of the teams. If you don't cough, they move on ya. What a scam.

[@vordt4139]

The Bears are the rivals of the Packers (Tom's favorite team) so yeah there is a little animosity lol Edit: The Jets and Giants have used the same stadium for years (The Jets at the time couldn't close on a deal for their own stadium) they are also not rivals in the NFL so there is no rivalry between them.

[@TroySteele17]

The guy definitely did the Carolina Panthers Bank of America stadium wrong.. It’s a older stadium but it’s beautiful, especially at night. Charlotte FC also plays there.

[@tejida815]

I’m a little disappointed that the guy didn’t visit DURING football season. I think he really likes the word like.

[@jwestphal1978]

The Bills have parking under control. I park at a church for $20 and it's well worth it to walk the half a block to the stadium. Yes, it's going to put a strain on things, but there are multiple places where people park now, and have room for more! The new stadium will still be open air, like a real stadium should be, but state of the art! The designers of the Bills new stadium studied Tottenham's grounds! It will be phenomenal once built!

[@chard2534]

Ask fans that went to the college national championship game how they liked Sofi stadium😂. Since it rarely rains in L.A., they didn’t take wet floors into consideration. The rain blew in during the national championship game and whatever material they used made the floors slippery af. Hundreds of fans were injured from slip and fall accidents.

[@fitzgeraldlansanah5306]

Two of my favorite KZbinr grossi and prena do a football show together every Monday Wednesday and Friday morning at 11am and yinzer is nickname for urinating tree

[@jaybo4999]

For Arizona, it is a real grass turf. the field is on a roller system so it can move outdoors for watering and sun to grow.

[@answeris4217]

There's no real rivals in teams that share stadiums...because they only meet every 4 years with a slight possibility for a 2nd game is they share the same rank after 2 years. The NFL schedule is a set rotation. Both NY teams are meeting this year... I guess there's a rivalry between fans. I don't know if it's intense

[@SP.007]

20 year old stadiums are considered old in the USA

[@williamdemerchant7295]

Kind of a waste, it seems.

[@JoeyVatavuk]

lol yinzers understand that PNC Park is the pride of pittsburgh, don’t worry. but Acrisure packed in January is different

[@supersasukemaniac]

New York Giants and Jets share MetLife Stadium, and LA Chargers and Rams share SoFi Stadium.

[@AliAkbar-gq6ed]

Something cool they don’t mention in the video is the cowboys stadium has massive retractable shutter’s built specifically for the sun to get in the enemy QBs eyes. The cowboys usually play at 4 o’clock so If the enemy team is facing west in the second half they will open them to blind the QB on purpose. I don’t like the cowboys but pretty neat

[@SGlitz]

State Farm. Field is on tracks so. "Wheeled" in by motors. It holds things like Home &Garden shows and concerts but the field is outside...

[@b1galbos89]

As a Pats fan, I'm not surprised Gillette Stadium is in the middle. It's for sure, a huge upgrade over the dump that was the old Foxboro Stadium that preceded it. It's a cool place to see a game, and as Tom alluded to, they have been renovating the past couple years, with the new 220 foot lighthouse that is part of the entrance in the north endzone, where you can see the Boston and Providence skylines from the observation deck. And also the huge curved videoboard, that will be the largest in the U.S. But yea, it's a stadium that has an outdoor mall surrounding it. Lots of awesome places to eat, a bowling alley, a theatre, and the Patriots Hall of Fame building. It's pretty much DisneyWorld for not only Pats fans, but for all NFL fans.

[@twhit4gator629]

Some colleges also have an enclosed stadium. Like where my Florida gators play it is pretty vertical. But one other thing about it is it's actually built in a sinkhole. Generates crazy echo on the field and gets loud. Holds 88k+

[@Scholarstorm]

You have to drive everywhere in America. The exceptions could be counted on your fingers. Metlife is outside of NY subway

[@christophermckinney3924]

When teams share stadiums it simply creates a scheduling issue. Unless they play each other thay can't both play on the home field at the same time. One could play an early game at 1 pm and the other at 7 pm but turning over the field logos and decorations is an issue. Schedulers try to schedule them for home and away opposite each other or for Sunday Monday and Thursday night games.

[@qt14.]

FYI it said 30 stadiums because there is two stadiums that share teams, sofi, and metslife

[@DNReacts]

Thank you 🙏

[@SeanP7195]

Lucas oil stadium wanted to do something like Ford Field and achieved that. I have them close in rankings. They were both Midwest cities who wanted to take a tired area of downtown and revitalize it. Both were successful. There was a push in the early 2000s to have stadiums downtown. Not everyone could do this though.

[@vortexathletic]

I like how MetLife is 24, and it was just picked to host the World Cup Final 😂

[@DNReacts]

That’s a really good point! I’d forgotten about this 😂

[@redpillfreedom6692]

Now that we're around the corner from the next NFL season, I recommend watching Urinating Tree's "This Week in Sportsball" which he does every week of the NFL season

[@cygnusx-3217]

3:01 Soldier Field is the oldest stadium in the NFL. It opened in 1924. This video is incorrectly listing 2003 because that's when it was "renovated." There's currently an enormous fight between the city and Bears ownership about relocating. Nothing ever gets done easily here. *Update:* Other commenters are mentioning that Grossi is a Packers fan. That explains why he incorrectly listed 2003 as its opening date. The Packers like to claim having the oldest stadium, but this is a lie, it's Soldier Field. That also explains why he only showed the crappy overhead shot, not the skyline view. The Bears and Packers are the oldest rivalry in the NFL. We hate each other.

[@ballzorusrex3701]

The Bears still suck.

[@cygnusx-3217]

@@ballzorusrex3701 You need to begin preparing for decades of irrelevance. I'm sure there are lot of other fun things to do in Green Bay on Sundays in December.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

This was a Five Points video, not Tom Grossi. Those shots were because he didn’t get to visit the stadium when he went on his 30 for 30 tour.

[@jwestphal1978]

SoFi is #1 because it's the newest! I don't think that's how I would rank them but it's kind of interesting to watch. Wish he actually went into each stadium

[@jkuzem96]

Highmore stadium currently has a lot of parking, but they're building the new stadium on top of what was 2 parking lots. So that's cutting the parking capacity quite a bit, until they can get new parking lots set up once the old stadium goes bye bye.

[@rickyism1576]

Lots of teams share Stadiums and Arenas in the US. Crypto arena in LA hosts the Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Sparks. And Sofi hosts the Rams and Chargers. They have to have an army of employees.

[@the_ghostdragon]

Me: Okay, I know FedEx Field is... horrible. But, there has to be at least one, maybe two stadiums that might somehow be worse than ours. "No surprise this turd is ranked #30." Me: ...😐*stares into the insensate abyss of our futility as it stares back at me--it's gaze peering into my fan depleted soul* Nope. Not at all surprised about this turd. 😒 "Of course, we know about the sewage, the overflowing toilets, the collapsing rail, the reduced seating capacity, and the awful turf which grinds through more limbs than a slaughterhouse in the fall." Me: Then there's the terrible location where there's nothing else in the area, overpriced regular and season tickets, price-gouged beer (sometimes stale)/water/food (sometimes barely edible even with liberal amounts of condiments), the parking lot nightmare of arriving and leaving the stadium... and much more. 😒 I'm hoping the new ownership can do something to improve the place and experience before a new stadium deal can be worked out.

[@threeminuteshate]

So I’m an Arsenal supporter (Stan Kroenke owns both the Rams and Arsenal) and they played Barca in a preseason friendly last month. Literally every Arsenal podcaster who went to the match was blown away by SoFi. Edit now that I hear you mention Stan: we like him quite a bit more in the past two seasons.

[@pfury67]

Soldier Field only looks good from the lakefront. It is very small for NFL standards, the location is terrible, the parking is terrible, and you are crushed in shoulder to shoulder when walking around. If they end up in Arlington (suburbs of Chicago), it will be a fantastic venue. There's nothing you can do with the current location on the lakefront.

[@fluffly3606]

Re: giant parking lots -- City planners in the US have been taking money from car manufacturers pretty much since the car was invented so now it's practically impossible to get anywhere without a car outside of a select few urban areas. I'm a little surprised you don't know this, it's part of the Murican stereotype

[@aswaswasw2323]

I enjoy the panther stadium. I'm a fan and I live in clt. They just added new vip suite style seats to the front row in a few places. Very nice! Also added a field bar behind the end zone as well.

[@DNReacts]

Thanks for the info, appreciate the comment, sounds a great stadium

[@thseed7]

I'm a Chiefs fan who has lived in Denver since 2012. I've been to every Broncos vs Chiefs game but 2 in that span. Mile High is just okay. It falls into that "too sterile" category as well. Arrowhead is Incredible. It's older, not as fancy as many stadiums, but there is no place better to enjoy a game. The game day atmosphere is truly special and it is so loud that the stadium shakes. That said, Denver has some of the best fans I've ever experienced watching a game with. Gillette, Lucas Oil (despite them originally placing seats behind massive concrete pillars) and the Super Dome are really fun too. The old St. Louis Rams Stadium was great.
