From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michigan Stadium
is the largest American football stadium by seating capacity.
The following is an incomplete list of current
American football stadiums in the USA
ranked by capacity. All stadiums in the list are located in the
United States
. The list contains the home stadiums of all 32 professional teams playing in the
NFL
as well as the largest stadiums used by
college football
teams in the
NCAA
. The largest stadium used by a professional team falls at number 15 on the list. Not included are several large stadiums used by teams in the now-defunct
NFL Europa
, as these were all built for and used mainly for
association football
, or
Rogers Centre
, located in Canada (although it does host occasional American football games). Currently American football stadiums with a capacity of 25,000 or more are included.
Stadiums are ordered by
seating capacity
. This is intended to represent the permanent fixed seating capacity, when the stadium is configured for football. Some stadiums can accommodate larger crowds when configured for other sports, or by using temporary seating or allowing standing-room only attendance.
