Good point! Too many people going to games worry more about the tailgating (although I'll say tailgating is very fun) then the game itself. As far as the physical stadium goes, I wasn't THAT impressed with Fedex. I actually thought Carolina's stadium as a lot better looking (I'm not concerned about the tailgating.)

The fans who inhabit the stadium - - and their average state of iniebriation - - leave something to be desired. But Lincoln Financial Field is a light-year ahead of Fed Ex.

I have not yet been to New Meadowlands so I cannot say what that stadium is like.
I've been to the old Meadowlands for a concert. It's just in a complex off the NJ turnpike. (exit 16 if I remember right). No neighborhood around.

Good to know about the Linc...going there in June with my son for a Monster Jam event.


Baltimore is the same way. Camden Yards and M&T are beside each other and in a clean, safe part of Baltimore, one of the few. You can take the Metro literally right up to the stadiums and it's about 2-3 blocks from the Inner Harbor.

Stay near the Harbor when in Baltimore. You'll get mugged, shot and an STD if you venture one street over too far.

They did upgrade to the HiDef monitors last year, and they were SO much better than the Lite Brite screens.

I'm talking about the TVs near the concessions stands. I have to squint to see what's going on.

Agree completely that Qwest Field is a GREAT NFL venue.

Re: National Football Post ranks all 31 NFL Stadiums.

Fed Ex isnt really in a neighborhood, its an exit off the beltway. Its in PG County and certain parts of that county can be dicey. RFK is in NE DC and that really is a neighborhood. I wouldnt want to walk around there at night when nothing is going on but on a game day it was fine.

Re: National Football Post ranks all 31 NFL Stadiums.

I've been to FedEx once, for a Metallica concert, and M&T once, for HFestival the year Billy Idol and the Foo Fighters were there. FedEx is as plain as it gets, but that place is huge! getting in and out is a pain, but I have few other points of reference. M&T wasn't too bad, but we took the Metro which made it easy.

Honestly, I've never been to an NFL game. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I just usually don't have the money to drive to D.C. from Cumberland, pay for all the other crap involved. My wife's cousin, however, has a luxury box at FedEx that he uses as entertainment for his construction business. He usually has family down for one game a year. I think I'm gonna have to get the wife to kiss his arse a little lol...

I've been to Nats Park and PNC Park and both are very nice. PNC Park is pretty much in a league of it's own though. That place is truly gorgeous, too bad they don't have a team worth hating (I hate all things Pittsburgh with the exception of the Pirates as they just aren't good enough to hate). Nats Park has some narrow seats though, but then again, I'm a fatty lol... I did have the pleasure of watching the Nats put a beat down on Oswalt and the Philthies there though which was awesome.

Re: National Football Post ranks all 31 NFL Stadiums.

I went to Oakland Colliseum twice for Raiders games and for numerous A's games. The stadium is terrible. It has like no redeeming factors. How ever the fans are super ridiculous. It's fun to get in to it with them. Except you have to be careful of getting beat up. I have whitnessed a shit load of fights there.

You're lucky to just get "beat up" in Oakland.

I like Fed-Ex but I really think they need to locate into the city.
