There are 32 NFL teams but only 30 NFL stadiums. Which stadiums are the biggest and smallest?

Biggest Capacity NFL Stadium

MetLife Stadium is the biggest NFL stadium by capacity: 82,500.ย 

MetLife Stadium opened in 2010 and is located five miles west of New York City in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It’s the home of the New York Giants and New York Jets.

MetLife Stadium cost $1.6 billion to build. At the time of its completion, it was the most expensive stadium ever built in the United States.
