The Orange Bowl, where the Miami Hurricanes play and where the Orange Bowl was played for years and years until 1995 (and then again in 1999, but not since then) sits east and west, meaning that the goal posts are located at the east and west ends.
Old Busch Stadium, St. Louis, when it was used for both football and baseball, was oriented east/west for football.
For college, Boone Pickens Stadium (FKA: Lewis Field) is an east-west field. Sanford Stadium, home of the University of Georgia Bulldogs, runs east-west. It was built into a natural valley between the two parts of campus.
For NFL, in addition to Dolphin Stadium (Orange Bowl), the Georgia Dome [Alanta Falcons], Ford Field [Detroit Lions], and Cleveland Browns Stadium are east-west fields.
To my knowledge, there are more stadiums with the east-west orientation. I hope someone adds to this answer.
Commonwealth Stadium in Lexington Kentucky also runs east to west I don't have an answer to why it was built this way. The majority of the stadiums have north to south end zones.
The Stadium at East Carolina University also has the east-west alignment.
