Former NFL Stadiums
Before the era of football-only stadiums, many NFL teams played in baseball parks, college stadiums or shared multipurpose venues. Later, domed stadiums were built to attract teams and big events, and several of them were replaced within a few decades.
Each venue below hosted an NFL team for at least part of its life. Where a team moved to a new stadium, the venue page links to the replacement.
