The NFL Stadiums Offering the Best Premium Experience

We set out to discover which NFL venues deliver the most impressive stadium experience of all.

As the NFL returns, fans across the United States are once again ready to pack out stadiums and cheer on their favorite teams.

For many, gameday traditions remain the same – tailgating in the parking lot, grabbing a hot dog, and watching action unfold from the stands.

For others, however, the gameday experience looks very different. In today’s landscape, fans willing to spend big can unlock a host of premium benefits that go far beyond the action on the turf.

Almost every stadium in the league now offers exclusive suites, VIP lounges, and all-access tours. These luxuries don’t come cheap, with some executive suites, like those at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium, costing as much as $75,000.

With NFL teams rolling out premium packages for the new season, the team here at Betway set out to discover which venues deliver the most impressive stadium experience of all.

Our research examines not only luxury add-ons but also the atmosphere and fan culture that make gameday special, combining tradition and exclusivity to reflect the true spirit of modern NFL stadiums.

The Top 15 can be seen below:

Arrowhead Stadium, the home of Kansas City Chiefs, tops the list with a huge score of 91.03. Its suite charge of $75,000, along with a $30 tour price, a 4.67 Google Review rating, and a 142-decibel atmosphere secures its title as the best NFL stadium experience.

The Detroit Lions’ Ford Field ranked in second place with strikingly similar scores. A $70,000 suite option demonstrates its capacity to accommodate exclusive groups, scoring well on Google with a rating of 4.58, and receives an atmosphere score of 93.6 (133 decibels). Even without a tour advertised, the stadium therefore scored an impressive 89.19.

In the bronze medal position is SoFi Stadium, home of both the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams, with a score of 85.25. Priced at $55, the stadium has the highest value tour of any other arena and provides a suite option for £50,000, which rates well.

While its Google Review score (4.39) and decibel level (117) are more modest, this is a classic case of a stadium that becomes more luxurious the more you spend.

The Green Bay Packers’ Lambeau Field, although ranked first for Google Reviews (4.8/5), placed ninth overall due to its average-priced Executive Suite and its absence of an advertised stadium tour. Although paradise to the average attendee, it appears that those seeking a more premium experience would be better served looking elsewhere.  

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Cincinnati Bengals are among the NFL sides whose stadiums rank outside of the top 15.

Methodology

To create the rankings, the Betway team assessed four key factors: the dollar value of stadium tours, the cost of exclusive suites, atmosphere (measured by crowd loudness in decibels), and Google Review ratings. Each factor was given a score out of 100 to ensure consistency across all categories.

Weighting was then applied to reflect the relative importance of each factor in shaping the overall fan experience. Google Review ratings were given the highest influence, weighted at ×2, as they capture the opinions of thousands of real fans.

Atmosphere (loudness) was weighted at ×1, while both luxury suite pricing and stadium tour value were weighted at ×0.5 each, acknowledging their importance but recognising that they apply to a smaller portion of attendees.

The weighted scores were combined and then divided by 3.5 (the total weighting) to produce a balanced Stadium Luxury Score for every venue.

Finally, scores were adjusted to fall within a range of 95 to 60, creating a clear and comparable ranking that highlights the most premium NFL stadium experiences.

Note: Stadiums with no cost data available for tours were assigned the average price ($23).

Note: Stadiums with no loudness data available were assigned the average decibel (117db).
