Football Stadiums: A Guide to Professional and Top College Stadiums

This is a nice reference to pro and college football stadiums in America. The NFL stadiums (along with Toronto's Rogers Centre, where the Buffalo Bills have played in the past) make up about half the book, and they are arranged by division. They are listed by team name, not stadium name, a good idea since pro stadium names change so often! The book is updated to the end of the 2012 season, so it does not include the newest stadiums like the new one in San Francisco. Each stadium gets four pages of coverage, including a description, photos and a data table that gives the significant parameters, along with a selection of noteworthy games. Colleges that play in these stadiums, though, get little or no mention.College stadiums make up most of the rest of the book, and the coverage is similar, except restricted to two pages each. The selection includes most of the major colleges, though the omissions of Georgia, Missouri (as mentioned by a previous reviewer) and Syracuse are particularly unfortunate. A few stadiums that do not currently host college teams but do host bowl games are also included. The stadiums are listed by stadium name, so if you don't know the actual name of a particular school's stadium, you will need to refer to the index. (A listing of college team nicknames is included in the index, but the name "Bulldogs" is missing, so those teams are incorrectly listed under the preceding name "Buffaloes".)There is also a shorter section showing stadiums that no longer exist or are no longer used; these are shown two to a page, with a small photo and data table. This includes all of the now-demolished multi-purpose "doughnut" stadiums that were so in vogue back in the 1960s.I wish that more aerial photos, or at least photos taken from the highest point in the stadiums, had been included, as it is difficult in some cases to see what the stadiums really look like, and the surrounding terrain, if distinctive, is also not always adequately shown (example: Sun Devil Stadium). Still, even with the imperfections, this is a useful reference and a good gift book.

For those interested in football and their various venues and stories … this is a large and thorough book, with colorful photos of most of the storied college and NFL stadiums in the country. Makes a fabulous gift for true football fans.

Full of information about NFL and College stadiums. If there's anything negative, it's almost too much information.

Got this for my dad for Christmas. He's obsessed with stadiums. This book is perfect because it has both pro and college stadium pictures and info.

I am so impressed by this book! I ordered it as a gift and was unsure of what to expect as there are no photos of the book itself (Just content/cover). Quality is great. Makes a really good gift!

This author did his research well. The photos are breathtaking and the copy is fact-filled and interesting. A good arm chair fan book

Great book for any nfl or sports fan in general love this book great find! Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do

I enjoyed reading it and the pictures of the stadiums. I have seen some of the stadiums in my travels in the states.

Top quality book with superb photographs of all current and past NFL stadiums and all major College stadiums. I'd have liked some pictures of the stadium interiors/concourses etc, however guess they'd need an even bigger book for that! Interesting facts/brief history on each stadium which was highly informative. Overall an excellent book for hardcore American Football supporters.

Good quality, thick book with plenty of colour photographs throughout. Ideal gift for NFL/football enthusiast. The description was poor but I took the gamble and really pleased with item received.

Great book very very pleased. Great value for money

Ich war auf der Suche nach einem Bildband über Sportarenen (weltweit).Leider findet man in Deutschland lediglich Fußballstadien (Allianz-Arena, Signal Iduna-Park, Liverpool) und dann auch nur in Europa. Da bei mir Interesse an US-Sport besteht, stieß ich zufällig auf einen englisch sprachigen Bildband.Man muss nur mal einen englischen Suchbegriff nutzen.Zum Buch320 Seitenalle Stadien der NFL-Teams (bis Seite 139)je Team mindestens 4 Seiten (1Seite Text und 3 mindestens Vollbilder)College Football Stadien (bis Seite 295)je Stadion 2 Seiten mit Text (1Vollbild und ein kleines Foto)berühmte oder abgerissene Stadien (bis Seite 315)pro Seite 2 Stadien mit Text und einem Fotozu jedem Stadion gibt es ein Kästchen Grunddaten (Eröffnung, Adresse, Kapazität, besondere Momente, Architekten, Kosten ...) und ein Artikel zum Stadionmit Ausnahme von Teil 3 (berühmte oder abgerissene Stadien) hat wirklich jedes Bild einen Kommentar (u.a.

アメリのNFLと大学のフットボールスタジアムの写真集。スタジアムを眺めて何が面白いんだ？という愚問はなしで・・・・＾＾旅行本と考えるもよし、スタジアムで繰り広げられるゲームを思い浮かべるもよしおすすめの本です。
