Ranking every NFL stadium by age from oldest to newest

Ranking every NFL stadium by age from oldest to newest

Luke Loffredo, Saints WireMon, June 8, 2026 at 1:55 PM UTC·2 min read

Just a little while ago here on the site, we ranked all 32 NFL franchises based on the quality of their logos. Today, we're taking a similar approach, but this time we'll be ranking every NFL team according to the age of its home stadium.

A team's stadium is much more than just a venue. It's where franchises build their identity, create lasting memories, and battle their opponents every Sunday. It's also the gathering place for generations of fans who come together to support the team they love, creating the atmosphere and traditions that make each stadium unique.

From historic venues that have stood for decades to state-of-the-art facilities that have only recently opened their doors, every NFL stadium tells a story. With that in mind, let's take a look at where each team's home ranks from oldest to newest across the league.
