I doubt the average person could identify one stadium, much less 5.

So far the people I've asked here in the building have identified one, which is "where the Seahawks play" (Centurylink)

If you're talking about taing away the sports fans view then

Superdome
Texas Stadium

Nothing else, because why the hell would you recognize it if you don't know shite about sports. You've got Superdome because of Katrina and Texas Stadium because of the hole in the roof. And I'm reaching with Texas Stadium.

How can you talk about sports stadiums and not take a sports fan's view? Pretty silly if you ask me.

Fenway and Wrigley are two I think most could ID due to the unique features in both.

Other than those it would be tough to a non sports person.

Is there a sporcle for this?

The Dome is definitely up there with all of the events it has hosted. I wish they would do like MSG and have all of the big events wrapped around the concourse with pictures and dates.

Wrigley's sign is what people will identify and the Green Giant for Fenway. But as far as picking it out of a group, the Superdome is pretty recognizable to a greater group of people.


And for shits and giggles...

no, it's because it was plastered all over the news during Katrina. it's easily one of the most recognizable because of that

This is why. Its not because it hosted super bowls (non sports fans, right) or concerts or anything like that.

Yea. Not to mention it's in the U2 video so millions around the world who don't know who the New Orleans Saints are could recognize the Superdome.

Until Katrina most people from outside this area didn't know what the Superdome looked like. Why would they?

There are a ton of non-sports fans who watch the super bowl for the commercials and for the halftime entertainment.....

doubtful. Super Bowl is pretty much watched by everyone these days. So 7 super bowls, 4 National Championships, Ali's fight, Final 4's, RNC, concerts, Mardi Gras, etc.

It was also a big deal nationally when it was built

Katrina certainly helped
