From college football in the Rocky Mountains to riverside Major League Baseball parks: The 10 most stunning sports venues in the USA REVEALED

While attending a sporting event relies heavily on the action, the setting can often play a part in creating an experience.

Sometimes, it's the architecture of a stadium or arena. Other times, views serve as a background to the game and help paint a visual for spectators from their seats or as they walk to grab a pint in the concessions.

The United States is a sports-loving nation, and its vast landscape of greenery and concrete jungles make for some noteworthy sports venues across different states and disciplines.

Online Betting Guide recently came out with its list of the most stunning stadiums across the US. OLBG's list was curated and built through TripAdvisor Reviews and analyzing Instagram hashtags to reveal the most-posted stadia.

Here, DailyMail.com goes down the United States 'Stunning Sports Venue,' according to OBL.

10. Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA

Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles ranked tenth in OLBG's most stunning stadiums in the US
