#4 Lumen Field (home of NFL team Seattle Seahawks)

The reason that the Seahawks' NFL home is ranked so high on the list is due to its fans, the 12th man!

When Tod Leiweke was hired as the Seahawks' new CEO in 2003, he had a large flagpole installed at the south end to fly the 12th Man Flag as a tribute to the team's 12th man. The organization retired the number in 1984 to honor the 12th man.

Local celebrities, sometimes former Seahawks, raise the flag during NFL network television pre-game events. The Seahawks currently refer to their fans as the 12s.

Seahawks fans at Lumen Field have twice claimed the Guinness World Record for the loudest crowd roar at an outdoor stadium, first at 136.6 decibels in 2013, followed by a measurement of 137.6 decibels the next year.

Originally called the Seahawks Stadium, it has been renamed several times and is currently known as Lumen Field. It has views of the downtown Seattle skyline and a seating capacity of 68,740 spectators for NFL games.

#5 Allegiant Stadium (home to NFL team Las Vegas Raiders)

The newest stadium in the NFL, the Raiders’ new home, is a sight to behold.

It’s a 10-level domed stadium featuring a roof, silver and black exterior with light-up strips, a 275 feet (84 m) media mesh video screen facing Interstate 15 and large retractable curtain-like side windows facing the Las Vegas Strip.

The north end zone area in front of the retractable windows contains a large torch that houses a flame in honor of Al Davis, the late long-time owner of the Raiders. The torch is 85 feet (26 m) tall and is currently the largest 3D printed object in the world.

The stadium, which Raiders owner Mark Davis nicknamed the 'Death Star', has a roll-in natural bermuda grass field similar to the one at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

It has a crowd capacity of 65,000 that can be expanded to 72,000. The Allegiant Stadium is set to host the NFL Pro Bowl in 2022.
