They had 31 NFL writers rank the NFL’s five best and five worst stadiums (including three that hosted their final NFL games last season, and not including the two new ones opening this season). The article featured a couple paragraphs on the overall bottom-five and top-five lists. Overall it was an entertaining piece. State Farm Stadium was on the top-5 ballot of 7 writers, but came in at #8 overall.

Additionally:

Since all 31 stadiums received at least one vote on either the top-five or bottom-five list (some on both), here’s a ranking of the entire group.

1. U.S. Bank Stadium (Vikings)
2. CenturyLink Field (Seahawks)
3. AT&T Stadium (Cowboys)
4. Lambeau Field (Packers)
5. Arrowhead Stadium (Chiefs)
6. Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Falcons)
7. Soldier Field (Bears)
8. State Farm Stadium (Cardinals)
9. Lincoln Financial Field (Eagles)
10. Heinz Field (Steelers)

[....]

22. Bank of America Stadium (Panthers)
23. FirstEnergy Stadium (Browns)
24. New Era Field (Bills)
25. Hard Rock Stadium (Dolphins)
26. MetLife Stadium (Giants/Jets)
27. Paul Brown Stadium (Bengals)
28. L.A. Memorial Coliseum (Rams)
29. Oakland Coliseum (Raiders)
30. TIAA Bank Field (Jaguars)
31. FedExField (Washington)

Arrowhead Stadium only gets the great rating because of the fans and noise. Not the most comfortable stadium.

If the objective is winning, Cowboy stadium is a fiasco of bells and whistles where fan support is not an advantage there
