Re: National Football Post ranks all 31 NFL Stadiums.

All I know for sure is that FedEx Field is shit compared to Qwest Field. Seriously, would it kill our penny-pinching-overpricer of a bastard owner to make the seats a little wider or put in flat screens instead of those 1970's monitors around the stadium?

The moron that wrote the artical is nuts.I go by FedEx every day first .......RFK was in a worse location then FedEx and the the traffic isn't half as bad ... as the Meadowlands.....and I don't like the New Meadowlands, and I agree with what is said about Philly it sucks ...way to high on the list.

Also, isn't traffic during a Giants or Jets game pretty terrible around the Meadowlands? I personally avoid the area anytime there is game (when I've been up there). But I would imagine that traffic would be just as bad as anywhere in the NYC area.

yup, the turnpike gets backed up at the ticket booth and that's only after you get out of the parking lot after a few hours.

Lincoln Financial Field is in a good neighborhood with good road access, public transit and parking. The stadium is top-shelf too.

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 will admit I've only been to the new Vet once ......and the fans tend to be....aaaaaaaa (asswipes) so that might have been why, but to be honest I'm old school,I liked the "old Giants Stadium" not the new ...I still like RFK ......to hell with the new fancy crap....I go to watch the game not drink or eat my way to death.

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.)

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.
