The following is a chronology of NFL home stadiums, that is, all home stadiums of teams currently playing in the National Football League (NFL), and their locations and capacities. 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). It is ordered by the conference and division to which the team belongs.{{Cite web |year=2000 |title=NFL Stadium History (1920–2000) |url=http://law.marquette.edu/s3/site/images/sports/NFLSTADIUMHISTORY_2000.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070221084649/http://law.marquette.edu/s3/site/images/sports/NFLSTADIUMHISTORY_2000.pdf |archive-date=2007-02-21 |access-date=2007-04-09 |publisher=Maquette University Law School, Sports Law Program}} note: PDF file
Soldier Field in Chicago, home of the Chicago Bears is the oldest stadium in the league having opened in 1924. The stadium that has been used the longest by an NFL team is Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers since 1957.
Stadiums represent a considerable expense to a community, and thus their construction, use, and funding often enters the public discourse.{{Cite news |date=2006-04-27 |title=In a league of its own |newspaper=The Economist |url=http://www.economist.com/business/displaystory.cfm?story_id=6859210 |access-date=2006-10-18}} 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.
