Soldier field was (substantially) renovated, not completely rebuilt. The southern end of the lower bowl dates from 1924.

Solder Field is not a correct answer. If you see the before & after photos, you would see it was essentially a complete rebuild. Before: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/22/Meigs_field_USGS_2002.jpg After: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5c/Soldier_Field_aerial.jpg Even the Bears themselves acknowledged it as the New Soldier Stadium & as being demolished. http://www.chicagobears.com/tradition/sf_facts.asp http://www.chicagobears.com/tradition/sf_timeline.asp

I haven't been to many stadiums, but I did have a chance to visit Anaheim once about 10 years ago, and I never would have thought it was that old. It seemed so cool and modern at the time. Color me surprised.

metrodome would have been a tricky one, closest to the cutoff date if i recall correctly

The key to success here is knowing which old stadiums were renamed and which new stadiums took the same name as old ones.

Metrodome opened in 1961 and is still in use by the Vikings, but you marked it wrong.

@kromclovinfasho You are referring to the metropolitan stadium (The Met), which was completely demolished before the metrodome was built and opened in 1982

That was easy. I'm sooo awesome at stadium trivia. Did you know the Tigers used to play in Tiger Stadium?

Blimpyboy -- Angel Stadium was substantially remodeled in 1997. It does look pretty good.
