FedEx Field Rankings Among NFL Stadiums (merged)

I can vouch for the affordability at the games, it costs an arm and a leg

I'm surprised its as high as it is. Considering the outrageous cost and inconvenience of getting there I am amazed that people even show up.

FedEx is pretty bad IMO. It has no character.

You guys obviously have never been to Giants Stadium. Talk about no character, corporate atmosphere, not easy to get to (no metro), $9 beers, and full of Giants fans.

I go down to FedEx once a year from Jersey and I think the atmosphere is great. Of course it's not as good as RFK, but you still get that college atmosphere. Even things that you guys might take for granted I enjoy at FedEx, like the tailgate club. If I'm not going with a bunch of people and maybe just my wife, the tailgate club is a lot of fun. Two years ago I got a picture taken with Ricky Ervins (he's so small, he stood on his tip toes for the picture, and I'm only 5'11")

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.

As a fan that would go to 5 or 6 games a year up until last year, I think Fed X is a pretty cool place to go to. The tailgating is awesome. we arrive generally around 10:30 and grill out before and after the game. enjoy some beers and have an awesome time. The crowds have always been great, except for a few idiots, but every stadium has those. I now live in charlotte and you want to talk about an awful experience. No where to tailgate, people show up halfway through the 1st quarter and leave before the game is over. That crowd is the wine and cheese crowd of the NFL. They go to the game to be seen, not to enjoy a game. and you can't stand during the game. You stand and you have someone telling you to sit down and if you dont...you are otta there! horrible atmosphere. They always have tons of people from other teams there. Pittsburg owned that joint a while back and same with the cowboys. I can't wait until the skins come to town so we can take over that horrible stadium too.

come on, search function people. hell it was one of the top threads..lol

The stadium itself is ok, but the atmoshpere is fairly corporate, and there are always a lot of fans of the opposing team there. The view is pretty good even from the 400's. My biggest beef is the fact that the beers are $9.

What I will say though; if they ever rate the top tailgate friendly parks, FedEx should be in the top 5, easy. It' a giant friggin party/cookout. Ten plus acres of food, booze, and fun. I'm going to the Skins/Ravens game later this season, but it's in Baltimore. I can't say that I'm looking forward to tailgating underneath an overpass, in some Baltimore back alley...

down here in my part of the world at the martinsville speedway not only do they charge 9$ for a small bag of ice,they charge 6 for 1 slice of pizza and 6 bucks for 1 beer.and
the sad thing about it is they only do it on nascar race weekends,when it's modified or bush cars,it's regular price.they also charge you 40$$ just to park your car!that's why i'll never go to a race there.

$40 to park at any event is a travesty. I haven't been to Fed-Ex in awhile. But HOW much is it to park there now!? That's if you can even get a damn spot!

$35 I think, but for $5 less, you can park a mile away and take a bus to the stadium...

[Dblock804]

Fed EX should be in the top 5. It's the best party you can go to. 9 for a beer is crazy any place.

[BrunellMVP?]

FedEx is weak, and now they are "shushing" us- pathetic.
"fairly corporate" is an understatement. half my section is turned over week in week out.
bottom line, the real fans are forced to watch from home...
