NFL Stadiums Quiz — 7 Free Questions

Question 1

Sharing a campus with the baseball park that launched the retro-ballpark era, this open-air downtown football stadium opened in 1998 for a team that had arrived from Cleveland two years earlier.

Question 2

A 103-foot replica pirate ship sits in a cove behind one end zone and fires its cannons after every home touchdown and field goal. It has hosted three Super Bowls, the most recent won by the home team.

Question 3

Its sharply angled black-and-glass exterior is meant to evoke a Viking longship, and five huge pivoting glass doors open one end to the outdoors. The clear roof panels have drawn criticism over bird collisions. It hosted a Super Bowl in 2018.

Question 4

When it opened in 2002 it was the first NFL stadium with a retractable roof. It shares its site with the pioneering domed stadium it effectively replaced and hosts the world's largest livestock show and rodeo each spring.

Question 5

This open-air, arrow-motif stadium holds the Guinness World Record for the loudest crowd roar at an outdoor sports venue, set in 2014. It shares a sports complex and a ring of parking with a neighbouring baseball park.

Question 6

This open-air stadium in a suburb of the NFL's snowiest market has no roof and routinely hosts games in blizzards and single-digit cold, with crews and paid volunteer fans shovelling it out. A replacement is being built across the street to open in 2026.

Question 7

Built without a roof in 1987, it later gained a partial canopy over the seats. Beyond football it hosts the Miami Open tennis tournament and, since 2022, a Formula 1 Grand Prix run on a track around its parking lots.

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.
