There is a lot of weird poo on that list. Some parts seem like misapplied complaints from this board.

From the Browns stadium review:

What we didn’t like: The Atmosphere- “A less than ideal place to watch a game with average historical significance: a shiny, new toy where the old broken one once sat. The major problem is the stadium security taking fan complaints too far; stories of fans being told to sit because they are standing and cheering are a far cry from the original Dawg Pound that gave this rabid fanbase the reputation it deserves.”

Ray Jay:

What we didn’t like: The Fans- “Buccaneer fans are a strange lot. With Tampa Bay being a transient community (most residents were born in the Northeast or Midwest), some in the fan base have divided loyalty to the team and the old team they grew up watching.”

Also unexpected that they'd brag on our tailgating. I know some people on this board would vehemently deny this:

What we liked: The Neighborhood- “Tailgating is a must when you come to Charlotte; you can look across the parking lots and see people grilling, throwing the football and playing beer pong and the bean bag toss game.”

Did an 8th grader write that article? That was terrible.

falcons second to last, and their fans still think the GA Dome is God's gift to the world

He knows. Just too scared to call it what it is.

HAha, I like our ranking, but the reasons for our ranking have to be the stupidest reasons I've ever read in the history of my life.

My son who is 8 wrote that I seems like... But I'll take a #9 ranking!

The closer you park, the more you pay. I paid $30 to park and I was on the back side of the stadium, and the walking distance was easy. They also have plenty of porta-potties and a large trash bin. I would definitely recommend tailgating, because everyone does it.

Whomever wrote this most likely tailgated with my group. You all are welcome.

I can vouch for this.

It's a midwesterner's game. Alot of areas of the country haven't been invaded by Ohioans as much as this part.

The review is really just a matter of preference, and a matter of intended use and individual behavior.

Public transportation is great, if you intend to use it. If you come to tailgate, then you'd never notice the public transportation. Whether or not you drive from out of town is important.

In one review, he criticized a stadium because all you could see was "parking lots and trees". Seeing a parking lot up close means the access couldn't be better for tailgaters. Seeing a lot of trees is a problem why???

And what constitutes a well behaved fan? A quiet fan? An enthusiastic fan? A rowdy fan? A belligerent fan? A fan who stays win or lose? A fan who makes noise the whole time an opponents offense is on the field? A fan who only makes noise when its the opponents third down?

He said that Carolina fans were seen grilling and playing cornhole. Sounds like a Sunny day in Carolina. Think the experience would be the same on a rainy day?

Parking around BoA is all over the place. You've never know where you'll end up, and if you're not careful you can lost easily. The fans are separated from each other by roads, businesses, fences, etc.etc.etc. and yet we're great at tailgating. Maybe that means taht fans are doing a great job of tailgating privately, but I think its a hard case to make that its a true tailgate where hundreds of vehicles are lined up to create a long alley of tailgaters.

The review depends on a lot factors which change with each game, the weather, the opponent, the outcome fo the game, the time of the year, and the demographic of the reviewing fan. It is anything but objective.

all i know is i went to Texas and they were playing "washers"

aside from the obvious difference (throwing large washers instead of beanbags/cornbags) you have for wooden chair-shaped targets.
