This list of current National Football League (NFL) stadiums includes their locations, capacities, year opened, and home teams. Although the NFL has 32 teams, there are only 30 full-time NFL stadiums, as the New York Giants and New York Jets share MetLife Stadium, and the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers share SoFi Stadium.

Contents

The newest full-time NFL stadiums are SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. Both stadiums opened for the 2020 season. Soldier Field in Chicago is the oldest, having opened in 1924; however, the Bears did not play at Soldier Field until 1971 and did not play there in 2002 while the stadium was under reconstruction, and thus the oldest continuously operating stadium in the NFL is Lambeau Field, hosting the Green Bay Packers since its opening in 1957.

The NFL uses several other stadiums in addition to the teams' designated regular home sites. In England, two London venues – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley Stadium – are scheduled to host a combined three games in 2025, as part of the NFL International Series. [1] Other stadiums set to host games in 2025 include Arena Corinthians in São Paulo, Brazil; Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland; Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany; and Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain. In addition, Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, is the location of the annual exhibition Pro Football Hall of Fame Game.

The majority of NFL stadiums use naming rights. Only 3 of the league's 30 stadiums — Arrowhead Stadium, Lambeau Field, and Soldier Field — do not currently use a corporate-sponsored name. Though the Chiefs sold naming rights of the football field to GEHA, the team retains stadium branding under the Arrowhead name. [2]

Characteristics

Stadiums represent a considerable expense to a community, and thus their construction, use, and funding often enter the public discourse. [3] Also, given the perceived advantage a team gets to playing in its home stadium, particular attention is given in the media to the peculiarities of each stadium's environment. Climate, playing surface (either natural or artificial turf), and the type of roof all contribute to giving each team its home-field advantage.

Stadiums are either open, enclosed, or have a retractable roof. For retractable roofs, the home team determines if the roof is to be opened or closed 90 minutes before kickoff. The roof remains open unless precipitation or lightning is within the vicinity of the stadium, the temperature drops below 40 °F (4 °C), or wind gusts are greater than 40 miles per hour (64 km/h), in which case the roof operators will close the roof. [4]

Seating

With a peak capacity of over 100,000 spectators (80,000+ listed seating capacity), AT&T Stadium has the highest capacity of any NFL stadium, while MetLife Stadium has the highest listed seating capacity at 82,500. The smallest stadium is Soldier Field with a capacity of 61,500.

In their normal configurations, all of the league's 30 stadiums have a seating capacity of at least 60,000 spectators; of those, a majority (17) have fewer than 70,000 seats, while 8 have between 70,000 and 80,000, and 5 can seat 80,000 or more. In contrast to college football stadiums, the largest of which can and regularly do accommodate over 100,000 spectators, no stadium in the league currently has a listed seating capacity of more than 82,500. Teams rarely build their stadiums far beyond the 80,000 seat threshold (and even then, only in the largest markets) because of the league's blackout policy, which prohibited the televising of any NFL game within 75 miles of its home market if a game does not sell all of its non-premium seating. The policy has been suspended since 2015; from then until 2019, several teams played in temporary facilities with capacities far larger than a normal stadium. In 2020, social distancing mandates related to the COVID-19 pandemic prohibited teams from selling out their stadiums, and several teams had no fans in attendance all season due to state mandates (for example, the Las Vegas Raiders had no spectators for the entire season in accordance with Nevada policy). The league has a firm minimum on the number of seats an NFL stadium should have; since 1971, the league has generally not allowed any stadium under 50,000 seats to host a full-time NFL team. In normal circumstances, all NFL stadiums are all-seaters.
