KCL, as you know I lived in Kansas City for awhile back in 1980-1981, as a welder. I used to go to the Chiefs' games at Arrowhead. It's a fantastic stadium. Been to TWO Bronco's vs Chief's (still a novice) games since - and always have had a good time there. It's a little too cold for me in the winter though, as that stadium seems to have 50mph winds race through that, and the higher up your seat, the more you feel the sting of that winter wind. Had a lot of fun tailgaiting there over the years. Very interesting read!

I saw the Broncs play the Raiders in the old Mile High (1994). My wife(then girlfriend) and I took off from Saint John on a 2 week vacation, drove across the states in a week and somehow managed to get tickets the Friday before the game. They were still cleaning up the field from the Stones concert that had been there the night before. Great stadium. Great memories...

My favorite NFL stadium to watch a game was by far Metropolitan Stadium. The Vikings had one of the best homefield advantages.

Thanks for the link! I love web sites like that one.

I especially liked the part that showed all the past stadiums.

I'm surprised.......it looks as if all the seats are a mile away from the field.

I was there last year when the bolts got kicked. The stadium is a dump. The seats arent that far from the field though.

The RCA Dome was the most wonderful place ever.

I miss it. It was a perfect fit.

Watching the Cowboys game...and just wondering....

WHAT KIND OF A MORON WOULD SPEND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON A STADIUM AND PUT A GIGANTIC JUMBO TV IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD HANGING FROM THE ROOF AND YEAT THE TV IS ONLY 100 FT ABOVE THE FIELD???

I don't know, but it is a hell of a jumbotron screen for the fans. It's pretty wild. We'll see how many punts hit it. It might be like the olympic dome in Montreal, it rarely becomes a real problem.

Oh its awesome looking, but its already happened once tonight. Doesn't seem like good strategy if you need to punt around it if your aiming for a sideline or something. I bet if it becomes too much, they will spend another gazillion dollars to raise it.

Did it happen in the game (I turned it off about 45 minutes ago) or just during the pregame warmups?

It just happened right before I did my post. I saw the pre-game warmups hitting it..that was probably on purpose. After the one hit it in the game, they had to re-punt and the next punt would have hit it if not for being off to the side.

I grew up in the Central PA area and attended my fair share of Eagles games. Wow. Veterans Stadium. What memories I have of that place. What a freakin dump it was too.

I'll also be attending a concert in the new Dallas Stadium next month. Can't wait to see what that monster looks like.

Anyone been to Qwest Field? I'm going week 3 to see the Bears play. Any help is appreciated..

I've been to Soldier and Lucas Oil, and both are great.

did you guys know that when the visiting team exits their locker room at mile high,the first thing they see is a giant sign painted on the wall that says "INVESCO FIELD AT MILE HIGH.....5280 ft above sea level"
it is designed to remind opposing teams that they are gonna be sucking air !;)

I was in Gillette stadium in Foxboro, Mass last October when we got our asses handed to us on the Monday nighter. What a beautiful facility that is. My buddy, who lives down there, had nosebleed seat tickets but we spent the entire game standing behind the "disabled" section on the first level. Other than the 50 yard line, they are the best "seats" in the house.

I've been to four NFL stadiums in my young lifetime.

1) Invesco Field at Mile High (well, duh!) I was out in Colorado in Summer 2008 for work and snuck out of work one weekend to take a tour of the city of Denver, which included a tour of Invesco Field at Mile High.
2) Alltel/Jacksonville Municipal Stadium: I've been there twice, both times, WVU went to the Gator Bowl.
3) Cleveland Browns Stadium: Went there for Browns vs. Broncos in 2008. Browns fans are ********, but it's a nice stadium.
4) Heinz Field aka The Litterbox. I call it the Litterbox because it's where WVU's arch-rivals, the Pitt Panthers play their games. Oh, did I mention it's also a dump!?

I've been by Lucas Oil Stadium shortly before it opened. Believe it or not, took a Greyhound from Des Moines, IA back to WV. The Indy Greyhound station was near Lucas Oil Stadium. Also, I've been by Bank of America stadium several times when I've been in Charlotte and have driven by Charlotte.
