  Tom basically gave good reviews to the stadiums that were most accommodating to him lol

  I feel like all of the stadiums built in the 90’s could be interchangeable in ranking.  They were built at a time before architects discovered how to make NFL stadiums unique

  The underground tunnel system with Lucas Oil Stadium is a crucial part of why the Combine is held there every year.

  Another note about Lambeau’s bleachers from in game experience, I don’t really know how, but I feel the bleachers give more of a sense of community with the fans in attendance since everyone is sitting literally shoulder to shoulder with no barriers. When the Packers score or get a defensive turnover, total strangers immediately start high fiving and talking to all the surrounding fans like you’re watching the game with family friends in the backyard and it’s honestly pretty magical. I never have had that type of feeling anywhere else professionally.

  The thing that really is amazing about SoFi is how short it seems from the outside. Its a huge stadium, but that’s because the field is 100 feet below ground level. Unlike so many other stadiums, it doesn’t dominate the surrounding area, it barely rises over LA’s urban sprawl. Probably does a huge amount to help with keeping the temperature stable too (it does get somewhat chilly in the winter :P), since its easier to insulate against dirt.

  I appreciate the engineering work of Mercedes-Benz Stadium. HOK, who worked on the stadium, were inspired by the oculus within Rome’s ancient Pantheon for the roof. The stadium’s signature roof is composed of eight 220-foot-long “petals.” Activated by the push of a button, the petals appear to rotate when opening but actually move in unison along 16 linear tracks. The roof fully opens in eight minutes and closes in seven. And its facade with alternating insulated metal and ETFE panels was inspired by the shape of a falcon’s wing. And then there&apos;s a 16-story window that floods the space with daylight and panoramic views of the skyline, and of course the just as impressive nearly six-stories high 360-degree halo board! <br><br>I absolutely agree with MetLife Stadium being so out of the way. I look at its location and think to myself, &quot;Man I wish West Side Stadium was built&quot; because while I know it was meant to be just for the Jets, that would&apos;ve been the perfect NYC football stadium with it being so close to NY Penn and not to mention easy subway access. If it was built, NYC would&apos;ve won the 2012 Summer Olympics. Also, the mall didn&apos;t open around the time of the 2014 Super Bowl, it opened in 2019! And construction began for it in 2004! &nbsp;The indoor ski slope sounds dumb at first, but when you realize it&apos;s targeted towards NYC people who want to ski but can&apos;t or don&apos;t want to go too far, then it makes sense. There is a bus to the mall from the PABT in Midtown, as well as the 85 from Hoboken Terminal.

  So basically if the stadium gave him a full access tour, he loved it

  Panthers fan here, and honestly I love Bank of America stadium. Yes, it&apos;s older, but it&apos;s been constantly retrofit over the years and there really isn&apos;t a bad seat in the house. Being right in the center city (Uptown for the locals), there are plenty of bars and restaurants to enjoy on game day. I can also park for free at any of the light rail stations and just take the train uptown, which makes parking cheap and easy. Personally, I&apos;m just not a fan of the new overpriced mega stadiums.
