For decades, NFL venues like the Astrodome, Giants Stadium, Lambeau Field, Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, Qualcomm Stadium, RCA Dome and Texas Stadium have hosted high school football games. Things are no different this year as 32 NFL and FBS stadiums in 29 states are hosting state championship games this fall.

Twelve of the sites have NFL pedigrees, including Louisiana, which will play its title games at Caesars Superdome. It's the home of the New Orleans Saints, seven Super Bowls, six Final Fours and five college football national championships.

That is one of nine stadiums featured to host a Super Bowl. In total, pigskin palaces on this list have held 15 Super Bowls, 12 Final Fours, 10 college football national titles and WrestleMania on seven occasions.

New Jersey has its state title games at SHI Stadium (Rutgers) and MetLife Stadium (Jets and Giants). MetLife is also the site of the 2026 World Cup Final while semifinal venues AT&T Stadium (Cowboys) and Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Falcons) will also have state championship games next month.

War Memorial Stadium in Arkansas and Camp Randall Stadium in Wisconsin headline 22 FBS college stadiums that will host state championships.

Read on for a complete breakdown of every NFL and FBS stadium that will host a high school football state championship in 2024.
