The following is a list of current National Football League stadiums, sorted by capacity, their locations, their first year of usage and home teams.

Stadiums represent a considerable expense to a community, and thus their construction, use, and funding often enters the public discourse.^[1] 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 presence or lack of a roof or dome all contribute to giving each team its home-field advantage.

The New York Giants and New York Jets share a stadium (MetLife Stadium), thus there are only 31 NFL stadiums.^[2]

The NFL uses several other stadiums on a regular basis in addition to the teams' designated regular home sites. The St. Louis Rams currently have a three-year agreement to play one regular season home game per year at Wembley Stadium in London, England, as part of the NFL International Series, while the Buffalo Bills have an agreement to play one home game per year from 2008-2012 plus two (originally three) exhibition games at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario. In addition, Fawcett Stadium in Canton, Ohio, is the location of the annual exhibition Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, and Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii, is usually the location of the Pro Bowl.

The New York Giants and New York Jets MetLife Stadium is the largest stadium in the NFL by its regular seating capacity. The Dallas Cowboys Cowboys Stadium can expand past that of MetLife Stadium by means of using standing-room and temporary seating, which makes Cowboys Stadium the only NFL stadium capable of holding 100,000 or more spectators, though it normally only seats 80,000. The smallest full-time NFL stadium is Soldier Field, the home of the Chicago Bears.

ListEdit

Stadiums are listed by their seating capacity for NFL games. Some stadiums can be expanded to fit larger crowds for other events such as concerts or conventions.
