    I love and I mean LOVE Lambeau so lets not say the home turf. Pick another one.

    I am going with Seattle. How many free 5 yards does that place give its D?
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    Only been to Kingdome... back in '96. Reggie brought one back for a TD. Brett had a crazy play for a TD. Tennessee was nice.

      Superdome - no doubt! I was there in 1992 (Saints vs Bills) and the crowd was electric.

        Guiseppi Meazzo Stadium in Milan, Italy - one friggin' amazing place. I was there in 1990 to see Germany play UAE. 6 goals scored.

        Actually a great story if anyone and I get together, I'll tell it. Too long to write and have my brethren Rats read.

        The other amazing stadium is that of Bayern Munich, called Allianz Stadium. I haven't been there yet, but it's on my list of things to do before I die.

          sadly, i've only been to a couple other college fields. Spartan Stadium and Notre Dame. both where great places to watch a game.

          i've also been to the Silverdome and County stadium to watch a game, probably two of the worst places to see football.

            The "Big Sombrero" in Tampa was a fantastic stadium with a great field (and crappy security)

              I saw a few games at Notre Dame in the 1990's. Very cool. You felt like you were walking into a time warp. Not sure if it's the same now that they've added on to it.

              Soldier Field (before the refurbishment) was horrible. Perfectly suited for the Bears.

                i prefer the older (over 100 years old) stadiums that have been pieced together over the years and look like it. those are the ones that to me have all the character. like craven cottage

                no nfl stadiums excite me other then lambeau. they're either too blah looking or way to modern looking.

                college is a whole different story. but from all the college stadiums i've been to, nothing beats camp randall for atmosphere

                  I'd love to see a game here.

                      Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Deserved its reputation, but it wasn't the disaster some people exaggerated it to be. Went there as a kid and adult and never failed to have a good time. The seats, as sightlines, however, were bad in the upper deck.

                      Trough urinals were also tough to take as a kid. Nightmares about that.

                      Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. I went to see a preseason game where I was rooting for the opposing team (Browns). Did not wear my jersey. Did not get beat up, but then the stands were half empty. Difficult to drive to as you had to go through most of downtown Philly to get there. Driving to games in Philly (also went to the Spectrum) taught me how to cut others off intentionally at both high and low speeds.

                      For baseball, it was OK but nothing interesting about it at all. The Vet, Three Rivers and Riverfront in Cincinnati were interchangeable.
                      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                        Haven't been to many. I thoroughly enjoyed Ford Field's blend of modern and old industrial the five times I was there.

                        The view from a private box on the 50 yard line ad FedEx was pretty cool too.

                        I rather dig Miller Park too

                        Worst ever? Wrigley.

                          In the NFL, other than our beloved Lambeau I have been to Soldier, Ford, and the playoff game last year in Arizona.

                          Venue wise I would rate them:

                          1.Arizona
                          2.Detroit.
                          3.Chicago

                          Experience Wise:

                          1. Arizona
                          2. Chicago
                          3. Detroit.

                          Lots of obnoxious drunks in my section at Ford Field

                            Weird. There was a really drunk dude in my section too. I had a terrible hang over the next day

                            Seriously, I had no problems whatsoever

                              I've been to about a dozen NFL stadiums. (stadiuii?)

                              I really enjoyed Seattle, Houston, and Tampa.

                              I didn't really enjoy Minnesota, St. Louis, or Miami.

                              I found the facilities in Minnesota nicer than they had been explained to me, but the "stadium experience" was just dead. Miami was in the middle of nowhere and it was 3 weeks removed from a hurricane, so it may not have been the best time to be there. St. Louis was a crummy game in the middle of December.

                              Seattle is always a blast, I've been there at least 8 or 9 times, including the Seahawks/Cardinals playoff game several years ago. Also have seen the Seahawks play in the University of Washington stadium. That was fun too.

                              Tampa's facilities are wonderful, seats are comfortable, crowd was polite, but again, dead.

                              Nothing compares to lambeau. I might be a tad bit biased, but maybe not?

                              I loved Wrigley. We had tix in about the 10th row behind home plate one time, it's always been a blast for me. I didn't like US Cellular field (White sox), but their facilities were far superior in every way. Camp Randall will always have a warm place in my heart. Not sure I'd like it today as a sober adult, but as a drunk college student it was a blast.
