Sports Illustrated "Fan Value"

[Volusianator]

SI did an article on how different NFL venues stacked up from the commute, to tailgating to taking one's seat, from ticket prices to availability, from the quality of the tailgating to the comfort of the seats and of course attending the game itself. 17,000 fans voted and the results can be seen here.

I don't even need to look Wade... I know it's the Pack, congratulations:cryloud:

No worries, the Bears came in at #20!

I will look but I know the Packs have to be at the top

Of course you had better makeit a good experience to get people to spend all day outside in freezing temps.

Giants Stadium sure is low on the list, I love going there though.

It damn well better be, tickets for this Sundays Packer/Viking game are going at $345 for end zone seats in the 45th row!

Well #1 on the best stadium with a team as good as the Packs, and record holder Favre as QB. II guess that's worth a little more $$$

I'm not surprised that the 49ers / Monster Park is near the bottom. It was a fun place 15-20 years ago, but it's a dump now. One of the oldest stadiums in the league, poor traffic access, high crime neighborhood and expensive concessions. The city of SF tried several times to get a new stadium built, but the voters rejected it (although they did opt for a new baseball stadium).
Hopefully the proposal to move the team down to Santa Clara and build a new stadium will go forward.

I usually attend 2-3 Ravens games every year (sister has season tickets) and Baltimore is a great, great place to see a game, tailgait, and I can always find free parking downtown.

The Redskins' stadium, since they moved from RFK (which was in DC and you could take the subway) is an absolute nightmare with traffic, parking fees, concessions. I hate it.

The Tampa description is accurate

Way to go Packers. Cannot wait until the new Texas Stadium is built!

From what I read in SI it's supposed to be AMAZING.

I've been to a half dozen Patriots games. Great fun tailgating and the team always wins. I've never seen them lose in person. But I'm dropping a minimum of $200 each time. That sucks.

I'd like to go to a Packers game. Who doesn't love Favre? And it's gotta be great fun watching all the cheeseheads.

Ouch! I can usually get Giants tickets for face value which is $90
