There’s just something magical about NFL games under the lights. The energy shifts, the crowds get rowdier, and the stakes always feel just a little bit higher when kickoff happens after dark.
Some stadiums were built for that primetime vibe. From deafening fan noise to iconic backdrops, these are the places where night games become unforgettable experiences.

9. M&T Bank Stadium – Baltimore Ravens
Baltimore knows how to bring the intensity; that purple glow at night hits different. The Ravens fanbase brings a gritty, playoff-caliber energy to every primetime slot.
