Several years ago, Jim Caple at ESPN did a season-long tour of MLB stadiums in which he ranked each team's venue from a score derived from ten different categories (or something like that). The scores weren't perfect, and there was room for disagreement, but overall, it was a great series to follow, given the depth of analysis for each team. By contrast, this is a list that seems like it was scratched together on a long plane ride. The writer is glaringly inconsistent in some of his points and, as just about everyone else has said, ludicrously labels as a warzone an area that basically has distinguished itself by its barrenness.

While I haven't been to Arrowhead, I'm assuming a more seriously contemplated list of NFL stadiums would have it ranked near the top. Additionally, Ralph Wilson would probably register a much higher ranking, and the writer himself actually makes the case for RW being higher in his description of it, despite his ranking of it as #20.
I was at Arrowhead in January (not the playoff game), and I really wasn't very impressed by the stadium, particularly the 2009 re-design. Cool atmosphere and everything, but the stadium struck me as a big, old building which wasn't improved in any way by the renovations, and the upper deck is a pain in the butt to navigate, as parts of the upperdeck just end, and then you have to go down/up a level to reach the next quarter of the stadium.

Ford Field is the most impressive sports venue I have ever been in. But there are a whole bunch of NFL venues (including FedEx) that I've never been to.
