Most Haunted Sports Venue in North America Revealed
If you support a team that’s facing tough times, it can feel as though your home arena is a bit eerie. A recent survey has named the most haunted sports venue in North America, and it might surprise some fans.
AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, has been designated the top contender. That’s perhaps fitting, considering the expressions often seen on the faces of Dallas Cowboys players could lead one to think they’ve encountered something otherworldly.
This information comes from a source that seems to have taken a more analytical approach—much more than what you’d typically find in a “Ghost Hunters” episode. The Sports Geek, which conducted this survey, evaluated 47 venues across the U.S. and Canada based on their ghostly legends, age, proximity to burial sites, and other spooky attributes.
Surprisingly, AT&T Stadium, which opened in 2009, surpassed classic venues like Dodger Stadium and the 112-year-old Wrigley Field to claim the number one spot. This news might challenge the long-held belief that there are no new ghosts wandering around.
You know, this certainly raises questions about the connection between potential hauntings at AT&T Stadium and the Cowboys’ postseason struggles. Maybe there’s a link, but, then again, probably not.
A former employee, Selena Sixtos, shared her experiences in a 2018 article, recounting strange incidents like poltergeist-like disturbances in the kitchen, an eerie chill in a room dedicated to famed coach Tom Landry, and an unsettling experience in a restroom stall where she heard someone but found no one there. Sure, it’s not the scariest thing imaginable in a restroom, but it still sends chills down the spine.
The stadium’s haunting reputation isn’t just a figment of imagination; it’s built near an old graveyard, and a worker tragically lost their life during its construction, which likely contributes to its spooky atmosphere.
The wildest part? AT&T Stadium may be the first in history to sit at the top of a “most haunted” list without any sightings of Civil War soldiers or old-fashioned widows wandering about. I find that refreshing—ghosts mixing things up a bit is always appreciated.
