#8 Talen Energy Stadium (Philadelphia Union)

Capacity – 18,500

When it comes to views, Talen Energy Stadium takes the cake for sure. The Bridge Stand is placed in the foreground of the Commodore Barry Bridge, which crosses the Delaware River It’s truly a unique characteristic that makes it stand out among MLS stadiums.

Sure the 18,500 capacity seems a bit on the lower end, however, it seems to fit well as the Union averaged an attendance of 16,812 last season.

Similarly to the previously mentioned StubHub Center, Talen Energy Stadium is not actually in the team’s claimed city. The Union actually call the city of Chester home, rather than the city of Philadelphia.
