The following article at the end has the story. It rates from worst to best.

LOL. I like your Catching title, it got me to look. Only reason I peeked was because it was hard to believe JJ's roost ranked 3rd worse in the NFL. And I was correct just like other fans would be thinking when clicking onto your post. "In terms of stadiums as functional structures that exist to provide entertainment and enjoyment, AT&T Stadium ranks No. 1." That's the only part of the article that interests me. :p

Well, now this will just start posts about how bad the crowds are and all that garbage. Prices for food, drink and parking, which is no different than any other stadium or sports venue of any kind. not to mention movie theaters are just as bad.

It seems he was mostly impressed with the rabidness of the fans in the stadiums than the actual stadium itself.

That's why he has the Linc in Philly so high. Anyone who has been in that stadium will see it's really not much different than most of the "newer" stadiums that were built around that time. There's nothing unique or special about it. But their fans can be rowdy and he even points that out.

So this seems to be more a ranking of historical/rowdy stadiums.

The guy raves about Heinz field and that fact that there are bright yellow seats but Steeler fans are so packed in you don't see them.

Wut?

I see them all the time. In fact, I remember how it struck me that it's Pittsburgh but there are so many empty seats.

That stadium sucks. It looks like a lower Tier Division I stadium.

:huh: Uh, what the hell do you think a stadium is for?

It's gorgeous. But to call it a football stadium is like calling Disney World an amusement park.

Football stadiums have seats, beer stands, a field and maybe some swanky club level where luxury-box patrons aren't forced to order hot dogs while in line with commoners.

Jerry World has all that, of course, but it's best known for being the most expensive circus tent ever erected.

The football is secondary to restaurants, bars, restaurants and bars that surround the path players take from the locker room to the field, more pieces of art than the Guggenheim, and scoreboards so large they show every playoff heartbreak in a staggering amount of pixels.
:facepalm:

I would rather see the Cowboys play in that run down Cotton Bowl than that overglorified art museum they play in now.

The part about playoff heartbreak gives away where he's really coming from with this. Yeah we've only won 2 playoff games, blah, blah, blah, but agenda revealed.

The overglorified art museum is fine. Might as well have a top of the line stadium. Nothing wrong with it. In fact, if any other team played there everybody would rave about it without criticism. When the Cowboys get back to glory, doing so in such a grand structure will be that much sweeter.

I shall remain silent. I wonder where we rank in tailgating. I feel like we have a strong tailgate, but I know there are several stadiums that have bigger ones.

I have been to 5 stadiums in my life (6 if you count Texas Stadium). Arrowhead, Lambeau, Levi, AT&T, and the now empty dome in St. Louis. I would take AT&T in a heart beat over all of them. It's not even close.

Ive been to the linc and was lucky to leave with my life. Give me non rowdy and enjoyable over scared for my life any day of the week and especially twice on Sunday in this scenario.
