Paradise, Nevada in the context of List of current National Football League stadiums

This list of current National Football League (NFL) stadiums includes their locations, capacities, year opened, and home teams. Although the NFL has 32 teams, there are only 30 full-time NFL stadiums, as the New York Giants and New York Jets share MetLife Stadium, and the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams share SoFi Stadium.

The newest full-time NFL stadiums are SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. Both stadiums opened for the 2020 season. Soldier Field in Chicago is the oldest, having opened in 1924; however, the Bears did not play at Soldier Field until 1971 and did not play there in 2002 while the stadium was under reconstruction, and thus the oldest continuously operating stadium in the NFL is Lambeau Field, hosting the Green Bay Packers since its opening in 1957.
