Critiquing the Best Stadiums in North America!

[@MadMike1]

Obviously number 1 has to be FedEx Field. It's massive, cheap to get into, and has a world-class plumbing system that fertilizes the field.

[@thekingbarrelmaker7642]

Not only that, but FedEx Field is so well-designed that it is easy for the fans to get onto the field.

[@davidw3845]

And has nice railings

[@Riley_Mundt]

A note about SoFi most don't know: It has no air conditioning. It relies on it's western side being completely open for ocean winds to blow in and cool the inside. In theory it should be great as it is only 4 miles from the beach, but it doesn't really work during the record high temperatures Los Angeles has been experiencing this past year. On field temperature during the Rams-Bills game on week 1 was 84 degrees, there were similar temperatures during the Super Bowl, as LA was experiencing a major heat wave with outside temperatures reaching well over 90 degrees.

[@zsu-23-4shilka2]

SoFi needs AC *_STAT_*

[@emoo.182]

Billion Dollar stadium and it doesnt even have AC smh and fck Kronke.

[@MikeyKaos716]

For those responding, or thinking, that SoFi Stadium needs AC, it's actually open air with an independent canopy. The opening that OP mentioned was supposed to be the way to help keep the stadium cooler, but without wind and with high temps, it won't have the desired temperature mitigation effects.

[@bryantsteury8910]

Crazy the architects thought thered be a routine breeze that far inland. Yes its only 4 miles but there's a shit ton of urban sprawl and its near LAX which itself would impact the breeze. They should have had at least SOME sort of air moving system even if it wasn't ac

Up to then I'd only seen memorial in Baltimore and exhibition stadium and skydome in Toronto and Oriole Park was and is just so far above them and anything I've seem since, haven't been to PNC but I hear from Orioles fans it's great too.

When it comes to Lumen Field, the same features that make it so tough for visiting teams to play there when it comes to the Seahawks also applies to the Sounders of MLS as well especially when the whole stadium is open for soccer (not just the lower bowl & bleachers) like it was for the 2019 MLS Cup & the CONCACAF Champions League Final earlier this year & the Sounders won both matches.

[@coryshannon3815]

Besides Mosaic Stadium not being completed on Google Earth, the Street View part around it can be unique. You'll see the Mosaic Stadium, and the as you go few blocks down, see old Street View images of Taylor Field. Not sure if Google has updated that since, but if so, it was pretty unique when using Street View.

Paul allen really liked audio engineering. The blazer's arena has something similar to the seahawks where it funnels noise back down to the court. It genuinely makes a massive difference. A side result is that other shows in the arena are also much louder, duh. Monster trucks are already loud as hell but in that arena, the noise is really something else. Also with how dry and hot our summers have become, I will never see rain as depressing LOL. Man I hate summer.

[@cmucodemonkey]

Allianz Field in St Paul, MN is similar in design to Estadio BBVA. I took in a soccer match their with my dad a couple of years ago. The walls are a beautiful transparent surface that can be lit up at night. The only downside I saw from my visit was it sits in the middle of a shopping district, so parking might be problematic (we took a train so I'm not sure).

[@CrackedGlowStick]

[@BeastOfMetal1989]

For those who haven't seen my comments about this when he's covered American Family Field (fka Miller Park) in the past, I'll just mention that three people died in a crane collapse during installation of one of the blades that make up the roof. It's one of the most infamous crane collapses in the modern era of construction, in no small part because a safety inspector who arrived on site at the start of the pick that brought down the crane filmed the collapse, and that footage is shown to anyone who works on a jobsite with any kind of crane work as part of their day-one orientation.

[@BroadswordMedia]

I'm actually surprised to not see Oracle Park where the San Francisco Giants play because that's on top of a lot of lists or near the top. But well even though it didn't make this top 20, I'd still say this is a pretty excellent list!

Another thing to note about Autzen is that it's design allows it to get MUCH louder than it's 54,000 person capacity really should. It's registered at 127 decibels in the past, that's louder than a jet engine. They call it The House of Loud for a reason. What's even crazier is that Husky Stadium in Washington has registered sound levels at a whopping 133 decibels meaning that if you ever attend a packed Ducks v.
