I’m on a mission to visit every stadium in the WNBA, NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL. Below, you’ll find my rankings and reviews based on my personal experiences, focusing on the quality of the facility, food, and overall atmosphere.

NFL

1. AT&T Stadium – Arlington, TX (Home of the Dallas Cowboys)

Love him or hate him, Jerry Jones knows how to throw a party. He truly cares about the fan experience, and it shows—AT&T Stadium boasts over 3,000 televisions, a full-size football field and party area outside the arena, and top-notch amenities throughout. The food portions are huge, delicious, and satisfying, and the air conditioning is a welcome bonus on a humid Texas day.

We visited the stadium on September 22, 2024, and the jumbotron is truly something you have to see in person. We also took the stadium tour the day before the game, and we can confidently say this is the best stadium in the NFL.

2. U.S. Bank Stadium – Minneapolis, MN (Home of the Minnesota Vikings)

U.S. Bank Stadium is my second favorite stadium in the NFL. The facility is beautiful and was designed by the same architect behind AT&T Stadium. We attended a game on December 29, 2024, and had the opportunity to access the field the day before during the stadium tour. I highly recommend the Ultimate Touchdown Tour—it’s a great way to experience the venue up close.

This stadium lost some points in our rankings due to the food, which was underwhelming, and the steep seating design. Even in our lower-level seats in Section 118, we could feel the incline when walking up to the main concourse.

3. Lambeau Field - Green Bay, WI (Home of the Green Bay Packers)

Lambeau Field is one of the best stadiums in the NFL. We’ve been multiple times and plan to return in Fall 2025—updated pictures coming soon! The fans are incredibly friendly, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is top-notch.

It currently ranks third on our list. The main downsides are the lower-bowl bleacher seating and the lack of a dome, which can make winter games a bit less enjoyable in harsh weather conditions.

4. Soldier Field - Chicago, IL (Home of the Chicago Bears)

We’ve been to Soldier Field multiple times, as we live in Illinois. It’s no surprise the Chicago Bears are pushing for a new stadium—this one is well past its prime. Soldier Field feels old, tired, and lacks modern amenities (no roof, limited comforts, etc.).

The experience is also extremely expensive, and unfortunately, not worth the price. The fans were some of the most unpleasant we’ve encountered—during our visit, we witnessed fans throwing beers at each other, at police officers, and generally creating a hostile environment. Did I mention how outrageously priced the tickets are? For a team that hasn’t won a Super Bowl in over 30 years, they sure charge like they’re perennial contenders.

5. Hard Rock Stadium - Miami, FL (Home of the Miami Dolphins)

We visited Hard Rock Stadium on October 12, 2014, to see my Green Bay Packers play the Dolphins. At the time, the stadium was in rough shape—old, outdated, and clearly in need of an upgrade. While it was renovated in 2015, I have no plans to return. One visit was enough for me.

Given the intense Florida heat, the stadium would benefit greatly from a dome with air conditioning. The open-air design made the experience pretty uncomfortable.

NBA/WNBA

1. Little Caesars Arena – Detroit, MI (Home of the Detroit Pistons)

2. Gainbridge Fieldhouse - Indianapolis, IN (Home of the Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever)

NHL

5. American Family Field – Milwaukee, WI (Home of the Milwaukee Brewers)

6. Wrigley Field - Chicago, IL (Home of the Chicago Cubs)

3. Fiserv Forum - Milwaukee, WI (Home of the Milwaukee Bucks)

I’ll be honest—I'm not a fan of Detroit. Every time I visit, it feels like a mess. That being said, this stadium tops our list. Little Caesars Arena is incredibly well-designed and clearly takes the fan experience into account.

True to its name, fans can purchase whole Little Caesars pizzas inside the arena, which is a great touch—especially for families. We saw many taking advantage of this affordable and convenient option, and it was refreshing to see a team catering to its fans in a meaningful way.

We attended on March 9, 2024, and we definitely plan to go back. The stadium is clean, modern, and features very comfortable seating.

Fiserv Forum is a beautiful facility. It’s easy to navigate around Milwaukee, and the Deer District is amazing—with plenty of dining, shopping, and bars to check out before the game. We last visited on March 13, 2025.

This stadium ranks third on our list. While the overall experience is great, the seating could be more comfortable. If you plan to attend a game, I recommend sitting in a center-court section for the best view.

4. United Center - Chicago, IL (Home of the Chicago Bulls)

MLB

Gainbridge Fieldhouse is an excellent arena—clean, modern, and very comfortable. We attended an Indiana Fever game on May 16, 2024, and plan to attend many more in 2025.

The seating was extremely comfortable, reasonably priced, and the layout made it easy to navigate throughout the stadium. I definitely recommend checking out a game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse if you get the chance. It’s a great place to enjoy some basketball.

We’ve been to the United Center multiple times. It currently ranks fourth on our list, mainly because it feels outdated and is quite expensive. While it has a rich history and loyal fans, the overall experience doesn’t quite measure up to some of the more modern arenas.

1. Oracle Park – San Francisco, CA (Home of the San Francisco Giants)

Oracle Park is the best ballpark in Major League Baseball. The views, stadium condition, and overall atmosphere are second to none. It was a blast exploring the stadium and watching the boats in McCovey Cove, waiting for a home run to splash down.

We attended on April 27, 2018, and we definitely plan to return.

2. Busch Stadium – St. Louis, MO (Home of the St. Louis Cardinals)

Busch Stadium ranks second on our list. It’s easy to get to—located right off the interstate—and is extremely clean and fan-friendly. One of our favorite spots to sit is the Coca-Cola Deck. The awning provides great shade, and food and drinks are included, which makes for an awesome experience.

Busch offers several all-inclusive areas, which is perfect for fans who enjoy indulging in food and drinks during the game. We make it a tradition to attend at least one game at Busch each year.

3. Dodger Stadium – Los Angeles, CA (Home of the Los Angeles Dodgers)

Dodger Stadium ranks third on our list. There’s nothing quite like enjoying a Dodger Dog on a summer evening while watching baseball under the lights.

Yes, it’s an older stadium, but it’s in excellent condition and still delivers a classic baseball experience. Don’t be surprised if many fans arrive a bit late or head out early

4. Rate Field – Chicago, IL (Home of the Chicago White Sox)

I’m not sure why White Sox ownership wants a new stadium—Rate Field is a very nice and pleasant place to watch a game. The food, however, was disappointing. Attendance has been abysmal, but the stadium itself is well-maintained and enjoyable.

American Family Field will always be “Miller Park” to me. It’s a solid place to enjoy a game, with a relaxed atmosphere and a fan-friendly design.

The seating, however, feels cramped—even in the lower-level sections, as shown in the photo from my last visit. The dome is a great feature and can be opened on nice evenings, which adds to the experience. That said, the stadium is starting to show its age.

We’ve been to Wrigley Field multiple times, and there’s no denying it’s an iconic stadium with a rich history. However, there are definitely better stadiums to take in a game when it comes to comfort, amenities, and the overall fan experience.

7, Kauffman Stadium – Kansas City, MO (Home of the Kansas City Royals)

Kauffman Stadium is very clean but definitely showing its age. We attended our most recent game on June 10, 2024, and it’s easy to see why the Royals are considering a new stadium. That said, the parking situation is excellent—getting in and out for a game is a breeze.

The food was decent, the staff was friendly, and of course, the fountains remain an iconic feature. Still, the stadium as a whole could benefit from a modern refresh.

1. Enterprise Center – St. Louis, MO (Home of the St. Louis Blues)

We attended a Blues game on April 3, 2025. While the stadium is older, it’s clean and the staff are friendly. We had amazing seats right by the ice—they were padded and very comfortable.

Our food was included, which was a great touch and made the experience even better. We can’t wait to go back!
