It contains all past and present (in bold) home stadiums used by the current 32 members of the National Football League since 1920, along with future home stadiums presently under construction (in italics immediately above the present stadium).

Lambeau Field, built in 1957, is the oldest stadium currently in use professionally and the stadium with the earliest tenancy, although it has undergone extensive renovations during their history. The oldest NFL stadium is the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which was built in 1921, but had been unoccupied by a professional team since 1994. With the Rams relocating to Los Angeles the Coliseum will be used as a temporary home for the team for three seasons until their new stadium in Inglewood is completed. The newest NFL stadium is U.S. Bank Stadium, the home of the Minnesota Vikings.
Stadiums represent a considerable expense to a community, and thus their construction, use, and funding often enters the public discourse. Also, given the perceived advantage a team gets from playing in their home stadium, particular attention is given in the media to the peculiarities of each stadium's environment. Weather, playing surface (either natural or artificial turf), and the presence or lack of a roof or dome all contribute to giving each team its home-field advantage.
