How to Build the Biggest Stadium in Madden NFL 08

Create a custom stadium and football field in "Madden NFL 08."

EA Sports "Madden NFL" franchise is one of the top-selling sports video games each and every year. The "Madden NFL 08" edition was no exception. One of the features in "Madden NFL 08" is the ability to create your very own NFL team, complete with a customized stadium. Since nothing provides home field advantage like 80,000 screaming fans, making the stadium as large as possible can work in your favor during the team's home game schedule. In real life, stadiums depend on luxury boxes and suites to generate revenue; however, in the Madden world, more seats means more screaming fans.

Instructions

1. Open the main menu on the game and select "My Madden." From there, select "Rosters," "Create a Team" and "Create New Team."

2. Select "Stadium" from the "Create a Team" menu. This will take you to the screen where you can customize the east sideline stands.

3. Choose "Seating" and then "Entrances." This will put the most seats on the east sideline.

4. Scroll to "Dugout" and leave it off, then to "Pillbox" and leave it off. The final choice is "Luxury Box," where you need to select "None."

5. Toggle to the west sideline and repeat Steps 4 and 5.

6. Back out and then select "Endzone." This will take you to the north end zone screen. Choose "Scoreboard." Toggle to the south end and repeat this.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't forget to select your field type, stadium decor and lighting. While these don't affect the size of the stadium, they do affect how attracted fans are to home games. A roaring fan base will make it hard for the opponents' offense to function off the snap, giving you the edge and a true home field advantage.

• Don't forget to save your stadium and team when you're done.

• Since "Madden NFL 08" is available on several platforms, the button controls vary from system to system.
