If there was one word to describe your favorite NFL team’s stadium, would it be “bougie?” 

According to Merriam-Webster, “bougie” (pronounced boo-gee and alternatively spelled “boujee”) is defined as “marked by a concern for wealth, possessions and respectability.” 

As it turns out, every professional football stadium has a certain “bougie score,” according to new research by online gaming experts at Casino.org

Researchers used several metrics to come to their conclusion on the “bougiest” stadium, including stadium capacity, the number of luxury suites, how many bathrooms and concession stands are in the stadium and the overall cost of construction. Each stadium was given a score between 0 and 100, with 100 being the most “bougie.” 

Based on their findings, L.A.’s very own SoFi Stadium came out with a weighted “bougie score” of 100.

With a capacity of 70,240 people, the home of the Chargers and Rams has 260 luxury boxes, 26 concession stands and 167 bathrooms. It is the NFL’s most expensive stadium by far, with an overall building cost of $5.5 billion. 

SoFi has a wrap-around screen and employs “digital twinning” technology, making it among the most tech savvy venues to see a football game at in the country.

On the other side of the spectrum, Soldier Field – home of the Chicago Bears – has the lowest “bougie score” of an NFL stadium with a whopping 0, according to data from Casino.org.

Soldier Field can house 61,500 fans and has 131 suites, 114 bathrooms and 22 concession stands, the latter of which ranks as the fewest in the league.

Does a team’s home venue’s “bougieness” have an effect on their success?

The answer is not a definitive one; of the last five Super Bowl winners (New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs [twice], Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Rams), two of them (Patriots and Rams) have a top four “bougiest” stadium in the league.
