I'm curious to hear which stadiums you've seen and what you liked/disliked about them.

Other than Gillette I've only been to see the Pats play the Arizona Cardinals at Sun Devil Stadium. It had metal bleacher seats just like the old Foxboro stadium, but the upper level was incredibly steep and the concessions were terrible (watered down beer..etc.) I guess it works for college, but a crappy place for a Pro team. Looks like the new stadium is pretty nice.

Ralph Wilson - Buffalo [like it a lot, old school stadium, lots of character]

Bank of America - Carolina [nothing necessarily notable other than it's in downtown Charlotte]

Reliant Stadium - Houston [it's blasphemy to say this, but kind of cool for a dome]

Super Dome - New Orleans [bad memories, was there for Super Bowls XX and XXXI]

Cleveland Browns Stadium - Cleveland [no frills, but I love the design, keeps the noise in well]

Fedex Field - Washington [fairly mundane stadium, loud though]

Pro Player Stadium - Miami [not too bad, tailgating in the grass lots makes it worth it]

Baltimore Memorial Stadium - Baltimore [it's defunct now, but was a fun place to watch a game, you were super close to the action there - saw Bledsoe's Pats beat Testeverde's Ravens there in '96]

All incarnations of the Patriots' stadium - Schaefer, Sullivan, Gillette

Gillette Stadium (Patriots): My home away from home. It is what it is. Comfortable but not intimate enough.

Foxboro Stadium (Patriots): Trying to get to the restroom was a death-defying feat. But it was a fun place to watch a game and the noise level trumped Gillette.

Ralph Wilson Stadium (Bills): Pretty utilitarian place, nothing special to recommend it. Seems to lack character. Concourses are dark, concessions generic, only one big screen. The big plus is they let you hang around down close to the field while teams are warming up no matter where your seats are.

Soldier Field (Bears): I went there a bunch of times before the rehab; had more seats in the end zones than along the sidelines back then. The pillars on the east side were cool. Great fans.

Metropolitan Stadium (Vikings): Long gone ... A baseball park, but fun, intimate place to watch a football game.

Old sombrero (Buccaneers): Also defunct, nothing special.

Reliant Stadium (Texans): Was there for Super Bowl 38. Very impressive place, one of the best I've seen. Big roomy concourses, great eats and drinks, excellent sight lines.

FedEx Field (Redskins): I liked it. Stands seem close to the field and holds noise well.

Alltel Stadium (Jaguars): Was there for Super Bowl 39. Big, generic stadium. Concourses got jammed big-time, kind of uncomfortable place with little character.

Giants Stadium (Jets/Giants): Good place to see a game, great sight lines. For a big stadium it seems kind of cozy. Concessions are basic.

Baltimore -- forget what it's called now (Ravens): Cool place, built for football only. Modern, comfortable, intimate, with big concourses and nice eats/drinks. Fans are really enthusiastic.

Heinz Field (Steelers): Good place to watch a game. Steelers fans are maniacs, and very loud. Stadium is kind of ugly with all those yellow seats.

Husky Stadium in Seattle (when the Kingdome was blown up) Typical college stadium - loud and a great place to watch a game.
Q'West Field - lots of people love it out here on the west coast. It is nice, hate the field turf - loud, tonnes of amenities. Am so excited that the Pats are out here for an exhibition next summer. My first opportunity to see the Patriots live. I live approx. 2 hours to the north, just over the Cdn. border. The bottom bowl is super close to the action. The upper bowl has rows and rows of seats I believe 50 rows from the start of the upper bowl to the very top. Saw Bledsoe throw the Cowboys game away last year.

Gillette Stadium - once, hoping for another next year.
Old Cleveland Stadium - dozens of times in the '80s in high school.
New Cleveland Stadium - for their return game in '99.
LA Coliseum - when the Raiders were there.
Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego.

That's about it. With a 6 and 8 year old my wife and I don't get around as much as we'd like.

I was also at a game at Fenway Park years ago. What a psycho place for a football game with all its weird angles and dimensions! I could swear a punt almost caromed off the Green Monster. ROFL

Also, Candlestick Park and Stanford Stadium (49ers).

Sadly I've only been to ones that no longer exist: Three Rivers in Pittsburgh, Memorial Stadium in Baltimore and Sullivan.

The best thing about all of them, frankly, is that they've been replaced.
