Re: FedEx Field Rankings Among NFL Stadiums (merged)

FedEx is not the worst park in the NFL - - but it is FAR from the best. Don't know how many NFL venues others have been to, but I've been to 19 of the current fields and a bunch of places that no longer exist.

As far as I'm concerned, the St. Louis and New Orleans venues are the worst. Giants Stadium is bad too. SF and Oakland are no treats at all. San Diego is not very good - - except for the weather which is always good. My only visit to Buffalo was to a game in mid-December and that was about as cold as I have ever been in my life so I don't really think I know what Buffalo would be like if the weather were fit for human habitation...

FedEx as a stadium venue has almost nothing about it that is great. It is inconvenient to get to; it is ugly; large portions of the crowds there every weekend are there to be seen at the game and not to see the game; sightlines are good but not special; the sound system is annoying; the video system needs upgrading.

No one in their right mind goes to a pro sporting event in the US and expects to get a reasonably priced drink or really good food served to them. It doesn't happen at FedEx; it doesn't happen anywhere else either.

My favorites are Seattle, Denver, Green Bay and Chicago - - even though the renovation job done in Chicago is a bizarre bit of architecture.
