Pickswise analyzed the most haunted stadiums in the NFL by creating an index rating for all 30 stadiums.

Factors such as distance to the nearest cemetery, ghost stories about the stadium, age of the stadium, years without the home team reaching a Super Bowl, and the number of haunted locations in the stadium’s home state were factored to establish a ranking.

How did MetLife fare against other NFL stadiums?

Based on the factors listed above, MetLife has a Haunted Score of 5.4 out of 10. The ranking puts them as the second most haunted stadium in the NFL, right behind Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, which scored a whopping Haunted Score of 7.41 out of 10!

For your Eagles fans you do not have to fear, your Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia ranks 21st with a respectable Haunted Score.
