Packers' Iconic Lambeau Field Tops Surprising Sports Venue Rankings

In a recent ranking of all U.S. based sports venues, Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers, emerged as the top-ranked stadium across the NFL, MLB, and NBA.

This comprehensive list, ranked 1-90, was compiled by Brooksgate, a popular account on X (formerly known as Twitter), and was based on average review ratings from Yelp, Google, TripAdvisor, and Facebook, per the account.

Lambeau Field, open since 1957, and often referred to as "The Frozen Tundra," has a rich history coupled with a passionate Packers fanbase. The stadium is renowned for its intimate atmosphere, where fans feel incredibly close to the action, and its storied legacy, hosting countless iconic NFL moments. Reviewers on various platforms praised the venue's ambiance, historic significance, and the warm, engaging experiences provided by the Packers' community.

Close behind at No. 2 overall was PNC Park, the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates since 2001, making it the highest-ranked MLB stadium. Reviewers highlighted its stunning views of the Pittsburgh skyline and the Allegheny River, as well as its fan-friendly design and atmosphere. The park's combination of aesthetic appeal and comfort has made it a favorite destination for baseball fans.

The Miami Heat's Kaseya Center, formerly American Airlines Arena, opened in 1999, emerged as the top-ranked NBA arena ranked ninth. Kaseya Center received accolades for its modern facilities, vibrant game-day atmosphere, and exceptional location in downtown Miami, on the Biscayne Bay. Fans and visitors appreciated the arena's amenities, accessibility, and the high-energy environment that the Heat organization cultivates.

Conversely, some stadiums did not fare as well in the rankings. The Washington Commanders' Field, formerly FedExField, built in 1997, was ranked as the worst stadium among the NFL, MLB, and NBA venues, positioned at No. 90. The stadium has faced criticism over the years for its aging infrastructure, subpar fan experience, and logistical challenges. Reviewers expressed disappointment with various aspects of their visits, including issues with parking, seating, and overall maintenance.

In the MLB, the Oakland Coliseum, opened in 1966, was ranked as the worst stadium, coming in at No. 89. The Coliseum has long been criticized for its outdated facilities, poor field conditions, and lack of amenities. Fans and players alike have voiced concerns over the years, leading to the venue’s notorious reputation. After the 2024 season, the Oakland Athletics will no longer hold their home games there.

The worst-ranked NBA arena was the Golden 1 Center, home of the Sacramento Kings, which came in at No. 86. Despite being one of the newer arenas, opened in 2016, the Golden 1 Center has struggled to impress visitors, who have cited issues with its design and overall game-day experience.
