BBTV Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Veteran's StadiumLincoln Financial Field (I work there as an usher)Three Rivers StadiumHeinz FieldM&T Bank Stadium (or whatever the Ravens is called now)New Soldier FieldI've driven past the MeadowlandsI was really disappointed with Heinz Field. It just seems so cheap. I don't like how there is only one big video board, and all the PA speakers are only on the one end. Also, it just seems like you're so far away from the field as compared to equivalent seats in other newer stadiums. Also, troughs to piss in? Seriously? Even the concourse areas just seemed tacky - especially the "great hall". It just seems like the Walmart* of new stadiums.Going to the Pitt vs. Cincinnati game in a couple of weeks... so it will get at least one more chance to win me over.

Out of the current 31, here is where I have not been:Cowboys StadiumBank of America StadiumGillette StadiumLambeau FieldI really liked Quest Field for some reason. Thought that Reliant was a disappointment as I went to both of them in the same year. Every time I think though, I think Superdome. Oakland may still have them too outside of Mt Davis.EDIT: Sorry, tours never count unless it is a "concert tour". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmaker17 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 In no particular order:Cowboys Stadium (3 times so far)Texas Stadium (too many to count...at least 100)Georgia Dome (twice)Meadowlands (3 times)Raymond James Stadium (Bucs) (once)Reliant Stadium (twice)I've seen Soldier field several times, and I drive by the Linc in Philly around four times a year, but I've never entered either.

TFoA Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Been to the Superdome at least 3 times, and the Georgia Dome obviously...and the Superdome is way better. That place is amazing when the Saints are winning. The Georgia Dome was built in 1992 and it already feels dated. It was built in that quick era between the cookie-cutter age and this new age of stadiums and you can tell. IMO, take the roof off of the Dome and it's Giants Stadium-lite. So yeah, might sound like sacrilege as a Falcons fan to say this, but the Superdome is way nicer, and I can imagine that it's even better after the post-Katrina renovations.

Viper Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 In chronological order:1) Metropolitan Stadium (albeit only for Twins games)2) The Metrodome (mostly for Twins games but also a handful of Vikings games, most recently Xmas Eve '04 vs. the Packers; also attended a Rolling Stones concert, a T'Wolves game in their inaugural season, and a couple of Prep Bowls there)3) RCA Dome (In 2002 I attended Star Wars Celebration II at the Indiana Convention Center which was part of the same complex, and had a set of doors that opened right onto the stadium floor. The doors were locked, but still offered a full view of the stadium interior.)4) Lambeau Field (Packers playoff game vs. the Vikings in '05)Needless to say, the "winner" among these four is Lambeau Field, though I'd imagine Lucas Oil Stadium (which replaced the RCA Dome) might give it a run for its money at least, as might a new Vikings stadium if it ever gets built (and I'm not exactly holding my breath on that).

Lee. Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Been around/Drove past:Qwest FieldBusch IIArrowhead StadiumTexas StadiumFulton County StadiumSuperdomeBeen inside:Astrodome- took the tour a couple of times. The scoreboard was pretty neat back in the dayHumperdome- Twice; once for the Rolling Stones, once for a KC-Twins gameOld Tampa Stadium (sombrero)- Bucs v. Lions. Second row from the top, in the endzone. Not the greatest NFL experience.Orange Bowl- this one was cool. 1976, we're on vacation, and my dad takes us here because they used to park the Goodyear blimp nearby. It's not around, so my dad heads over to the Orange Bowl to show us where the Dolphins play (I was a huge Dolphins fan as a kid, for the cool aqua jerseys, and for some reason I thought Bob Griese was the coolest guy evar). We park in the lot, and we go walk around the stadium, and there's an open gate near the endzone. We go take a peek inside, and there's the Dolphins just finishing up a practice; we watch for a few minutes, and a security guard comes up to shoo us away. My dad says, "watch this," and goes and talks to the guy. They sit around for a few minutes, and my dad comes back and doesn't do much. About five or so minutes after that, the guard comes and gets us, and says "okay, come on in."The guard lets us in, gets us a ball, and tells my brother and I that we can go play catch and run around for a bit, but we need to stay in the end zone. Apparently my dad told the guard that we came all the way from Winnipeg (that's in Canada) to see the stadium, and his kids were huge Dolphins fans, and it would mean a lot to us if we could just kinda hang out and see the Orange Bowl. He would've been happy just to let us in and peek around a bit, but the guard was cool enough to let us run around like maniacs for 15 minutes or so.That was a good day.

tBBP Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Heinz Field - to this day, the only NFL game I've seen live in person. 2008 Divisional Wild Card game between the Steelers and Jaguars. Somewhere in the "Post Your Pic" thread is a photo of me from that game. Still have gloating and bragging rights about that game, since the Jaguars won. Loved it (at the time).Raymond James - never took in a game (was supposed to go to Throwback Sunday, but a little piggie had other plans), but been up in there.FedEx Field - that place looks humongous from the highway. To me, at least.M&T Bank Stadium - (Used to) drive by it often on the way to Baltimore's Inner Harbor. If I can get a ticket, I'm thinking about going to this Sunday's game against the Steelers. Still undecided as to who I'll support/heckle.Lincoln Financial Field - walked around it.Giants Stadium/Meadowlands/whatever-they're-calling-it-these-days - drive by it (them) all the time. New one looks considerably bigger than existing one.Ericcson Stadium (or whatever the Panthers call their stadium - flew over it on approach to CLT.Paul Brown Stadium - seen it while driving through Cincinnati.Cleveland Browns Stadium (?) - seen it while in Cleveland.Ford Field - seen it while in Detroit. Looks like a beautiful facility.Pontiac Silverdome - somehow found it while on a trip to the D. Out in the middle of nowhere.Louisiana Superdome - took in a Bayou Classic down there. Have yet to take in a Saints game, though I'd love to one day.Jacksonville Municipal Stadium - seen it while in Duval.Joe Robbie/Pro Player/Land Shark/whatever-the-hell-its-called Stadium - seen it while down in MIA *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
