NFL Stadiums Quiz — 7 Free Questions

Question 1

The oldest continuously operating stadium in the NFL, opened in 1957 and named for the team's founder, it is owned by the city and by the team's shareholders. Players celebrate touchdowns by leaping into the arms of fans in the front rows.

Question 2

A replica lighthouse and a colonial-style footbridge stand at one end of this open-air stadium in a town between Boston and Providence. In 2023 it added one of the largest video boards in North America.

Question 3

Its retractable roof, giant retractable glass end-zone doors and a colossal video board hung directly over the field earned it the nickname "Jerry World." A punt once struck that video board, forcing a re-kick.

Question 4

About 70 percent of its seats are roofed, not for weather but to trap and amplify noise, and a giant "12" flag is raised before games to honour the fans. Crowd noise here has registered on nearby earthquake sensors.

Question 5

Its team plays one home game a year in London. In 2014 it added what were briefly the world's largest video boards, plus swimming pools and cabanas overlooking one end zone.

Question 6

Built about 40 miles south of the city its team is named for, this open-air stadium has rooftop solar panels and a planted green roof. Its east side, with no upper deck for shade, bakes in afternoon sun, a constant complaint. It hosted Super Bowls in 2016 and 2026.

Question 7

This retractable-roof stadium in the desert has an entire natural-grass field that rolls out of the building on rails to sit in the sun between games. It has hosted three Super Bowls and a college football title game.

About NFL Stadiums

An NFL stadium is a billion-dollar argument about weather, money and identity. Green Bay and Buffalo lean into the cold, with no roof and fans paid to shovel snow. Miami, Phoenix and Jacksonville answer the heat with shade canopies and, in the desert, an entire natural-grass field that rolls out of the building on rails to sit in the sun between games. Domes solved the weather problem outright: the Houston Astrodome did it first in 1965, so novel it was called the Eighth Wonder of the World, and its glare-killed grass gave the world artificial turf.

The modern era is defined by the retractable roof and the enormous screen. NRG Stadium in Houston opened the first NFL retractable roof in 2002; AT&T Stadium in Dallas hung a video board so large over the field that a punt once hit it; Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta built a roof of eight sliding triangular petals and a circular halo board around the seats. SoFi Stadium, sunk a hundred feet into the ground under a translucent canopy in Inglewood, cost around five billion dollars, the most ever spent on a stadium, and like MetLife Stadium in New Jersey it is shared by two teams.

The best ones carry a signature. Lambeau Field, opened in 1957 and part-owned by the fans, has the Lambeau Leap. Arrowhead in Kansas City holds a Guinness record for crowd noise, and Seattle's Lumen Field roofs 70 percent of its seats purely to bounce the sound back down. Pittsburgh's stadium frames the skyline through an open end and displays six Lombardi Trophies inside; Tampa Bay's has a full-size pirate ship that fires cannons; Cleveland's sits on the edge of Lake Erie with a bleacher section called the Dawg Pound.

The numbers tell their own story. Soldier Field in Chicago opened in 1924 and is the oldest venue in use, and after a jarring 2003 rebuild it is also the smallest, at about 61,500 seats. Lambeau Field is the oldest to have kept its name and character. The Superdome in New Orleans has hosted more Super Bowls than any other building, eight, and sheltered tens of thousands of people during Hurricane Katrina. Almost every stadium now sells its name: Pittsburgh's was a ketchup company for 21 years and is now an insurance broker, Washington's has run through at least four sponsors, and Cleveland's has had three since 2013 alone. Levi's Stadium put solar panels on the roof; several teams play a real home game in London every year.

And stadiums die. Three Rivers, Texas Stadium with its famous hole in the roof, Candlestick Park and its wind, the Pontiac Silverdome that sold at auction for the price of a nice house, all imploded or demolished, usually so a replacement could rise next door. Nashville and Buffalo are building new ones now. This quiz covers all 30 current NFL venues and six of the memorable dead ones: read the clues, sometimes with a photo, and name the place.
