2. Anfield
CenturyLink Field is rocking during a Seahawks game as the fans are some of loudest in the NFL having set the record for stadium noise level on a few occasions.

As a result of the small space, the upper deck is cantilevered meaning the seats are both closer to the field and at a steeper angle than any other stadium. The closeness to the field also creates great sightlines that are unparalleled in the NFL.
