The National Football League is the biggest and most popular football league in the world, with teams based across the US. However, College Football is also extremely popular, especially with fans inside the United States and there some impressive stadiums.
Such is the incredible choice of football stadiums in the US, it is difficult to narrow it down to just 3 but that is exactly what we have done, beginning with the U.S. Bank Stadium.
The U.S. Bank Stadium is the home of the Minnesota Vikings and was opened in 2016, making it one of the most recent additions to the NFL circuit. Constructed on the former site of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, the U.S. Bank Stadium is classed as an indoor arena due to the fact it has an enormous translucent roof but it gives the feel of being outside when attending a game. However, due to the translucent roof, fans can enjoy the big game whatever the weather and the U.S. Bank Stadium is easily one of the most comfortable football stadiums in the country. Such is the quality of the stadium, it was chosen to host Super Bowl LII just two years after its construction, with over 65,00 fans in attendance to watch the Philadelphia Eagles triumph over the New England Patriots.

For our next must visit football stadium in the US, we switch to College Football and the Michigan Stadium. Sometimes, you simply cannot beat a stadium due to its sheer size and the Michigan Stadium is not only the largest stadium of any sports in the US but the whole of the Western Hemisphere. In fact, there are only two stadiums in the world that have a larger capacity than the Michigan Stadium and when it is full, the atmosphere is incredible. The official capacity of the venue is currently set at 107,601 but there have been crowds that have exceeded that number, including the 115,109 that witnessed Michigan defeat Notre Dame. The number remains a NCAA collegiate football attendance record and it is unlikely to be beaten any time soon. The Michigan Stadium is known as "The Big House" and it is easy to see why.
Back to the NFL and another of the leading US football stadiums can be found in Dallas. The AT&T Stadium is home to the Dallas Cowboys and has an official capacity of 80,000 but it can be extended to 105,000, which was the case when the Dallas Cowboys met the New York Giants December 2009.
