List of current National Football League stadiums
This list of current National Football League (NFL) stadiums includes their locations, capacities, their first year of usage, and home teams. Although the NFL has 32 teams, there are only 30 full-time NFL stadiums. This is because the New York Giants and New York Jets share MetLife Stadium, while the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers share SoFi Stadium. The newest full-time NFL stadiums are SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, home of both the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers; and Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. Both stadiums opened for the 2020 season. Soldier Field in Chicago is the oldest, having opened in 1924; however, the Bears did not play at Soldier Field until 1971 and did not play there in 2002 while the stadium was under reconstruction, and thus the oldest continuously used stadium in the NFL is Lambeau Field, hosting the Green Bay Packers since its opening in 1957. The NFL uses several other stadiums on a regular basis in addition to the teams' designated regular home sites. In England, two London venues – Wembley Stadium and from 2016 to 2018 the Twickehnam Stadium then the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – are contracted to host a combined four games per season, as part of the NFL International Series which runs through 2022. Estadio Azteca in Mexico City hosted NFL International Series games in 2016, 2017, and 2019, and was under contract to host one game per season through 2021. In addition, Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, is the location of the annual exhibition Pro Football Hall of Fame Game. From 2022 also the Allianz Arena in Germany will host the Munich Game of the NFL International series. The majority of current NFL stadiums have sold naming rights to corporations. Only 3 of the league's 30 stadiums—Cleveland Browns Stadium, Lambeau Field, and Soldier Field—do not currently use a corporate-sponsored name; however, the Browns' stadium held a naming rights agreement from 2013 until 2023. Stadium characteristics Stadiums represent a considerable expense to a community, and thus their construction, use, and funding often enter the public discourse. Also, given the perceived advantage a team gets to playing in its home stadium, particular attention is given in the media to the peculiarities of each stadium's environment. Climate, playing surface (either natural or artificial turf), and the type of roof all contribute to giving each team its home-field advantage. Stadiums are either open, enclosed, or have a retractable roof. For retractable roofs, the home team determines if the roof is to be opened or closed 90 minutes before kickoff. The roof remains open unless precipitation or lightning is within the vicinity of the stadium, the temperature drops below , or wind gusts are greater than , in which case the roof operators will close the roof. Seating With a peak capacity of over 100,000 spectators (80,000+ listed seating capacity), AT&T Stadium has the highest capacity of any NFL stadium, while
