Stadiums and sports facilities The United States Of America

The Barclays Center is the Brooklyn arena that came into being in 2012. The arena hosts the NBA team Brooklyn Nets (the rivals of the Knicks, who play at Madison Square Garden) but also the hockey team Islanders, rivals of the New York Rangers. Many concerts are also organized there, Beyoncé, MGMT and Bob Dylan are regulars. Jay-Z too, in fact the Brooklyn rapper was the first to perform on the Barclays stage a week after it opened. Until 2013, Jay-Z was also one of the shareholders of the Nets franchise.

This is the home of the Giants and Jets American football teams, located in New Jersey but which represent the colours of New York. In February 2014, the stadium hosted the Super Bowl XLVIII, the final of the American football championship, the country's largest sporting event. There is no subway to MetLife Stadium, but it can be reached by New Jersey Transit or Long Island Rail Road commuter trains from Penn Station, or by Metro-North RailRoad from Grand Central Terminal.

Opened in 2016, US Bank Stadium is the largest stadium in Minnesota with a capacity of 73,000. It is the home of the Vikings, the local American soccer team, whose name echoes the Swedish origins of some Minnesotans. With only 4 SuperBowls (NFL championship finals) to its credit, all of them lost, the Vikings are far from the high level of their neighbors from Green Bay. Due to its huge capacity, the stadium also hosts huge concerts, such as Rammstein in the summer of 2022.

During the baseball season, be sure to catch a game of Milwaukee's Brewers team. Their stadium, formerly Miller Park, opened in 2001 and has a high-tech retractable roof that allows for all-weather play. To attend the games, it is best to book in advance on the website. Those who do not come especially for the game but to experience the atmosphere (it is really worth it) will be able to take the cheapest seats, even if they bring binoculars.

It is the city's new stadium that replaced the aging Bradley Center in August 2018. The stadium, inaugurated in 1988, was demolished and the Bucks, the basketball team, moved into their brand new stadium, which can accommodate up to 17,000 people. It is here that we will come to admire the prodigy Giánnis Antetokoúnmpo. In addition to sporting events, there are concerts and shows. It is located in the heart of the city and is easily accessible.

The mythical stadium of the city's football team, the Green Bay Packers, who hold the record for the most championship titles (thirteen, including four superbowls). Watching the Packers play at home is an experience in itself, so much so that one feels carried away by the fervour of the audience. The team is the pride of the people of the state. It is possible to take part in guided tours of the stadium every day of the year. Three types of tours are offered: the Classic Tour, the Champions Tour and the Legendary Tour (access to the VIP box and changing rooms).

This is the city's stadium, which was inaugurated in 1975. Whether you want to watch the Hartford Wolf Pack (the town's hockey team) play, support the UConn Huskies (the basketball team representing the University of Connecticut), attend a pop concert or a professional wrestling match, the XL Center is the place to be in Hartford. Unlike many stadiums, it has the advantage of being located in the heart of downtown, close to the train station, so you can walk to it. On match nights, the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed.
