Chronology of home stadiums for current NFL teams

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a chronology of National Football League home stadiums, that is, all home stadiums of teams currently playing in the National Football League (NFL), and their locations and capacities. It contains all past and present (in bold) home stadiums used by the current 32 members of the National Football League since 1920, along with future home stadiums presently under construction (in italics immediately above the present stadium). It is ordered by the conference and division to which the team belongs.[1]

Soldier Field in Chicago, home of the Chicago Bears is the oldest stadium in the league having opened in 1924. The stadium that has been used the longest by an NFL team is Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers since 1957.

Stadiums represent a considerable expense to a community, and thus their construction, use, and funding often enters the public discourse.[2] Also, given the perceived advantage a team gets from playing in their home stadium, particular attention is given in the media to the peculiarities of each stadium's environment. Weather, playing surface (either natural or artificial turf), and the presence or lack of a roof or dome all contribute to giving each team its home-field advantage.

Temporary home stadiums

[edit]

Occasionally, a team's home games are moved from their usual site to another location, usually either due to natural disasters, or to the stadium being in use for other events. The list of temporary home stadiums is ordered by the date on which the game using the temporary location was played.

Date played Stadium Visiting team Home team Rationale
October 10, 1921 Staley Field Rock Island Independents Chicago Staleys Although the Staleys moved from Decatur, Illinois to Chicago prior to the 1921 season, they decided to play a home game in their old city and stadium.[16]
December 18, 1932 Chicago Stadium Portsmouth Spartans Chicago Bears The 1932 NFL playoff game was moved indoors because of severe blizzards in Chicago.[17]
September 22, 1968 Legion Field, Birmingham, Ala. New York Jets Boston Patriots Boston Red Sox refused to rent Fenway Park to Boston Patriots until American League Championship Series and, if necessary, World Series concluded.
October 5, 1969[18] Grant Field Baltimore Colts Atlanta Falcons A baseball playoff game hosted by the Atlanta Braves forced the Falcons to move their contest from Fulton County Stadium.[19]
Memorial Stadium Green Bay Packers Minnesota Vikings A baseball playoff game hosted by the Minnesota Twins forced the Vikings to move their contest from Metropolitan Stadium.[20]
September 27, 1970 Dyche Stadium Philadelphia Eagles Chicago Bears As part of a trial run. In 1970, the NFL ruled that all teams must play in stadiums that seated more than 50,000 fans, and the Bears were forced to leave Wrigley Field. Ultimately, a deal to play permanently at Dyche Stadium fell through, forcing the Bears to return to Wrigley for the remainder of the 1970 season. The team moved to Soldier Field in 1971.[21]
September 23, 1973 California Memorial Stadium Miami Dolphins Oakland Raiders The Raiders moved their game from the Oakland Coliseum to accommodate a larger crowd to see the defending Super Bowl VII champion Dolphins.[22]
October 22, 1989 Stanford Stadium New England Patriots San Francisco 49ers Candlestick Park, the then-home of the 49ers, was damaged by the Loma Prieta earthquake.[23]
October 27, 2003 Sun Devil Stadium Miami Dolphins San Diego Chargers Qualcomm Stadium was being used as a major evacuation site during the Cedar Fire.[24]
September 19, 2005 Giants Stadium New York Giants New Orleans Saints Hurricane Katrina forced the Saints out of New Orleans. The NFL decided that the Saints' first regularly scheduled home game against the Giants be played in New Jersey, with the Saints the home team in name only.[25] For the rest of the season, the Saints played three games at the Alamodome and four games at LSU's Tiger Stadium (LSU) (see above).
December 13, 2010 Ford Field New York Giants Minnesota Vikings The Metrodome suffered severe damage on December 12 during a blizzard, in which the weight of the snow accumulated on its Teflon-coated roof tore it open.[26] Because of the short notice, the game between the Giants and the Vikings was moved to Detroit's Ford Field, in part because the Giants did not pack any cold weather gear on their trip, expecting to play indoors, and because Fox Sports was able to keep all their broadcast equipment in place after the Packers/Lions game the day before.[27] Because it would take longer than a week to repair the Metrodome, the Vikings' next home game against the Bears was instead held locally outdoors at TCF Bank Stadium.[28]
December 20, 2010 TCF Bank Stadium Chicago Bears
November 24, 2014 Ford Field New York Jets Buffalo Bills A massive blizzard in western New York forced the game to be moved from Buffalo's Ralph Wilson Stadium to Detroit, and postponed from Sunday to Monday night.[29]
December 7, 2020 State Farm Stadium Buffalo Bills San Francisco 49ers On November 30, Santa Clara County imposed a ban on all contact sports for three weeks due to rising COVID-19 cases. As a result, the 49ers were forced to play home games and practice from out-of-county, away from Levi's Stadium. The team used Arizona's State Farm Stadium as a temporary venue for Weeks 13 and 14. After the ban on contact sports was extended thru January 8, the 49ers announced that their Week 17 regular season finale against the Seattle Seahawks would be played in Arizona as well.[30]

September 12, 2021 TIAA Bank Field Green Bay Packers New Orleans Saints Hurricane Ida severely damaged New Orleans, including major damage to electric transmission lines causing nearly all of the city to lose power; restoration of power was expected to take weeks.[31] The Saints used Jacksonville's TIAA Bank Field for its Week 1 matchup against the Packers.[32]
November 20, 2022 Ford Field Cleveland Browns Buffalo Bills A massive blizzard in western New York forced the game to be moved from Buffalo's Highmark Stadium to Detroit.[33]
