mcarey032 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I have only been to two stadiums for football other than fed ex. M&T stadium and the panthers stadium. I think that the ravens one was nicer because you felt closer to the action. The panthers stadium is OK. What do you all think is the nicest stadium to visit?

TODD Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I've been to M&T Bank in B-More which is very nice. I've also been to Pro Player in Miami... needless to say, they need an upgrade. Neither are close to Cleveland Browns Stadium, though. The place is beautiful, in a great location (on the water, walking distance to downtown, next to R&R HOF). Also, the ushers are very accomodating... they allowed my Dad and I to go right down the field before the game unlike FedEx... one of the coolest sports experiences of my life.

Rypien 91 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I have been to 3, Raymond James in Tampa, Bank of America in Charlotte and Invesco in Denver. For me, Invesco was the nicest. Clean, lit up and all the ushers and workers were very friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridironmike Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I've only been to RFK, FedEx, and Bank of America (Charlotte). As much as I love the Redskins, B of A is a little nicer except for the location of the video screens and the lack of stadium parking. The panther statues are awesome. The concourses are wide and they give you a free program when you enter. Beer is $5 compared to $7 at FedEx. A lower level ticket (at least where I sat) was $59 compared to $79 at FedEx. My guess is the cheaper prices are in direct relation to Carolina fans having to pay for a PSL and FedEx fans do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DButz65 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Although its no longer there... The only one i've been to is.. Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, have seen a football game there as well as a few baseball games (NLCS vs Atlanta in 91 and 92) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 FedEX - awful in pretty much every way. It's just way too big and too hard to get to. And just looks cheaply made inside. It's a sterile, modern stadium without the modern amentities. Old Three Rivers...It was what it was. A multi-purpose cookie-cutter. Heinz Field...very plush...very cold...better parking than 3 Rivers. The view over the river is great, but one considered what it would be like in December. Gosh, it's cold. The Linc. About the same as Heinz Field. Maybe a little plusher. Great parking. Kinda far from anything though. Whatever Baltimore is called. I was in a luxury box. It....was....awesome. Good parking. Near good stuff. Old Riverfront...same as Three Rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 The club level at the Linc kicks butt. I'll be there on New Years Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDSKNfaithfull Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Raymond James is the nicest stadium I have been to. My only knock is the seats are not on top of the field. M&T is very nice as well Both better than Fed Ex except for the colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 To paraphrase 980's Bram Weinstein - Arrowhead is one of those stadiums that everyone should have a chance to see a game in once in their lifetime. It's like Wrigley Field. They should never tear it down. He was right. Arrowhead is a heck of a place to see a game. Raymond James in Tampa was the best away stadium I've been to. It's fairly new, had the best catering out of the five I've been to (The Meadowlands, Sun Devil, & whatever they call that dome in St. Louis) & has a really kickass pirate ship/tourist attaction in the endzone. But I'd rather watch a game at Arrowhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phixius Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 The only away stadium I've been to is M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. I seen Lincoln Financial Field(Eagles) and Giants Stadium(Giants/Jets) in person but never went inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 been to Baltimore and Buffalo... Buffalo is a ****hole... M&T Bank Stadium, however, was beautiful. But nothing compares to FedEx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans are great and the smell of the parking lot with all of the CHARCOAL grills going is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNut73 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 For away stadiums, I've been to The Vet (by far the worst), the Georgia Dome, the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis (or whatever it was called back in 2001), Giants Stadium, Shea Stadium when the Jets played there and to Foxboro Stadium. They all sucked if you ask me...probably the best one out of the group would be Giants Stadium, but that ain't saying much. I'd like to see games at Mile High, Arrowhead and Lambeau before I die...

SkinsBry Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Astrodome - Very outdated. It had obstructed view seats before FedEx did. Alamodome - It could house a team full time. Good view of the field, needs better/more concession stands. Buffalo - It had aluminum bleacher seats like a high school would. M & T - Very decent stadium. FedEx - There's no place like home.

SkinsNut73 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Buffalo - It had aluminum bleacher seats like a high school would. . I bet that's a wonderful feature on a cold, wintery day :laugh: Foxboro Stadium had them too. I sat on them in a December game between the Pat and Vikings....good night...my nuts were frozen to the bleachers by the time the game ended.

It was a fairly cold day, but the seating is so tight that I couldn't even sit back, I had to lean forward the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpy007 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Living in Seattle I have been to Qwest Field (Seahawks), Safeco Field (Mariners), The old King Dome, and I flew to Denver to see the Redskins play Denver at Invesco Field earlier this year. Qwest Field - Not bad Safeco Field - AWESOME!!! King Dome - It got loud because it was a dome, but it sucked @$$! Invesco Field - Not bad. However the weather was miserable that day so I did not really think about if it was a nice stadium or not. I was freezing my butt off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 The Titans have a very nice stadium. Right on the river in downtown Nashville. Very clean, good sight lines. Good fans, too. ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridironmike Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I forgot to mention that Bank of America (formerly Ericcson) seems to have more room between the rows, but I guess they aren't squeezing 90,000 plus seats in there. Every seat has a cupholder...a very nice option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misery Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I have never been to Fed Ex - sob - yet, I will make the trip one day. Have been to: Hubert H. Humpfrey - not spelt right but oh well - pretty good, very loud Lambeau - for a cold MNF game - it was unbelieveable - what an atmosphere and feel, I recommend people make the trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
