10 Worst NFL Stadium Rankings 2022

There are 30 NFL stadiums standing in 2022. And while we are in the age of advanced technology, not all of these NFL stadiums are created equal, which is tough on the fans. When you consider the price of a ticket, parking, concessions, and souvenirs, going to a live NFL game will cost the consumer a pretty penny, especially if they are bringing their family. And when some of these venues are not up to par, one must ask themselves, is it really worth it?

That being said, here are our Top 10 Worst NFL Stadiums in 2022.

10. Raymond James Stadium (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

• Opened: 1998
• Capacity: 65,890

The highlight of Raymond James Stadium is the monstrous Pirate Ship. However, outside of that, the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is growing more dated by the day, especially with all of the new stadiums that had opened up since it was built in 1998. While the atmosphere is rich, parking could be a nightmare, which could put a damper on your day from the start.

9. Levi’s Stadium (San Francisco 49ers)

• Opened: 2014
• Capacity: 68,500

While Levi’s Stadium features plenty of state-of-the-art technology, the modernized home of the San Francisco 49ers is located in Santa Clara, in the heart of Silicon Valley, which inflates the prices of tickets, parking, and concessions. However, despite its technological advances, its structure appears dated. While it’s nice to visit a stadium packed with technology, that is something someone can do at home. Levi’s Stadium needs to have more of a feel like an NFL stadium instead of a trip to Best Buy.

8. Ford Field (Detroit Lions)

• Opened: 2002
• Capacity: 65,000

Although Ford Field stands in a terrific location in downtown Detroit and is a sheer upgrade over the good old Pontiac Silverdome, the home of the Detroit Lions lacks history and legacy. Ford Field was structured in 2002 and has yet to host a postseason game. If there is a positive, ticket and concession prices are lower than average. And while you might have to wait in a long line for your beer and hotdog, at least they are trying to give you a break somewhere to compensate for the team’s overall mediocrity.

7. Soldier Field (Chicago Bears)

• Opened: 1924
• Capacity: 61,500

Although Soldier Field was originally constructed in 1924, it was way overdue for an upgrade, which the home of the Chicago Bears received in 2002. While there are a lot of good things to hang your hat on for Bears fans like a storied history, ticket prices to go see a Bears game at home are amongst the priciest in the NFL. And when ticket prices are high, then you should expect parking and concession prices to be just as astronomical.

6. TIAA Bank Field (Jacksonville Jaguars)

• Opened: 1995
• Capacity: 69,132

TIAA Field was built in 1995 but has received modern upgrades through the years. However, since the stadium is located in central Jacksonville and is tied to a Jaguars team with very little flattering history, it will take more than a unique swimming pool where Jags fans can watch the games to recuse TIAA Field from their current ranking as the 5th worst stadium in the NFL. The stadium and the team it hosts alike need to blow it up and start over.

5. Hard Rock Stadium (Miami Dolphins)

• Opened: 1987
• Capacity: 65,326

Hard Rock Stadium is another venue that is aging but did manage to make modernized upgrades to stay afloat. And when it comes to its location, Hard Rock Stadium is not standing in a fan-friendly spot. Not only will fans hit traffic traveling to the field, but Hard Rock Stadium was also built in the middle of nowhere. Pair all of that with sub-par parking, and you can make the case that the home of the Dolphins has been just as bad as the team’s quarterbacks since Dan Marino.

4. Bank of America Stadium (Carolina Panthers)

• Opened: 1996
• Capacity: 75,523

Built-in 1996, Bank of America Stadium is rapidly aging and can use modernized upgrades to improve the overall fan experience. And while Panthers owner David Tepper plans to make necessary upgrades sooner rather than later, until he does so, Panthers fans will be watching a poorly run football team playing at a stadium that is not much better.

3. Bills Stadium (Buffalo Bills)

• Opened: 1973
• Capacity: 71,870

While Bills Stadium was built in 1973, it did receive modern upgrades in 2013, which pads the fan’s overall experience for home games. However, located in Orchard Park, NY, an NFL venue in the middle of suburban America feels out of place unless it’s in Green Bay. Despite all of the stadium’s overall deficiencies, the Bills are winning, which makes an already rowdy atmosphere that much more fun for football fans.

2. Paul Brown Stadium (Cincinnati Bengals)

• Opened: 2000
• Capacity: 65,513

While the Bengals are currently winning football games, attending a home game could be trying. Not only could it get frigidly cold, but the location along the Ohio River is far from appealing. While the quality of food and restrooms is in the proverbial toilet, you can get tickets for a Bengals game at a relative value compared to most NFL teams.

1. FedEx Field (Washington Commanders)

• Opened: 1997
• Capacity: 82,000

FedEx Field is the worst of the worst when it comes to NFL stadiums. In fact, part of the stadium collapsed just last season following an Eagles-Commanders game. To make matters worse, not only does FedEx Field host one of the worst football organizations in recent memory, but you will need to pay up to see them. FedEx Field ticket, parking, and concession prices are above NFL average. FedEx Field and the team it hosts both need significant overhauls and it starts with the owner, Daniel Snyder.
