NFL: 5 Teams with the Biggest Home-Field Advantages

Each weekend during the fall hundreds of thousands of football fans across America deck themselves out in the regalia of their home squad and head off to one of 16 stadiums to cheer their home teams on to victory.

Each stadium—and fans—has its own personality, and some venues are certainly easier to play in than others.

The following handful of pigskin shrines make the visiting team's job just that much harder.

No. 5: Green Bay Packers

Lambeau Field

Opened: 1957

Capacity: 73,128

Lambeau Field isn't the largest stadium in the National Football League, nor is it the loudest, but the Green Bay Packers fanbase is as enthusiastic as any in the league, and they "pack" the place with regularity in the hopes of seeing the home team do plenty of Lambeau leaps.

Lord knows they've seen enough of them this year.

No. 4: Denver Broncos

Sports Authority Field at Mile High

Opened: 2001

Capacity: 76,125

Not only do opposing teams have to worry about 75,000 rabid fans when facing the Broncos in Denver, the stadium's altitude and thin air can mean impossibly long kicks, winded players, and of course...

Tebow Time!

No. 3: New Orleans Saints

Mercedes-Benz Superdome

Opened: 1975

Capacity: 76,468

After being heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the Superdome has been repaired and is undergoing a series of multimillion dollar renovations. While the same cannot unfortunately be said for the city of New Orleans, thousands of fans still flock to one of the NFL's loudest venues for each home game.

No. 2: Kansas City Chiefs

Arrowhead Stadium

Opened: 1972

Capacity: 76,416

The Kansas City Chiefs haven't given their fans much to cheer about over the past several seasons, but that doesn't stop thousands of Chiefs fans from trekking to venerable Arrowhead Stadium every week.

Arrowhead remains one of the most inhospitable locales in the National Football League for opposing teams.

No. 1: Seattle Seahawks

CenturyLink Field

Opened: 2002

Capacity: 67,000

Whether it's the design of their state-of-the-art stadium or the vociferousness of the Seattle Seahawks fans—who have taken the moniker "The 12th Man" very seriously—crowd noise at CenturyLink Field is so deafening that it regularly causes opposing teams to commit false start penalties and even registered on the Richter Scale during a 2010 playoff game against the New Orleans Saints (via King5.com).

Crowdquakes: Now that's a home-field advantage.
