Methodology
The list of the 30 NFL stadiums was gathered and three of the most commonly used hashtags were used to calculate the overall number of hashtags.
For example, to calculate the overall number of hashtags for Levi’s Stadium, we used the following hashtags – #levisstadium (214,624), #levistadium (101,235) and #49ersstadium (730), resulting in the overall number of hashtags being the sum of these numbers (316,589).
When calculating the hashtags, changes to the grounds’ name in the past 10 years were taken into account. For example, Pittsburgh’s Acrisure Stadium was known as Heinz Field until July 2022, so the hashtag #heinzfield (173,707) was included in the stadiums’ overall number of hashtags, along with #acrisurestadium (9,963) and #heinzfieldstadium (1,462).
