What Are The 10 Most Iconic NFL Stadiums?
NFL stadiums can be memorable for a multitude of reasons — from history to culture to design. These venues can be unique, whether they're old, renovated or newly built. Some stadiums stand out even further because they present an incomparable experience for both fans and players, making them undoubtedly iconic. That said, we've rounded up the 10 most renowned NFL stadiums in the country. What are the 10 most iconic NFL stadiums? 10. SoFi Stadium (Chargers, Rams) Los Angeles's SoFi Stadium — which opened in 2020, making it the newest stadium in the NFL — is home to both the Chargers and the Rams. While it doesn't have the depth of history to rival some of the other stadiums on this list, it's iconic for its futuristic, sleek design. Its open-air concept gives it the feel of an outdoor arena with natural light and ventilation, but it still has a dome to limit the effect of weather. SoFi Stadium also boasts a 360-degree video board that greatly enhances the fan experience. For future teams seeking new stadiums, SoFi could be their example. 9. Lincoln Financial Field (Eagles) Lincoln Financial Field, affectionately known as "The Linc," has been made famous by its fans and its history. The Eagles started playing there during the 2003 season and have brought two Super Bowls home since. Their fans support them like no other franchise with constant rambunctiousness that makes for a lively tailgate experience. 8. Empower Field at Mile High (Broncos) The Broncos have a built-in advantage already because of their familiarity with playing a mile above sea-level, but they maximize that advantage with a tradition that began at Denver's previous stadium; fans stomp on Empower Field's steel floors, which creates an intimidating sound known as "Mile High Thunder." 7. Caesars Superdome (Saints) Caesars Superdome earns its name by being not only the biggest dome stadium in the league, but it's also the biggest dome structure in the world. It has also hosted eight Super Bowls, the most of any stadium in the NFL. 6. Acrisure Stadium (Steelers) Acrisure Stadium, formerly known as Heinz Field before its 2022 rebrand, has one of the best city-skyline views of any stadium in the NFL. It also perfectly embodies the city, as it's designed with steel and glass to reflect Pittsburgh's industrial heritage. Acrisure Stadium is also home to one of the greatest fan experiences, which includes the "Terrible Towel" and the fourth-quarter ritual of playing "Renegade" to hype up the fans and players. 5. Lumen Field (Seahawks) Lumen Field is unique for its grandstands. It's built to maximize sound with 30-plus uninterrupted rows of bleachers behind one end zone that are designed to have sound echo off the other parts of the stadium. Seahawks fans are known as "The 12s" for their undying and ear-piercing passion, which is maximized by the architecture of the stadium. 4. Soldier Field (Bears) Opened in 1924, Soldier Field is the NFL's oldest stadium. Its name is an homage to U.S. soldiers who died in World War I. The stadium's design is inspired by the Roman Colosseum, as it's buttressed by Doric columns. Bears fans who attend games at Soldier Field are some of the most loyal despite being deprived of a Super Bowl for almost 40 years. 3. AT&T Stadium (Cowboys) AT&T Stadium is one of the most impressive dome stadiums in the NFL. It has the largest retractable roof and the largest high-definition screen of any stadium. Apart from hosting Cowboys games, AT&T Stadium is also home to college football's Cotton Bowl, the East-West Shrine game, and oftentimes the Big 12 Championship Game. It will also host nine World Cup games — the most of any venue — when the tournament comes to North America in 2026. 2. Arrowhead Stadium (Chiefs) Arrowhead Stadium has skyrocketed in popularity this century with the Chiefs being perennial championship contenders. It's one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL and peaks in decibels when Chiefs fans participate in the "Arrowhead Chop." The Chiefs have rewarded their fans, bringing home three Super Bowls in the last six seasons. 1. Lambeau Field (Packers) If you want the true American football game experience, look no further than Lambeau Field. Tucked in a community on the bay of Lake Michigan, Lambeau Field presents a big-game feel in a small-town atmosphere. Packers fans, aka "Cheeseheads," are as passionate as any fan-base, filling stadium to the brim whether it's a blizzard or clear skies. Check out all of our Daily Rankers .

Steelers Announce New Terrible Towel for 2025
Steelers Announce New Terrible Towel for 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers' symbol of fandom, the famous rally towel known as the Terrible Towel, has become an emblem of not just the team, but the city itself. Advertisement The Terrible Towel has seen the top of Mount Everest, and it has visited the International Space Station. And it all started as a gimmick in the 1975 playoffs with the help of legendary broadcaster Myron Cope. There have been numerous and varying versions of the rally towel, but the Steelers seem ready to upgrade, announcing a new Terrible Towel for 2025. The Pittsburgh Steelers will reveal the 50th anniversary edition of the Terrible Towel next week, as the team announced on its X account Thursday. At the time, the towel idea was mocked by local media, particularly the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Before that playoff game in 1975 against the Baltimore Colts, Cope noted that there were fewer than a dozen original Terrible Towels on display at the stadium. Advertisement However, he noted that changed as the Steelers players were in the tunnel prior to introductions, as he wrote in his book, "Double Yoi!" Cope recalled, "Nearing kickoff, the Steelers gathered in their tunnel for introductions, whereupon the crowd exploded — and suddenly, by my estimation, 30,000 Terrible Towels twirled from the fists of fans around the stadium!" The Steelers beat the Colts that day 28-10, cementing the Terrible Towel in Steelers lore. Had Pittsburgh lost the game that day, who knows what would have become of the Terrible Towel. We may have never heard from it again.
