CenturyLink Field in Seattle is home to the "12th Man". Normal football teams only field 11 players, but the Seahawks' fans essentially count as an extra player due to their interaction and noise level. The stadium is situated within walking distance to the Downtown and Pioneer Square areas, so fans can continue partying after a team win.

The average Cheesehead has to wait 30 years to get season tickets at Lambeau Field, the NFL's second oldest stadium. Nicknamed the "Frozen Tundra," opposing teams often have difficulty adjusting to the adverse weather conditions, which bodes well for the home Packers.

Home of the Baltimore Orioles, Oriole Park and Camden Yards sits on the bucket list of many a baseball fan. Whether or not it's a game day, visitors can look for brass baseballs in the sidewalks outside the stadium, marking where home runs have landed, or pay respect to the greats along the Orioles Hall of Fame.

Fenway Park is one of Major League Baseball’s last remaining cathedrals, and home to the beloved Boston Red Sox. Erected in 1912, the field is nestled right in the heart of the city. Though baseball is the draw, the experience is not complete without Fenway Franks and Landsdowne street vendor sausages. Fenway Park baseball is unique due to the presence of the 37-foot-wall in left field known as “the Green Monstah."
