@@melrest3453 Same here. Born and raised a Gamecock, no orange allowed here either. In fact when my daughter was in Kindergarden they were painting pumpkins shaped wooden lapels. My daughter refused orange paint and the teacher had to go to supply closet for her and she was the only kid with a red pumpkin.😁
@@Gashouse69good work you are raising her (mostly) well haha sorry I we are still rivals in some aspects. I remember my dad even saying “don’t even think about applying to college at Florida” haha
@Gashouse69 No doubt! As someone who grew up in Ann Arbor and is the son, grandson, nephew, cousin, and great-nephew of Michigan alumni, there was only one school I ever considered going to and was happy to carry on the family tradition of Michigan graduates. I detest Ohio State on a genetic level; heck, I detest them on sub-atomic level. I'd say the same about Michigan State but hating them that much just seems like bullying and punching down. College Football is the greatest sport on the planet (in the universe if aliens play sports). And as much as I hate so much of the change going on, I cannot lie that I am beyond excited to see some of the match ups it'll create; not to mention the potential for new rivalries. I cannot wait to see USC and Oregon come to Ann Arbor this season now that they're in the Big Ten. I also can't wait to see Texas come to the Big House (and Oklahoma in 2 years). Our Home Schedule this year is absolute fire. Texas, USC, Michigan State, Oregon; all will be tough opponents (well, maybe not MSU, but hey, it's a rivalry game!) so us season ticket holders are getting our money's worth this year! I like summer; but I cannot wait for autumn to get here!! Go Blue! 15-0, Reigning National Champions!
College Football is the closest thing to European Football we have: it’s tribal, territorial, & passed on through families from generation to generation. These are publicly funded programs & often more representative of each state than any pro teams.
@@mememachine2681Friends of mine told their son that they would pay his tuition to whatever college in the country he desired. However, if he chose Old Piss, he was on his own!! They weren't kidding, either!
Yep, the thing non Americans need to realize about America is it's so goddanged big. It's way bigger than any European ever seems to realize. It's basically Europe more or less. So the way college sport has always been set up is you have a bunch of smaller geographical leagues and then their champions go play a football game on New Years Day against another champion from a different region, or in basketball they do a big tournament thats basically the champions league. It's just not feasible or possible for every state to have a pro sports team in a country this large.
College football embodies a lot of the pride you have for your college. In the NFL, it’s much more detached. In college football, this is YOUR college. YOUR players. YOUR marching band. YOUR school chants. It’s YOUR campus and YOUR stadium.
@@SillyGoose2024 Probably because college football is so watered down with number of teams and games that are televised in a single day in college. People brag about how big the ratings are in NASCAR but it doesn't compare to college football as a whole.
@@SillyGoose2024NFL has high TV viewership because there are only 32 teams and a max total of 16 games can be played week to week. There are 130+ D1 schools alone. There are countless more college football fans than NFL fans. It’s not even in the same universe.
And because this is effectively STATE teams. Its closer to European Basketball as the teams are NATIONAL teams in Europe. Since the USA is a single country but 50 states it is close to equivalent.
Wish I would have seen this before I commented lol I didn't know it was 8 out of 10, but I knew Michigan was 3rd behind 2 stadiums from Asia. Now that you said that though, it makes sense for the next 8 to be college stadiums. Amazing really and it cracks me up seeing reactions from anyone not from the states who hasn't yet been indoctrinated 😂 they are in complete shock. College is just a great atmosphere with really long standing traditions that pro sport just can't replicate.
Yes, of the 10 largest sports stadiums in the world 8 are college football stadiums. The two that are larger are in N. Korea (and really you have to wonder how often it is used), and a Cricket stadium in India. The US is unique that we value nonprofessional teams more than some countries value their professional sports teams. Other countries don't understand our love of college sports and they can't fathom high school football (especially in Texas...Friday Night Lights are very much a real thing down there.)
@@EmmaChihuahua81which is weird. Because professional sports in other countries are, culturally and socially for fans, a lot more similar to US college sports than US professional sports.
@@jaywalkallstar I agree. College sports fans usually have some kind of regional or local tie to the team they support, much like European sports teams. Our Pro teams have much wider appeal to many people across the country.
@@EmmaChihuahua81 Schools like Notre Dame, Southern California, and Alabama definitely have nationwide fan bases. Notre Dame in particular has more national than regional fans.
I agree with you. Even if it's not something I'm really interested in; getting others' perspective of what we are accustomed to in the U.S. is entertaining and sometimes eye-opening.
As an American this makes me realize how we take for granted all these great traditions that seem normal but if you’re not from here they are extraordinary. Makes me proud
They left out the best part of the Florida St entrance where Renegade(the horse) raises up on her hind legs and Chief Osceola plants the flaming spear in the ground as the crowd collectively yells “WOOO!”
@4:34 I kind of had to chuckle when he said "You don't expect so many people at a college football game" while his screen was paused on Michigan, home to the largest crowds of 110,000+. Damn I love college football! Autumn can't get here soon enough!
...I was about to say, " That is University of Michigan. I know you watched some Ohio State stuff, but I am obliged to inform you, as a Michigander, I am contractually obligated to hate OSU. Maybe except their band. Their band is good."
@@trekkiexb5 No, we are not contractually obliged to hate Ohio State as Michiganders and/or Michigan alums. We already hate them on a genetic level; in fact, studies have shown this hatred is found within the sub atomic particles of all who bleed Maize and Blue! No need for contracts when we'll happily do it for free! Go Blue!
Yeah, I was talking to a guy that attended a game when he visited Michigan. He told me, "100,000 people standing up the whole game. It was unbelievable."
The thing about VT is they register on the Richter scale every time The Hokies take the field there is nothing like it to be part of something that helps read earth quakes
Clemson fan here who just got to experience enter sandman last weekend. Wouldn't say richter scale, but the stands were shaking. Definitely awesome. Thanks to all the awesome hokies who welcomed us to lane. I'd label it the friendliest ACC matchup. No hostility whatsoever that I encountered.
I've never been to a game there but love the tradition and grew up on 80's and early 90's Metallica. I'd love to experience it. I HAVE been in The Shoe though several times when the Richter registered Ohio State TD's. Feeling a massive 110K+ concrete stadium move so much is something. I read it happened last week against Indiana. The largest and rowdiest crowd I was personally part of was unfortunately a close loss to USC in 2009. The Hokies have registered higher in dB though I believe. It's incredible what a college football stadium experience is like especially in a big game.
Another Aussie here, this whole thing with college sports being this big honestly blows my mind about sports in the US as well. College football, college basketball... look at the legions of fanbases that attend each game, the traditions steeped in each team, no doubt the hundreds and hundreds of something-illions of dollars that is also poured into each team's facilities, the coaches, the admin and support staff, ... it's insane. As much as I would LOVE to see a Superbowl game live I actually want to experience these events from the stands even more.
The first thing you saw was Clemson before every game they touch Howard’s rock and run down the hill. Back story about the rock is it was given to Coach Frank Howard and he infamously said the words “if you don’t give me 110% then keep your filthy hands off my rock”. They do that before every home game one of the most iconic entrances in all of sports.
That T on the side of the helmet is from TENNESSEE!! So happy you took the time to make this! I played for the University of Tennessee back in the 80’s and every home game we packed our stadium with 100,000 fans. I think our entrance is the best, and it’s been said you are “steeped in southern football pageantry” when we run through that T! GO VOLS!!! 9:02 that is how an entrance is done!!
I was at Neyland in 1987 for the AU - UT game. Hands down, loudest place I have ever been. Listening to 100,000 drunk hillbillies sing 'Rocky Top' for 3 1/2 hours was awesome.
On Friday night even the highschool stands are jam packed on home games, the stands are livid, every big play, every big hit, you can feel the atmosphere of the place, American football is deff one of the most chilling sports
Unless you like to watch good football lol. I won't deny for a second going to a college game is more fun. But the actual product on the field isn't even close in comparison.
That beautiful horse being rode by a guy with a flaming spear which is then planted into the field is an Appaloosa, and the name of the horse is Renegade. My favorite. My other favorite is Wake Forest. They drive a chopper out on the field. Not as exciting, but I like motorcycles so … And the Hurricanes and their fog entrance is cool as well.
Iam not even a FSU fan BUT being live at a FSU game. Seeing Chief Osceola and Renegade drive the Spear into the 50 Yard line will give you chills. Bobby Bowden started this tradition. It’s runs deep.
LSU (Louisiana State University) stadium holds over 100,000 people and is sold out just about every game. Look into the light shows they have during the games now. Pretty amazing and electric.
I'm a native Husker, I worked at the university for many years. Memorial Stadium is physically overpowering when it's full, the noise is unlike anything most people will experience - You can literally feel the energy. Even empty, it's a tremendous building complex. Fun fact: When it is full, Memorial Stadium is the third-largest city in Nebraska.
It's my home state, my whole family and I were there for Thanksgiving 2000, we got to see Eric Crouch play and we all just ended up crying! But we did win, of course.
I remember tearing up for Coach Osbourne's last tunnel walk. I was fortunate enough to play football in high school and he was at his cabin nearby and came to one of our practices and gave us some pointers and an amazing speech ill always remember
I remember when we were stuck in wooden bleachers in the end zones. 90-94. Finally beat Miami my last football season there! Nothing like college football!
Does the rider with the spear actually throw it into the ground at the 50 IRL; or is it just something EA Sports added to the video game? I never see it happen in the real clips and was just curious.
American here, I like to think College Football is our national sport lol. NFL doesn’t get half the viewership college games do, the passion from the fans/players/coaches is just a different level.
This is not even close to true 93 of the top 100 ratings on TV were NFL games only 3 were College football & those were huge rivalry games NFL gets on average 8 times the viewer ship as CF
The first clip is my local college, Clemson University, in Clemson, SC. The stadium holds 93,000! And "that" is "Howard's Rock", from Death Valley, California. It's an interesting story.
Clemson (my team) was the first entrance you reacted too! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 💜🧡 All these college schools are incredibly talented and have fantastic entrances!! Great video!!
It's pretty cool too, with the United States' fraught history with using indigenous symbols/ideas as mascots without consulting the actual living members of that tribe or nation; Florida State actually consulted with the Seminole (the name of the nation and the name of the team, Florida State Seminoles) elders when coming up with the mascot. They got the blessing of the culture they're using and they try and be authentic and respectful in their portrayal of that very, very cool culture and history. It's a rare feel-good story.
@@eva11883 and when FSU came under pressure to change the name like many other sports teams who were forced to change their "offensive" names the Seminole Tribe stepped in and said we gave them permission to use our name so go pound sand.
@@suflanker45 to be fair the other teams didn't go to the lengths the FSU team did to be respectful in their portrayal. It's true that the "offensiveness" varies in each case, some (cough -the commanders -cough) are unequivocally offensive, others are more like FSU. What's frustrating is that it's easy to be respectful and inoffensive, but so many teams/groups won't even do a quick Wikipedia dive to avoid glaringly offensive portrayals. Blegh, sorry for the wall of text.
@@eva11883My sis in-law is Irish. Moved to Indiana when she married my brother. She wasn't offended by the Fighting Irish. I think we all need to lighten up some times and not be so offended.
They missed the highlight of South Carolina’s entrance! There’s a special box left on the field, and their mascot, ‘Cocky,’ pops out of it surrounded by fireworks. As for Clemson, that thing everyone was touching is Howard’s Rock, a treasured piece from Death Valley, which is also the name of their stadium. It was named after Frank Howard, a legendary Clemson football coach.
LOL, you mean the chicken breaking out of cage while people spray fire extinguishers at it? Actually, Sandstorm with all the fans yelling USC in cadence will get ya fired up. But for my money, nothing beats running down the hill. I wish they'd showed a little more of the bus ride around the stadium and had Tiger Rag with volume up. Signed, a Clemson fan.
When you're born in Alabama, you look up, and you see blue and orange (Auburn) and crimson and white (Alabama). And you have a decision to make. And it's for LIFE. ROLL TIDE! Thanks for the reactions!
The team with the orange T is the Tennessee Volunteers (University of Tennessee, at Knoxville). The University of Texas (technically, University of Texas, at Austin, the flagship school), wears 'burnt' orange and white. Their logo is the head (no details, not in profile, but looking directly at it) of a longhorn steer in orange, with a white helmet.
The one where they jumped up and touched the "Go Blue" banner is Michigan Stadium and it seats 107,601 and is called "The Big House. It's the largest stadium in the US based on capacity. And they sell out EVERY game.
I really enjoyed your reaction. Several college football stadiums have over 100,000 in attendance. Tailgating before and after the game is also a thing so it’s an all day event. I don’t think you addressed this but what you see is what happens during regular games and not just finals or championships. Looking forward to more reactions videos from you. Keep up the good work!
I graduated from the University of Texas in 1977 and even after the stadium renovation and expansion getting a ticket these days is impossible, both physically and financially
@@melissawilliams2492Miami people do that, but who wouldn't want to own a condo in Miami? Most Clemson students who aren't student-athletes are from SC & many alumni stay in SC so they don't need to travel far for home games.
On the current list of world's largest stadiums, US College stadiums are third through tenth (the top one and two are the *national stadiums* of India and North Korea). Breaking the streak, at eleventh is the Melbourne Cricket Ground (which, as you know, is immense). @patrolnation
I am a Clemson alumni and yes, it's that electrifying in the stadium when our team runs down the hill during game day. The stadium gets so loud, it registers as an earthquake in the Geology Dept. Richter scale. I also played rugby while at Clemson.
Yep, as a VT fan living in GVL.. been too a few Clemson games.. but nothing is like Home in Blacksburg! Lane stadium is even louder with 20k less seats! Both great game day environments!
Several stadiums around the country do the same thing. I'm a Hokie and my sister is a geophysicist who graduated from The University of Oregon. Both of those schools also register on the Richter scale. Hokies have the best entrance!!!
at the 8:57 mark, that is the University of Tennessee at Knoxville - there are roughly 107,000 people in that stadium - when the band forms the "T" and it opens, the crowd noise is so loud even the band members can't hear their own instruments - I know, I played tuba there from 90-93 and that was when the stadium only held 93,000...... Neyland Stadium holds the current noise record for college stadiums at 137dB
Let’s go hokies! I’ll never forget going to my first college football game my freshman year and feeling goosebumps when the crowd started chanting at each other. Enter sandman is part of my identity.
The "T" is the University of Tennessee, their Neyland Stadium seats over 100,000 and is often considered the loudest in all of college football. However, night games are louder and more raucous everywhere than day games.
I grew up in East Tennessee and used to go to Vols football games in Knoxville. At the time Neyland Stadium was the 3rd largest behind Michigan & Ohio St. You could feel the electricity when you attended a game. You get a sense of it on video, but it’s nothing like being there!
There are only 32 professional football teams located in major cities. There are 134 Division 1 college football teams. So it's much easier for people to see a college team. I prefer college football because it's unpredictable compared to professional football. When Virginia Tech enters and they're playing Enter Sandman the jumping actually registers on the Richter scale. My favorite college football team is alabama, roll tide. My favorite protein is New Orleans Saints because I went to college with the head coach.
lol protein, I had to re-read that a few times to realize it was a typo. That's awesome you went to college with Allen. I'm a Raiders fan and actually liked his short tenure there.
College football , in terms of competition, is the worst of ALL major sports because so many of the games are blowouts and over by halftime. Yes I'm sure the home crowd at the alabama game is enjoying the 35-10 lead at halftime, the rest of America has left the game to go mow their lawn. That's why the pro game destroys the college game in tv ratings
@@TimmycooYeah, I was confused for a second. I'm a Colts fan. Went to the Raiders/Colts game last year. You guys are a different breed. The fans looked like post apocalyptic pirates. Smoking inside while eating the continental breakfast in the hotel lobby (literally). It looked like they were literally raiding Indy. 😂 Fun group though.
@@M98747 Hahah yeah in Oakland we had the "Black Hole" at the stadium and the fans you're talking about where basically everyone there. They are definitely hardcore.
I literally burst out laughing at you reading Texas A&M’s helmets as “ATM”. My husband is British & he does the same thing. I’m like “It’s Texas A&M you heathen!” 😂😂😂 He’d never experienced college football until he met me (a Southerner with college football in my blood). He’s in it for life now thanks to me.
My ex brother in law played on that first team than ran down the hill into the stadium, the Clemson Tigers. He played on the team with Refrigerator Perry. Google him. I went to that stadium to see them play and went to the cotton bowl in Shreveport Louisiana to watch him play. When my kids were in high school, on home games for the football team as soon as student parking started getting empty , the parents and fans would start piling in and setting up for tailgating. Bring out bbq grilles, coolers filled with drinks, camp chairs and music. Also, ESPN and local news crews would be there with their satellite trucks to capture the action. My son went to GA TECH where they have the ramblin wreck, one nephew went to Alabama and another went to UGA (University of Georgia).
That is Virginia Tech at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg VA. My wife went there and we go to games and have been since they played Florida State for the National Championship when Michael Vick was the QB.
The first one is Clemson in Clemson SC. Foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The hill the players run down has a small little plateau and thats when the guys get air and jump up. It is also the students section and there are no seats right there. You have got to hear the band play tiger rag! Everytime Clemson scores they shoot off a small cannon and the mascot a tiger (not a real one, some other colleges do have live animals, GA bulldogs have UGA) does pushups of the score. Watching on tv is thrilling but nothing like being there! My daughter, graduated from Clemson w/a biomedical engineering degree. Go Tigers!
9:43 mark is my FSU Seminoles and I spent 3 years as a Marching Chief playing Saxophone and I assure you that as awesome as our crowd is, there is nothing like being on the field for it. I played that Warchant probably a million times and I will proudly play it a million more when we go back for Homecomings and march. You should look for the video "loudest moments at Doak Campbell Stadium" - we do it right. It's the crowd and pageantry that completely separates NFL and college ball
He should do one of the band entrances, just before. They're amazing, and sets the tone for the fans. I must admit to being an Ohio State person, but still, the bands rock.
Wild thought is these players are between 18-21 with a few older players having 100,000+ people cheering you on. That has to be a once in a lifetime feeling.
If the Virginia Tech entrance doesn’t get you get you going, I don’t know what does. Also, on a side note, I bet whoever designed the stadium was a little nervous the first time 50 thousand people started jumping in unison.
I remember when Notre Dame played them 5-6 yrs ago . That Enter Sandman entrance set off a Richter Scale .. I’m from Indiana. The Hoosiers don’t do that ..
I went to graduate school at Clemson. Saw a few games at "Death Valley" aka Frank Howard Field. That is Howard's Rock which the football players touch before entering the field.
Eight of the 10 largest sports stadiums in the world are college football stadiums in the US. The traditions, rivalries and history are so deep. Saturdays from September through December are special
College Football is essentially our Premier League of European Football. The rivalries run deep, theres real hatred, real pride, real fights, real love, and real energy for College Sports in America. The Manchester City and United rivalry is essentially the Alabama and Auburn rivalry also known as the Iron Bowl in Football and it started all the way back in 1893. Both colleges located in the state of Alabama and there's real bad blood there. Lots of history in football especially in college because that's where it all started then the professional leagues started.
It is very heartbreaking when your college football team loses a game. It can ruin your whole week. The game grabs your emotions. Every point scored, every tackle, fumble, referee call has such a grab on your feelings. Such an experience!
You need to watch the ‘Iowa Hawkeyes’ wave. University of Iowa’s stadium is right by children’s hospital. Every game, the entire stadium turns & waves to the kids! 👋🏼 The kids dress up & hold signs. It’s so sweet!
Played college ball for 3 yrs and the adrenaline of running out in front of a crowd like this is like nothing youll ever feel again....ive seem guys brought to tears because their body literally didnt know what to do with the emotions and adrenaline. Its absolutely wild and something ill miss until the day im gone.
Remember those are all students that were in class the day before. You have to support your school. The ' T ' stands for University of Tennessee. The M stands for the University of Michigan. A difficult schools to get into.The Notre Dame University fighting Irish is a large private Catholic school.Texas A&M University was a Military school at one time. Now co-ed. The VT stands for Virginia Tech University where my son went to school. The schools make big money off the games. It's FUN !
@@mjackson780 Yes they are!!!!. All High Schools have sports . I was on my High Schools Varsity Swimming Team for four years just north of Chicago. It was in doors in the middle of the school and had a seating for 2000 people.Then I swam for the University of Arkansas Razorbacks for a few years while in College . The horse is from Florida State University. It's mascot is the Seminoles which was an Indian tribe who own the land there hundred of years ago. If you ever come to Dallas, Texas my wife and I could take you out for dinner. It's always been my dream to visit down under.
The largest stadiums in the US are college football stadiums Michigan’s stadium “The Big House” is the largest at roughly 110k, Ohio st, Penn State, Texas A&M ,LSU, Tennessee are all in excess of 100k capacities.
Hurricanes are The University of Miami sports moniker and our mascot is Sebastian the Ibis....legend is that the Ibis (it's a bird) is the last to leave and 1st to return after a hurricane.
A few months ago, I realized the only time I ever went to a game in Lane Stadium, Enter Sandman hadn't even been released by Metallica yet. That didn't make me feel young.
College Football has been around longer than pro football, these stadiums are filled like this every weekend. American Football has been around since 1869 almost as long as Soccer/Football. The average stadium seats 80,000 but some like the University of Michigan seat 107,600 people.
The team with the orange uniforms with the power T on the helmets were the University of Tennessee Volunteers. The red flag with the three stars in the blue center circle is our state flag. Since you ain't from these parts, I'll give you a pass, but please - for the love all that it good and holy, please do not mistake Tennessee for Texas. They're our cousins. Our weird, big talking, big hat wearing, Austin tolerating cousins... The video didn't show much, but you should look up a full video of the performance that the Pride of the Southland Marching Band does before every Tennessee football home game. It's worth the watch. Honestly, for about 10 years the band was the best part about watching a game at Neyland Stadium.

A cult, if you will.
@@Mushroomstops A cult I can't wait to join every Labor Day weekend. I start thinking about it when March Madness ends.

Korea (and really you have to wonder how often it is used), and a Cricket stadium in India. The US is unique that we value nonprofessional teams more than some countries value their professional sports teams.
Other countries don't understand our love of college sports and they can't fathom high school football (especially in Texas...Friday Night Lights are very much a real thing down there.)
@@EmmaChihuahua81which is weird. Because professional sports in other countries are, culturally and socially for fans, a lot more similar to US college sports than US professional sports.
@@jaywalkallstar I agree. College sports fans usually have some kind of regional or local tie to the team they support, much like European sports teams. Our Pro teams have much wider appeal to many people across the country.
@@EmmaChihuahua81 Schools like Notre Dame, Southern California, and Alabama definitely have nationwide fan bases. Notre Dame in particular has more national than regional fans.
Even as an American who’s grown up with these games, this is AWESOME!!
Reaction channels are my new favorite thing.
I agree with you. Even if it's not something I'm really interested in; getting others' perspective of what we are accustomed to in the U.S. is entertaining and sometimes eye-opening.
As an American this makes me realize how we take for granted all these great traditions that seem normal but if you’re not from here they are extraordinary. Makes me proud

Damn I love college football! Autumn can't get here soon enough!
...I was about to say, " That is University of Michigan. I know you watched some Ohio State stuff, but I am obliged to inform you, as a Michigander, I am contractually obligated to hate OSU. Maybe except their band. Their band is good."
@@trekkiexb5 No, we are not contractually obliged to hate Ohio State as Michiganders and/or Michigan alums.

The thing about VT is they register on the Richter scale every time The Hokies take the field there is nothing like it to be part of something that helps read earth quakes
Death Valley:
Clemson fan here who just got to experience enter sandman last weekend. Wouldn't say richter scale, but the stands were shaking. Definitely awesome. Thanks to all the awesome hokies who welcomed us to lane. I'd label it the friendliest ACC matchup. No hostility whatsoever that I encountered.
Metallica is going to Blacksburg next year!!! The Stadium is going to collapse!!
We just had that happen Sat at Williams Brice when Rocket Sanders scored the td to win the game. 😂
I've never been to a game there but love the tradition and grew up on 80's and early 90's Metallica. I'd love to experience it.
I HAVE been in The Shoe though several times when the Richter registered Ohio State TD's. Feeling a massive 110K+ concrete stadium move so much is something. I read it happened last week against Indiana. The largest and rowdiest crowd I was personally part of was unfortunately a close loss to USC in 2009. The Hokies have registered higher in dB though I believe. It's incredible what a college football stadium experience is like especially in a big game.
Another Aussie here, this whole thing with college sports being this big honestly blows my mind about sports in the US as well. College football, college basketball... look at the legions of fanbases that attend each game, the traditions steeped in each team, no doubt the hundreds and hundreds of something-illions of dollars that is also poured into each team's facilities, the coaches, the admin and support staff, ... it's insane.
As much as I would LOVE to see a Superbowl game live I actually want to experience these events from the stands even more.
You'd have way more fun at a college game. Drinking and partying before the game is the best
College Football in America IS a MULTI BILLION DOLLAR business! 😂
The myth that American sports fans are bland and that we aren’t as passionate as other countries is proven false with one look of college sports.
Our professional sports are controlled national propaganda and aren't worth watching
As an American who went to the University of Michigan, I’m telling you to go to a college game. It’s an unbelievable experience!
The first thing you saw was Clemson before every game they touch Howard’s rock and run down the hill. Back story about the rock is it was given to Coach Frank Howard and he infamously said the words “if you don’t give me 110% then keep your filthy hands off my rock”. They do that before every home game one of the most iconic entrances in all of sports.
You got that right .
Amen!
rock came from death valley, ca and was given to frank howard. clemson stadium nickname is death valley.
I was on the left side (facing the field) of that video. Was absolutely thrilling to see it in person.
Too bad they lost that game to Florida State. Go Noles!!!!!
That T on the side of the helmet is from TENNESSEE!!
So happy you took the time to make this! I played for the University of Tennessee back in the 80’s and every home game we packed our stadium with 100,000 fans. I think our entrance is the best, and it’s been said you are “steeped in southern football pageantry” when we run through that T! GO VOLS!!! 9:02 that is how an entrance is done!!
Hell yeah! GO VOLS! 🍊
Excited about this year. Nicco time!

I would recommend the experience of seeing a college game over the NFL anytime. So much more fun.
On Friday night even the highschool stands are jam packed on home games, the stands are livid, every big play, every big hit, you can feel the atmosphere of the place, American football is deff one of the most chilling sports
I much prefer high school football and D3 college football to the colleges that give out scholarships at D1 and D2.
@@melissawilliams2492don't you want kids to have scholarships?
Not in a lot of big cities. It's big in small towns.
College football is by far more fun to watch, than the nfl. Just the traditions of the schools, the crowds, etc just makes it more enjoyable.
I concur. The college game is a lot more passionate than the corporate and soulless NFL.
nah nobody can make a tackle
Unless you like to watch good football lol. I won't deny for a second going to a college game is more fun. But the actual product on the field isn't even close in comparison.
Its more enjoyable unless you like to watch good football
@@devinfusella150our tackles filter though to the NFL so you don't make sense. Besides aren't you in the process of banning tackling 😂
That beautiful horse being rode by a guy with a flaming spear which is then planted into the field is an Appaloosa, and the name of the horse is Renegade. My favorite. My other favorite is Wake Forest. They drive a chopper out on the field. Not as exciting, but I like motorcycles so … And the Hurricanes and their fog entrance is cool as well.
Iam not even a FSU fan BUT being live at a FSU game. Seeing Chief Osceola and Renegade drive the Spear into the 50 Yard line will give you chills. Bobby Bowden started this tradition. It’s runs deep.
Some compare college football to life and death. But it's really much more important than that.
Almost as important as Steeler football, too.

Does the rider with the spear actually throw it into the ground at the 50 IRL; or is it just something EA Sports added to the video game? I never see it happen in the real clips and was just curious.
@@saplingthrasher23FSU alum here. He actually throws it down at the 50. His handlers then pull it up and extinguish the flame.

It's pretty cool too, with the United States' fraught history with using indigenous symbols/ideas as mascots without consulting the actual living members of that tribe or nation; Florida State actually consulted with the Seminole (the name of the nation and the name of the team, Florida State Seminoles) elders when coming up with the mascot. They got the blessing of the culture they're using and they try and be authentic and respectful in their portrayal of that very, very cool culture and history. It's a rare feel-good story.
@@eva11883 and when FSU came under pressure to change the name like many other sports teams who were forced to change their "offensive" names the Seminole Tribe stepped in and said we gave them permission to use our name so go pound sand.
@@suflanker45 to be fair the other teams didn't go to the lengths the FSU team did to be respectful in their portrayal. It's true that the "offensiveness" varies in each case, some (cough -the commanders -cough) are unequivocally offensive, others are more like FSU. What's frustrating is that it's easy to be respectful and inoffensive, but so many teams/groups won't even do a quick Wikipedia dive to avoid glaringly offensive portrayals. Blegh, sorry for the wall of text.

They missed the highlight of South Carolina’s entrance! There’s a special box left on the field, and their mascot, ‘Cocky,’ pops out of it surrounded by fireworks. As for Clemson, that thing everyone was touching is Howard’s Rock, a treasured piece from Death Valley, which is also the name of their stadium. It was named after Frank Howard, a legendary Clemson football coach.
I commented saying he should see Carolina’s entrance at night from the last 2 years with the light show
LOL, you mean the chicken breaking out of cage while people spray fire extinguishers at it? Actually, Sandstorm with all the fans yelling USC in cadence will get ya fired up. But for my money, nothing beats running down the hill. I wish they'd showed a little more of the bus ride around the stadium and had Tiger Rag with volume up. Signed, a Clemson fan.
@@BrandonHoffman-n3rNah clemsons entrance is boring. Carolina's is so hype, especially at night!
When you're born in Alabama, you look up, and you see blue and orange (Auburn) and crimson and white (Alabama). And you have a decision to make. And it's for LIFE. ROLL TIDE! Thanks for the reactions!
The team with the orange T is the Tennessee Volunteers (University of Tennessee, at Knoxville). The University of Texas (technically, University of Texas, at Austin, the flagship school), wears 'burnt' orange and white. Their logo is the head (no details, not in profile, but looking directly at it) of a longhorn steer in orange, with a white helmet.
The one where they jumped up and touched the "Go Blue" banner is Michigan Stadium and it seats 107,601 and is called "The Big House. It's the largest stadium in the US based on capacity. And they sell out EVERY game.

I really enjoyed your reaction. Several college football stadiums have over 100,000 in attendance. Tailgating before and after the game is also a thing so it’s an all day event. I don’t think you addressed this but what you see is what happens during regular games and not just finals or championships. Looking forward to more reactions videos from you. Keep up the good work!

Most Clemson students who aren't student-athletes are from SC & many alumni stay in SC so they don't need to travel far for home games.
Many college games have bigger crowds than the pro games in fact many college stadiums are bigger than the pro stadiums.
On the current list of world's largest stadiums, US College stadiums are third through tenth (the top one and two are the *national stadiums* of India and North Korea). Breaking the streak, at eleventh is the Melbourne Cricket Ground (which, as you know, is immense). @patrolnation
I graduated from Clemson University, and seeing the Tigers run down the hill STILL gives me cold chills!
I am a Clemson alumni and yes, it's that electrifying in the stadium when our team runs down the hill during game day. The stadium gets so loud, it registers as an earthquake in the Geology Dept. Richter scale. I also played rugby while at Clemson.
I remember the first time my parents took me as a kid! I loved it!
Yep, as a VT fan living in GVL.. been too a few Clemson games.. but nothing is like Home in Blacksburg! Lane stadium is even louder with 20k less seats! Both great game day environments!
Several stadiums around the country do the same thing. I'm a Hokie and my sister is a geophysicist who graduated from The University of Oregon. Both of those schools also register on the Richter scale. Hokies have the best entrance!!!
I don’t think that’s true, Clemson has one of the loudest stadiums in college football, and they registered 132 decibels in 2007
Gamecock fan here. Forever to thee
at the 8:57 mark, that is the University of Tennessee at Knoxville - there are roughly 107,000 people in that stadium - when the band forms the "T" and it opens, the crowd noise is so loud even the band members can't hear their own instruments - I know, I played tuba there from 90-93 and that was when the stadium only held 93,000...... Neyland Stadium holds the current noise record for college stadiums at 137dB

Let’s go hokies! I’ll never forget going to my first college football game my freshman year and feeling goosebumps when the crowd started chanting at each other. Enter sandman is part of my identity.
I’m certain you don’t play “Enter Sandman” before you go to sleep at night.
The "T" is the University of Tennessee, their Neyland Stadium seats over 100,000 and is often considered the loudest in all of college football. However, night games are louder and more raucous everywhere than day games.
I grew up in East Tennessee and used to go to Vols football games in Knoxville. At the time Neyland Stadium was the 3rd largest behind Michigan & Ohio St. You could feel the electricity when you attended a game. You get a sense of it on video, but it’s nothing like being there!
There are only 32 professional football teams located in major cities. There are 134 Division 1 college football teams. So it's much easier for people to see a college team. I prefer college football because it's unpredictable compared to professional football. When Virginia Tech enters and they're playing Enter Sandman the jumping actually registers on the Richter scale. My favorite college football team is alabama, roll tide. My favorite protein is New Orleans Saints because I went to college with the head coach.
lol protein, I had to re-read that a few times to realize it was a typo. That's awesome you went to college with Allen. I'm a Raiders fan and actually liked his short tenure there.
College football , in terms of competition, is the worst of ALL major sports because so many of the games are blowouts and over by halftime. Yes I'm sure the home crowd at the alabama game is enjoying the 35-10 lead at halftime, the rest of America has left the game to go mow their lawn. That's why the pro game destroys the college game in tv ratings
@@TimmycooYeah, I was confused for a second.
I'm a Colts fan. Went to the Raiders/Colts game last year. You guys are a different breed. The fans looked like post apocalyptic pirates. Smoking inside while eating the continental breakfast in the hotel lobby (literally). It looked like they were literally raiding Indy. 😂

My ex brother in law played on that first team than ran down the hill into the stadium, the Clemson Tigers. He played on the team with Refrigerator Perry. Google him. I went to that stadium to see them play and went to the cotton bowl in Shreveport Louisiana to watch him play. When my kids were in high school, on home games for the football team as soon as student parking started getting empty , the parents and fans would start piling in and setting up for tailgating. Bring out bbq grilles, coolers filled with drinks, camp chairs and music. Also, ESPN and local news crews would be there with their satellite trucks to capture the action. My son went to GA TECH where they have the ramblin wreck, one nephew went to Alabama and another went to UGA (University of Georgia).
The team that enters with enter sandman, registers on Richter scale 😂

No wonder why VT consistently kicks UVA’s butt, Enter Sandman I think gives the Hoos the biggest shivers and frights.
The first one is Clemson in Clemson SC. Foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The hill the players run down has a small little plateau and thats when the guys get air and jump up. It is also the students section and there are no seats right there. You have got to hear the band play tiger rag! Everytime Clemson scores they shoot off a small cannon and the mascot a tiger (not a real one, some other colleges do have live animals, GA bulldogs have UGA) does pushups of the score. Watching on tv is thrilling but nothing like being there! My daughter, graduated from Clemson w/a biomedical engineering degree. Go Tigers!
9:43 mark is my FSU Seminoles and I spent 3 years as a Marching Chief playing Saxophone and I assure you that as awesome as our crowd is, there is nothing like being on the field for it. I played that Warchant probably a million times and I will proudly play it a million more when we go back for Homecomings and march. You should look for the video "loudest moments at Doak Campbell Stadium" - we do it right. It's the crowd and pageantry that completely separates NFL and college ball
He should do one of the band entrances, just before. They're amazing, and sets the tone for the fans. I must admit to being an Ohio State person, but still, the bands rock.
The Metallica entrance can't be beat.
The music slowly winding you up is what makes it epic.

Eight of the 10 largest sports stadiums in the world are college football stadiums in the US. The traditions, rivalries and history are so deep. Saturdays from September through December are special
College Football is essentially our Premier League of European Football. The rivalries run deep, theres real hatred, real pride, real fights, real love, and real energy for College Sports in America. The Manchester City and United rivalry is essentially the Alabama and Auburn rivalry also known as the Iron Bowl in Football and it started all the way back in 1893. Both colleges located in the state of Alabama and there's real bad blood there. Lots of history in football especially in college because that's where it all started then the professional leagues started.
Not even close to MICHIGAN vs OHIO STATE RIVALRY. bama/auburn is a battle. MICHIGAN/OHIO STATE IS WAR!
Great comparison! It's very true, the NFL just doesn't have that same reach, it's only a handful of large cities.
Or the Michigan vs Ohio State rivalry which is so huge that we actually hate the entire state lol
There is nothing like being in the crowd to feel that energy. I've been to an Auburn vs. Georgia on a Friday night. SPECTACULAR
It is very heartbreaking when your college football team loses a game. It can ruin your whole week. The game grabs your emotions. Every point scored, every tackle, fumble, referee call has such a grab on your feelings. Such an experience!
You need to watch the ‘Iowa Hawkeyes’ wave.
University of Iowa’s stadium is right by children’s hospital.
Every game, the entire stadium turns & waves to the kids! 👋🏼
The kids dress up & hold signs.
It’s so sweet!
Played college ball for 3 yrs and the adrenaline of running out in front of a crowd like this is like nothing youll ever feel again....ive seem guys brought to tears because their body literally didnt know what to do with the emotions and adrenaline. Its absolutely wild and something ill miss until the day im gone.

A difficult schools to get into.The Notre Dame University fighting Irish is a large private Catholic school.Texas A&M University was a Military school at one time. Now co-ed. The VT stands for Virginia Tech University where my son went to school. The schools make big money off the games. It's FUN !

Gotta be the most overrated. I have a buddy that goes to Clemson and said that Carolina's atnosphere was better than Clemsons!
Last year 2023 in Texas our largest highschool classification 6A Division 1 had over 40,000 spectators at the game
I played in high school basketball ball game in the 80s with prolly 5000 people in attendance graduating class was 46!
@8:58 The University of Tennessee Volunteers. The University of Tennessee was a university before Texas was even a state.
I frequently remind my Texas friends of that fact and of the important role that Tennesseans played in Texan independence. Go Vols! 🧡
Davy Crockett decided he would rather die in Texas than live in Tennessee!
HOOK ‘EM🤘🏻🤘🏻
For perspective, Michigan and Tennessee (the T logo) stadiums are about 110,000 fans in one stadium.
Hurricanes are The University of Miami sports moniker and our mascot is Sebastian the Ibis....legend is that the Ibis (it's a bird) is the last to leave and 1st to return after a hurricane.

Hated by many, loved by few. We are The U!!!!!
@@dml6310 It's a CANES thing, they just don't understand
I always wondered why they had the Ibis, as a lifelong Nole fan. That's pretty cool.
Nothing in the world compares to the passion of college football.
Bro paused when he heard "A Metallica song wrote 26 years ago," thought "Damn I'm old," then un-paused. 🤣
A few months ago, I realized the only time I ever went to a game in Lane Stadium, Enter Sandman hadn't even been released by Metallica yet.
That didn't make me feel young.
College Football has been around longer than pro football, these stadiums are filled like this every weekend. American Football has been around since 1869 almost as long as Soccer/Football. The average stadium seats 80,000 but some like the University of Michigan seat 107,600 people.
That's crazy ! And awesome
The team with the orange uniforms with the power T on the helmets were the University of Tennessee Volunteers. The red flag with the three stars in the blue center circle is our state flag.
Since you ain't from these parts, I'll give you a pass, but please - for the love all that it good and holy, please do not mistake Tennessee for Texas. They're our cousins. Our weird, big talking, big hat wearing, Austin tolerating cousins...
The video didn't show much, but you should look up a full video of the performance that the Pride of the Southland Marching Band does before every Tennessee football home game. It's worth the watch. Honestly, for about 10 years the band was the best part about watching a game at Neyland Stadium.
If you've never experienced jump around at Camp Randell your missing out the whole stadium shakes it's wild
I'm from the Virginia Tech area (team from the second clip) and nothing gets me more fired up then "Enter Sandman."
My opinion only (and as an SEC grad I’ll likely be doxed for saying this), Virginia Tech has THE best entrance in CFB. Period.
Let’s Go Hokies!!
5:03 "Look at all the people!" That's the largest stadium in the continent.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the largest stadium in the continent. 257, 457 seats.
@@michaelbragg6903 Sorry, I failed to specify largest *sport* stadium
Know a lot of racing fans. Never heard any of them refer to motor speedways as "stadiums"
@@justinfitzgerald5885 IMS does
@@justinfitzgerald5885 They're always excluded from such lists
Even as an American it’s insane to me that these players go through experiences like this on a Saturday and then have English 103 class Monday morning
The Huskers have sold out every home game since 1962.
Week 4 (Sept. 20th) of this year against Illinois will be the 400th!
