Three Best Stadiums: Cowboys Stadium

2. Cowboys Stadium: Out with the old, in with the new; the Cowboys may be an old franchise, but they clearly have made attempts to modernize their organization, starting with the stadium. In 2009, Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys spent 1.3 billion dollars on a brand new Cowboys Stadium, a luxurious, breathtaking spectacle. The new arena seats 80,000 people, all packed into one ear throbbing arena. However, what Cowboys Stadium is known for is a 2,100 inch screen at centerfield. It may be   magnificent sight, but this scoreboard has created several problems. For example, in the stadium's preseason debut, Titans punter A.J. Trapasso hit the high definition TV, and made many people second guess wether or not the scoreboard's particular size is necessary. Cowboys Stadium will survive long into the future due to its modern design, and is likely to become one of America's largest landmarks.


Three Best Stadiums: CenturyLink Field

3. CenturyLink Field: The third best stadium in the NFL is awarded to CenturyLink Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks. This field has been named the loudest arena in football due to it's architectural structure, which makes the Seahawks a dangerous opponent to pay against on the road. Built in 2002, CenturyLink Field has been used not only for pro football, but for college games and MLS play as well. Initially, the Seahawks home building was simply named "Seahawks Stadium", then to "Qwest Field", and finally, in 2012, "CenturyLink Field." The field itself is just like any other pro field, but it is the location and seating that separates CenturyLink from the average NFL stadium. The upper tier is a unique part of this building, as it shades fans in the higher deck from the sun. Besides a triangular seating arrangement as well as a huge television in the end zone, empty space clearly reveals the Seattle skyline off in the distance. When taking into the account the 12 Man, the building's design, and a beautiful view of downtown Seattle, it is no surprise CenturyLink Field shows up on our list.
