Where is your stadium?

I'm looking for some interesting (default scenery) sports stadiums, preferable with NFL logos. The only one I have found with a logo is in Oakland (Raiders). Yes, I know they don't play there anymore.
From KMIA (Miami) you can take off to the east and see the Orange Bowl (generic football stadium, home of the UM Hurricanes) to the south, American Airlines Arena (basketball) to the east and if you go north Pro Player Stadium (baseball layout but the Dolphins play there, too).
Tampa Stadium (Buccaneers) is just south of KTPA, another generic football field.
There is a generic baseball stadium north of KSFO (Candlestick Park?).
So has anyone found any other stadiums that are recognizable or have recognizable logos?

The Dome in Tacoma, WA is in the simulator. I've been to it in real life

Thanks, I was looking for more like directions from major airports to stadiums - I've flown around a lot of cities looking for them. Non-American stadiums would be acceptable, I'm just looking for major stadiums with logos - or major stadiums in general.

maybe check out Sky-Dome in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Not an NFL venue but worlds first retractable roof stadium. Home to the AL Blue Jays and CFL Argonaughts.

Maybe I wasn't clear. Can you tell me how to find the freaking things? I know there's a stadium in most major cities but I can't spend hours flying in circles looking for them.

Keep in mind that all of those logos are copyrighted, so it might be hard to find some in FS itself. Unless the parent league paid the cash to do so.

In the Boston area there is a very good model of Fenway Park (home of the Red Sox) in Boston. Fly towards the city and start looking after you have cleared the skyscrapers.

I found Fenway Park and Mile High Stadium with no problem. Fenway looked pretty realistic but Mile High leaves a lot to be desired. As a bonus, though, Coors Field (within sight of Mile High) has a nice looking Rockies sign - that's the kind of thing I was looking for.

Check out Texas Stadium in Dallas, Texas. Take off from Dallas Love and fly to the West, it's really obvious. They did a good job on it like they did the rest of Dallas (At night Dallas looks real). I believe it has the Cowboys logos but I will have to look. On game days I fly by there sometimes the same time the F-16s do then I leave my house before my dad starts screamin' 'cause the Cowboys are winning (or losing

)

Texas Stadium looked pretty nice. You can see the girders inside - but no Cowboys logo.

Hey man,
Try the Olympic Stadium of Montreal in Quebec-Canada. Now it the expo's that are playing there but we recently had the semi-final of the east of Grey Cup (Canadian league) where the Esquimos vs The Alouette's were playing. But I have notice that you come from Florida and may be you don't know anything about what was mentionned just above.

The "park at Candlestick Point" doesn't have a 49ers logo in it but it is in the right place, and RFK stadium in Wash. DC has the Redskins logo in it, but they dont play there anymore (they play at "fedex" in Landover, MD) -- Don't you hate the corporate takeover of the stadium names???

When you take off from "Meigs" usually the deafault takeoff airport on FS2002 bank left and you'll see a stadium, propabally not the one your looking for but still fun to land a Chinook on the feild! Happy Simming.
