How many NFL stadiums can be seen from I-95? (in honor of Superbowl approaching ...)

[kwassa]

The ones I've seen that are right on it are the upcoming Superbowl site of Giants stadium in the Meadowlands of New Jersey, where many a body is buried ... to the Ravens in downtown Baltimore, and the Igls, er, Eagles, in downtown Philly. I guess the Redskins stadium can be seen from the Beltway, which is both 495 and 95 at that point .... what others? The Redskins might not be a real NFL team, judging only by this recently ended season.

This is a very important question that must be answered.

1. You can see Jacksonville's Everbank Stadium from 95

2. Thank you for adding to the list.

3. I think they still count as a "pro" team

[kwassa]

4. looking at Google maps ... the NY Jets are very close to 95 ...

The Patriots and the Dolphins are close, but not right on 95.

Not being from any of these areas, I have no idea what is visible.

6. Giants and Jets share metlife stadium

11. The stadium the Dolphins play at is about 3 miles or so from I 95

and not really visible from that freeway.

12. I'm guessing the Patriots are not visible either.

seem to be a couple miles away from 95.

14. Yeah....trees and whatnot in the way.

I've been up and down I95 so many times i've lost count, from it's beginning on US 1 in Miami to about 75 miles from it's end in Maine. It is one of only 3 or 4 interstates in this country that I haven't been completely end to end on.

But yeah, that section near Foxboro has lots of trees. If you were maybe 50' above the highway you could see it!

19. Actually, you can see it from 95.....

....but only if you are going southbound on the Golden Glades flyover and look out to the right.

The Florida Turnpike, on the other hand, goes right by it. It actually has its own dedicated exit.

18. It's a little difficult, though.

The stadium is tucked away east of downtown so it's not immediately adjacent to 95. But when you are crossing over the St. John's you get a quick glimpse, and I believe once again a little further south.

5. You can see the Charlotte Panthers Stadium from I-95

[kwassa]

7. Well, with my x-ray vision, I certainly can.

I can also see Russia from the Seahawks stadium.

8. I 85 certainly. I 77 yes. I 95 is 100+ miles away. n/t

17. If you're flying over I-95 in an SR-71, maybe

9. Lincoln Financial Field, in Philadelphia...

Where the Eagles play is right on I 95

[kwassa]

10. I drove by it this weekend, which is what sparked my thoughts ....

on this very subject.

13. The routing and labeling of 95 through Philly is weird.

If you look at a map of it, 95 goes north through town then turns into I 295! The NJ TPKE eventually becomes 95, but it always seems confused to me! It's not as if it hooks right back to the turnpike. It connects back to it either via 295 or 195.

15. I almost encountered an individual walking on the I 95 freeway in Philly.

Right before 676, he was walking down the freeway with his back turned toward traffic. I was able to safely swerve enough not to hit him. I'll never forget it, though. He wandered over to the side of the road. Fortunately traffic was light, though moving fast.

20. The official list (I'm something of a stadium geek):

MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford (Jets/Giants)
Lincoln Financial Field (Eagles)
M&T Bank Stadium (Ravens)
FedEx Field (Redskins)
Everbank Field (Jaguars)--Visible from the St. John's River Bridge
Joe Robbie Stadium (Dolphins)--Visible from the Golden Glades flyover ramp

The Redskins used to play in RFK Stadium, which I don't believe was visible from 95. And the Ravens former home, as well as the old home of the Colts, was Memorial Stadium, which was nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood miles away from any expressway.

As an aside, Met Life Stadium has to be the ugliest/most boring major league sporting venue in the entire country:





Yuck.

Not that you asked, but major league baseball venues that are visible from I-95 include:

Citizens Bank Park (Phillies)
Oriole Park at Camden Yards (Orioles)
Marlins Park (Marlins)

While the Boston, New York, and Washington DC areas are all serviced by I-95, their stadiums are not visible from I-95. They are visible from other expressways, however.
