Three Best Stadiums: Lambeau Field

1. Lambeau Field: The oldest field in the National Football League has been known by fans as a landmark, due to its history and fabulous traditions. Many Hall of Famers have once called Lambeau Field their home. Wether it be Bart Starr, or Reggie White, or present day Aaron Rodgers, some of the biggest names in sports have played on this piece of history. The Packers happen to be the only sports team in Green Bay, which only adds to the emotion from the fans. Cheese-heads are known throughout the league for their devotion towards Packer football, making it extremely difficult for opposing teams to march into Wisconsin and leave with a win. The stadium itself begins with a statue of legendary coach and founder Curly Lambeau, with big, glass windows behind him. The inside of this historic football stadium has a similar structure to a mall because of its arching ceilings and successful pro shop. The field contains the Packers logo at the 50 yard line and the team's name in either end zone. When standing on the grass in Green Bay, it feels as if the fans are on top of you, where the bleachers curve upwards towards the sky. This organization somehow managed to establish a modern stadium while preserving the old fashioned feel.

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.

Three Best Stadiums: Arrowhead Stadium

Honorable Mention: Arrowhead Stadium: Kansas City may not have a "12th Man" on the field, but the sea of red in the stands comes pretty close. Many historical games have been played at Arrowhead Stadium, and will stand as a landmark in this game's history. Unlike the average arena which is more of an oval, the Chief's field is pointed at the ends, appearing from above as a rectangle. Its design along with the devoted fans makes this coliseum one of the loudest in football. With so much history behind it, as well as a beautiful structure, Arrowhead Stadium earns an honorable mention on our list.

The Three Best Stadiums

     Sadly, due to the popularity of high definition televisions, the architecture of football stadiums has practically become a lost art. Though we catch glimpses of these massive coliseums from afar, it will never be the same as sitting in those seats, watching the game in person. The fan base adds a whole other dimension to the stadium. For example, many compliment Fenway Park due to its aroused fans and how close they are to the field. Training camp is just a few weeks away, as is the regular season. Therefore, in anticipation of football, we will add to our saga name "The Three" by installing The Three Best Stadiums.
