Arrowhead Stadium

Soldier Field
Super Dome
Lambeau Field
Browns Stadium

Giants and browns stadium is not original. Same with the Superdome. Lambeau, Arrowhead and Soldier field are classics.
Look at other stadiums...Fenway park, Wrigley field, the old Boston Garden, Madison Square garden...you think of these places, and nostalgia fills your heart. Nothing good enters your mind when you think "fed ex field". We need an identity. Bring back Jack Kent Cooke stadium!

What do you mean they aren't original?

They took no thought. Just named it after the team. The good ones are the ones that mean something, that have a history. There was a reason it was named, or dedicated to someone.

Don't get me wrong, it's better than Alliance field, or Petco Park etc etc, but they could have taken that one step farther and made it very original.

What if Phily named their stadium, Vince Papaly (sp?) stadium? All the fans would feel they went to a stadium that stood for perserverance, and guts. Just a thought.

Oh, you're right...I forgot about that. OK, I take that one back.
