It's no coincidence that the worst decade in terms of style, building materials, and color use ended up producing the ugliest stadiums.

- Kingdome
- Pontiac Silverdome
- Three Rivers Stadium
- Veterans Stadium
- Texas Stadium
- Ralph Wilson Stadium
- Superdome

To me all of these were/are the ugliest stadiums in the league and it's no coincidence that they were all built in the 70's. To me Arrowhead is the only nice stadium to have been completed in the 70's and survived long enough to still look nice. The old Giants stadium was also decent but nothing special.

It's funny to because the oldest stadiums in terms of ambiance and atmosphere still looked much better then their 70's counterparts. The two most tenured being Lambeau and Solider Field. Qualcomm is pretty nice as well, at least on TV. I've heard that San Diego really needs a new stadium. RFK also looked pretty nice, though it to was nothing really special in terms of architecture. Still I don't cringe when I see cut away shots on old highlight reels.
