Soldier is the NFL's oldest stadium by a large margin. Many NFL organizations have pursued new venues in the past decade. Of the NFL's 30 stadiums, 21 were built in the past 25 years.

Let's take a look at each NFL stadium, from oldest to newest.

Soldier Field, Chicago Bears , 1924

Since Soldier Field opened, it has been renovated a number of times -- most recently in 2003, which caused it to be delisted as a National Historic Landmark. The Bears played charity games there dating back to 1926, but the Chicago Cardinals were the first team to call Soldier Field their full-time home (in 1959). The Bears didn't move into Soldier Field full time until 1971.
