NFL Stadium Rankings

**Marrdro** · 06-04-2009, 02:02 PM

For the second consecutive season, Lambeau Field finished first in Sports Illustrated's NFL stadium rankings. In September, SI asked readers to do a 19-question online survey ranking their hometown stadium and they broke down the answers into the categories of affordability, food, tailgating, team quality, atmosphere and accessibility. Lambeau Field was the only stadium inIN THE LEAGUE to finish in the Top 5 in each of those areas. Including first-place finishes in both affordability, food and atmosphere. The five categories were all weighed equally. Lambeau Field was ranked second in the NFL in tailgating behind Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo.

Sports Illustrated had more than 12,000 people fill out the survey, and a third of those submitted came from season-ticket holders. The average number of games attended by all respondents was 3.23 per season.

The fact that the Vikings ranked 28/32 for affordability discredits the entire study.
You want cheap tickets to an NFL game?
Buy some Vikings tickets.

Buy some Vikings tickets.

Only if you buy them from a reseller.
Vikings ticket prices and concession prices are among the highest in the NFL,
This is primarily because of the lack of other revenue from things like luxury seats.

If you think this stadium is unaffordable, just wait until you get a load of the new one.

Didn't the last architectural proposal focus on a more energy efficient stadium?
One of their talking points was that operating costs would go down due to newer materials and better efficiency.

Probably is, but to think those savings will reduce ticket prices in light of an additional 1 billion in new debt is something that you cannot make work even in Marr's spreadsheet ;D
