I realize it's difficult to rank so many stadiums when no one can possibly see them all in person in a timely manner. That said, this ranking seemed to weigh factors beyond the stadium more than the stadium itself. Fan support, location, program notoriety, all seemed to be given equal or even greater value than the stadium design itself. You literally can predict the top 5 without watching the video.
agreed. that’s why i was sad but not surprised when kansas was at 66. it looks horrible but when full is a great place to watch a game. only knock imo is lack of bathrooms (other than bland design)
@@joeym5243 NU undergrad enrollment is about 8600. For Duke, it’s about 6000. At Stanford, it’s 7800. Vanderbilt has about 7000. Also, at these schools, any money derived from athletics goes into the general school fund, rather than re-circulated solely through athletics. And, the endowment funds obviously go to pay for a lot more than new stadiums, since these are academically-inclined institutions.
UW didn't copy that overhang from the Seahawks stadium, it's the other way around. The overhangs is similar to what they had prior to their recent renovation. That look has been around since the 70s for them.
Seriously opponents have been whining about the loudness of the stadium since the 70s. I swear this guy thinks we build Husky Stadium in the 90s or something but the most recent renovations made it smaller and quiter
"weird grassy area" -- Some guy who's never sat on the grass hill with the students at any college game. Also, #8 on the list has a grassy area which doesn't get mentioned, but is one of the best places to watch college football period. Anyway, interesting methodology - I wouldn't want to have to rank all these and deal with the fallout from fans. I don't agree that the bigger stadiums necessarily have the best atmospheres or get the loudest. A number of the traditional SEC schools aren't actually the best places to watch football while some of the smaller, "blander" stadiums in the ACC or PAC-12 are better and louder than expected. That said, I've been to a surprising number of these, and almost any of them can be a great place to watch a good game if they are at or close to capacity.
DG Bingo: "Two-deck approach" "End zone's not completed" "Two walls of seats" "They struggle to fill it" "There's nothing terrible about it" "Built up" "But let's be honest" "Dealing with empty seats" "Mini-upper deck"
Cal student here, CMS games where the sun is out and it's over 78 outside (rare) usually makes me not want to go unless we play a relevant team. However, sunset kickoff games are truly immaculate. If you look west from any high point within the stadium, you can see the golden gate bridge, our bell tower, the bay, with the mountains as a backdrop. There's also the Hayward fault line that runs North-South through our stadium so CMS was constructed to allow two halves of the stadium to slide against each other in case of seismic activity. Great video! Subbed :)
As a Baylor alum, I'm biased, but I think McLane is beautiful, especially from the outside and when it's lit up. The open endzone is great since it's right on the river. Not a bad placement though considering some of the others above it.
Agree with you. As a WVU fan that's traveled to most of our away games, McLane is by far the nicest in Big 12 and top 10 overall. Bigger is not always better. Not real sure what this guy is basing his opinions on.
@@MtnMan62 Thanks! can understand being against an open end zone, but I do feel it can work well and be done for a reason other than not being able to garner enough fans. Baylor I feel wanted to make it big enough but focus on the design and beauty, plus the hill is nice for families and provides some variety. And the view and nice scoreboard.
@@MtnMan62 McLane is definitely a nice stadium with a great location but the atmosphere isn't real great. It was pretty quiet when I went, never felt worried about the game, and people were leaving at halftime in a good game. I went to the OSU game in 2022 and figured being a big 12 championship rematch it would be nuts, was very dissapointed
Ok, you criticize many pro football stadiums because they are just bowls with no view from the outside... then you criticize college stadiums for being too open and not connected. College stadiums eapecially grow over time. And many of them have soul. Sit in the East Stands of Lane Stadium in late October and admire the gorgeous scenery of campus against a backdrop of chicago maroon and burnt orange mountainsides... and be there for a night game when Enter Sandman plays. College stadiums are about atmosphere. Lane should be Top 20.
As someone who lives right in the heart of Hawkeye country, I can agree that Kinnick can be connected a little better. When they completely renovated the north end zone a few years ago, they enclosed it to make that end of the stadium louder. The first time it was really noticeable was when Penn State came to town a couple years ago. They were deep in their own territory in that end of the stadium and got called for three straight false starts because the north end zone is ridiculously loud. At some point, maybe in a few years, I could see them trying to do the same to the south end zone to fully enclose the stadium
It's funny how some of your rankings are based on future renovations, and some aren't, like Texas Tech. You also need to include the exterior on every ranking. Yours was ad hoc. If you look at Tech's exterior facade and incorporate this year's new digital lighting, I feel you would rank it much higher.
No respect for UVa. The hill is unique and makes it cool when you rush the field. The pillars behind that is all over the University. It gives it character.
@@PHXNKVHXLIC Well not in the Tony Elliott era 😂. The last big one was against Va Tech in 2019. In the 2010s there’s been a couple against from ranked Miami. Definitely more disappointing losses than wins but field stormings happen.

SECU Stadium is incredibly unbalanced. But Maryland is very limited with what they can do. Because of where it's located they kind of had to build the pressbox/suite side as a huge vertical wall. The opposite side was added on in the mid 90s when Maryland's basketball team was good and student enrollment grew alot. And the one endzone is Attached to the practice facility which is Cole Field House. Since it's on the National List of Historic Places they can't tear it down and the amount of alterations they can do are limited
Agreed, it is gorgeous inside and out and the view of downtown Minneapolis from the stands is spectacular if you're in the right location. I do find this channel entertaining, but partly because he has some truly bizarre opinions. (Not that anyone is not allowed to like or dislike any one thing, but what he says he likes and what he says he doesn't like seem to frequently contradict each other)
It's taken a few years for HBS to feel like a real college stadium and I think it does now. Attendance this year has been great despite a middling record as well (though he is right, some folks don't show for Nov games against non-rivals, so we'll see what it looks like). Ross-Ade and Camp Randall are dumpy and overrated in my view
The size of Hard Rock Stadium isn’t the issue for Miami. It’s how far it is off campus. Takes like an hour to get there. An on campus stadium of the same capacity would get a good crowd maybe even sell out if Miami is good
couple corrections on husky stadium, it's been like that since 1950 and they just renovated it but it's the same concept as before just bigger and nicer. It's one of the most scenic stadiums in college football being right next to a lake where tailgaters can use yachts to get to the stadium and holds the record for loudest stadium in college football with a record 133 dcb that record has stood since 92
Tennessee (Neyland stadium) also, has river frontage wild game day boat parties. A rabid fan base, and when the Vols are winning, it's packed to over 100,000 crazy yet generally polite people. I love the PNW thō, and UW is class all around top notch. I'm just stuck down here in GA, and a Pacific NW transplant going on over 30 years now😂 I still love rain and consider complete overcast, perfect ideal weather.
All buildings on the Kansas State's campus have limestone exterior. It's a school requirement that all campus buildings have limestone exterior. The west side, which is your exterior pix, has a castle theme. To bad you don't have the east side pix which has the new indoor and outdoor practice fields. There's just a wide sidewalk between The Bill and the new indoor field. Many visiting coaches have said The Bill is one of the loudest places to play in the country!

indiana memorial stadium used to have a mini replica football field behind one of the end zones. as a kid i remember playing there and watching the game. i swear it existed
Other than the fact the rankings are reflective of having painfully poor taste, how is possible to have so much basic information wrong? The overhangs at Husky Stadium are a ripoff of the Seahawks stadium? May want to check the dates when those two places were built, spanky.
As a Nebraska fan I’m obviously mad that iowa’s stadium is ahead of ours but kudos to them on finding a way to win on pure defense and the children’s hospital right next to the stadium is cool
1. Tiger Stadium-LSU 2. Beaver Stadium- Penn State 3. Notre Dame Stadium-Notre Dame (History) 4. Gaylord Family Stadium- Oklahoma 5. Ohio Stadium- OSU 6. Clemson Memorial Stadium- Clemson 7. Kyle Field- Texas A&M 8. Bryan Denny Stadium- Alabama 9. Autzen Stadium- Oregon 10.- Ben Hill Griffith- Florida. My top 10 list. I factored in game enviornment, unique look, coolness, and design. I hate plain bowl stadiums like Michigan and Tennessee. I don't know why people think those basic stadiums are so great.
I love Michigan Stadium. It's so symmetrical in its beauty. You are correct it is built into the ground and the reason for that is, before it was built, Michigan played at Ferry Field nearby and the stands collapsed and some people were injured. In order to avoid that in the future Michigan stadium was built into the ground. That design was also chosen to future proof the stadium. It's foundation is designed so that the capacity could be potentially increased to 150,000.
I’m a student at Tennessee, and went to the South Carolina game this past weekend. You aren’t lying in saying that stadium gets loud, especially at night. My ears were ringing during the game. It was awesome. Go Vols!
Gotta love DG not doing his research 😂 Autzen Stadium is actually very similar to the old Liberty Bowl in Memphis that Memphis plays at. So no it’s not the only one designed like that. It is cool tho
The L&N stadium (Louisville) should be top 20. It’s all chair back and very Large (NFL almost) really cool amenities, fairly new, night games are awesome. Hard to fill but when it is one of the toughest in the ACC to play behind Clemson. Unitas statue. Just a Sea of crisp Red.
You're missing it again on UVa. This campus was designed by Thomas Jefferson, ablbeit before football. Those columns are more important than pretty stadia. Or winning football.
Am I wrong or is UGA's (samford stadium) stadium nowhere on this list? I'm an FSU fan so I'm happy for the doak campbell representation (and for having it being relatively high up on the list) but since UGA is the most relevant team in college football rn its interesting that its not on here
They couldn't renovate Lane stadium at VT how they originally planned when it was first built due to a fault line right between the practice fields and jumbotron. They originally planned to make it a bowl style stadium as it grew.
As a season ticket holder for Purdue football I can definitely say it does get solidly loud especially when it sells out and night games are a completely different vibe vs a day game
Bro. Minnesota’s new diggs look beautiful to me. And different inside. (Buckeyes fan). The Jumbotron open side is very appealing and the suites section in the whole Upper side give a nice modern touch.
Hi I think you did a good job with this video but I think you criminally underrated the JMA wireless Dome. The renovations they did recently added a really cool scoreboard over the playing field like they have at At&t stadium just much smaller which is something that is unique to college football. They also replaced the entire roof and put in roof tiles to let it natural light and renovated all the suites to make them on par with bigger schools. Now I'm not saying it's a top ten stadium but it's probably middle of the pack. Now do the group of 5 stadiums if you have a moment
Dude needs to check his facts. Says the covers to the grandstands of Husky Stadium were a ripoff from the Seahawks stadium. The first cover to a grandstand was added in 1950. Seahawks weren’t even around then. The other side was covered in 1987, when the Seahawks were playing in a dome. The Seahawks current stadium was completed in 2002. Where did the Seahawks play while it was being built? Husky Stadium. Then, Husky Stadium was renovated in 2013. But grandstands had covers well before then. Get your facts right.
33:21 since this video CU is building a larger scoreboard on the south end zone, had cranes out there from the end of the season till at least the end of the school year with this change I’d put it 17th I have seen a game from the Duane tower(south end zone to the west) oddly comical since you can’t see the ball just massive hits One other thing is with prime coming in the atmosphere has been turned up to 11, I was at the dorm a mile away during the cu vs csu game last year and heard the stadium the entire game and around half an hour after Been to Folsom the most as a cu student, have also been to falcon field(Air Force) and husky stadium
South Carolina at 40 is crazy. One of the best atmospheres and intros of all time. One of the biggest screens if not the biggest. LEDs all the way around. 2001 intro/sandstorm not even mentioned ?? JOKE.
There's no way that Iowa's Kinnick stadium is better than Nebraska's Memorial stadium. I've been to both and it's not even close. Texas A&M has the best college stadium in my opinion
Carter-Finley has a really good gameday atmosphere including an excellent tailgating culture. Its light shows and fireworks at night games, pregame piper flyover + its new massive scoreboard make Carter-Finley more than the sum of its parts.
I always loved the University of Wyoming’s stadium for the tall pine trees in one side of the stadium to make it feel like your in a forest mountain environment ..and those iconic gold,white and brown mountains painted in the end zones….and at night the fan crowd energy is amazing and loud most games despite its smallish size. It’s high elevation ( highest in college football) is a cool home advantage in my opinion…somewhat intimidating to those lowland teams who aren’t accustomed to the thin Wyoming Mountain air….just ask Missouri and Texas Tech about it ! lol I think many of the mountain west stadiums should be included….I love the mountain west vibes they offer a college football fan even though they might not be as big or architecturally impressive.
Illinois' Memorial Stadium is one of the oldest surviving stadiums, built in 1923--it's now 100 years old--and updated since then, but remaining essentially the same over the years. For the record, brick exterior is indeed amazing. There are 1.2 million bricks... The columns are one of the reasons this stadium will never be torn down. There are 200, 186 with the names of the students and alumni who died in WWI, and the concourse where they are is accessible. You can walk among them and read the names and their units. One is named for a nurse who died in the influenza epidemic. There's more history that I won't go into now, but one of the cool things about the stadium is the top of the Assembl;y Hall (NOT the State Farm Center, alumni will tell you). There will be more updates as there were, and the football team is in a rebirth now. But if you want to talk about the stadium as it is, you have to look at its history.
Yeah, he seems to not know how some of these things tie into the rest of the campus, the pillars behind the grass match up with the architecture on campus. I have been there twice and it is a great stadium.
I think generally playing in an NFL stadium is cool, the only problem is the programs don't bring in sold out crowds each game, so they're dwarfed by the empty seats.
MIchigan got 115K in 2013 for the Notre Dame night game. There's a campus rumor that when built, they put footings in to accomodate a second tier which would accomodate an additional 20-30K seats
having been to many stadiums for games, I gotta say the new DKR should’ve been ranked a lot higher. Unless you’ve been there, you won’t understand DKR gave me chills. The south end zone looks unreal with the longhorn and the massive Jumbotron screen. Definitely the most impressive stadiums I’ve ever been to.
As someone who's been to Cal Memorial Stadium, you missed a big point, when youre on the upper east deck, you can see into the bay and see downtown san francisco. Its quite the sight.
Beaver stadium is definitely the best stadium I’ve been to and I’ve been to some of what people say are some of the best stadiums like neyland and bds but there is nothing like a psu whiteout
i did a lot of work on the carrier dome. its no longer supported by air with the new roof. so no more stupid rotating doors. i love The Dome. spent alot of my early career there
This was interesting I would have liked to seen you list the attendance of every one of these stadiums I'm curious as to what that would be you did a lot of work putting this together😊
I've been in a number of those stadiums. Husky Stadium is certainly a far deal better than any of those I have visited, including several that you ranked higher.
Funny as it may sound, of the 100s of college, NFL games I've been to, the Vanderbilt games at Dudley Field have always been the most memorable for whatever reason. Night games vs Auburn, Ole Miss. Little Neyland vs Tennessee... It's really not a bad place. Vandy is always horrible though.
So I didn't watch the whole video, skipped around to ones I wanted to listen about, but I have a question. Are the 2 stadiums in Iowa the only ones he misspelled the names of?
The building on the west end of Martin stadium is the football operations building you can see the stadium from the weight room and cafeteria its actually amazing
The pillars at Scott Stadium is a tribute to Thomas Jefferson and his home Monticello. If you lived in Charlottesville, you'd know the entire UVA campus has these pillars.
Did you look into Sanford stadium at all? Seats 93k+ people Sell out at almost every game 120+ Db crowd noise The slogan for the stadium is literally "Between the Hedges," yet you want to talk about Auburn's bushes. And what other stadium has a Skyclub that is climate controlled with a buffet.
16:51 As an Arizona Wildcats fan, can’t blame you for hating on the stadium. Very bland indeed, outside cosmetically is terrible. Though thought we might get some bonus points for the multiple story press box portion of the stadium on the west side that houses the school’s astronomy center and a huge space telescope, just purely out of cool bonus points
Washington didn't rip off the overhang idea from the Seahawks. Washington has had an overhang since 1950. Lumen was built in 2002.

indiana memorial stadium used to have a mini replica football field behind one of the end zones. as a kid i remember playing there and watching the game. i swear it existed
Thanks for naming the team as well as the stadium name it helps us out for sure ! Please do it with the NFL/MLB pro stadiums too ! Thanks!
Other than the fact the rankings are reflective of having painfully poor taste, how is possible to have so much basic information wrong? The overhangs at Husky Stadium are a ripoff of the Seahawks stadium? May want to check the dates when those two places were built, spanky.
As a Nebraska fan I’m obviously mad that iowa’s stadium is ahead of ours but kudos to them on finding a way to win on pure defense and the children’s hospital right next to the stadium is cool
My favorite stadium is unanimously Colorado’s. It looks good, has great atmosphere, and the natural scenery is breathtaking.
1. Tiger Stadium-LSU 2. Beaver Stadium- Penn State 3. Notre Dame Stadium-Notre Dame (History) 4. Gaylord Family Stadium- Oklahoma 5. Ohio Stadium- OSU 6. Clemson Memorial Stadium- Clemson 7. Kyle Field- Texas A&M 8. Bryan Denny Stadium- Alabama 9. Autzen Stadium- Oregon 10.- Ben Hill Griffith- Florida. My top 10 list. I factored in game enviornment, unique look, coolness, and design. I hate plain bowl stadiums like Michigan and Tennessee. I don't know why people think those basic stadiums are so great.
Ohio Stadium is an outsized, ugly hull
that was intense. Thanks. I enjoyed it that trip around the football world.
I love Michigan Stadium. It's so symmetrical in its beauty. You are correct it is built into the ground and the reason for that is, before it was built, Michigan played at Ferry Field nearby and the stands collapsed and some people were injured. In order to avoid that in the future Michigan stadium was built into the ground. That design was also chosen to future proof the stadium. It's foundation is designed so that the capacity could be potentially increased to 150,000.
The scariest part about LSU’s stadium is the fact that it still has room to grow.
I’m a student at Tennessee, and went to the South Carolina game this past weekend. You aren’t lying in saying that stadium gets loud, especially at night. My ears were ringing during the game. It was awesome. Go Vols!
I hope to go to UT. GO VOLS!!! 🍊🍊🍊
Yes sir Neyland is special place South Carolina already new before game honestly never had chance revenge was on 102k mind
It was once called the "tuna can" when it was aluminum siding. @@Ogga137
Houston’s stadium ahead of TCU’s and Baylor’s? WTF?!? These rankings are random and don’t seem to follow any criteria.
If I can make a suggestion, add the stadium capacity under the names. Enjoy the content keep it up!
Watching a game at Michigan is really tough. Lack of slope makes it tough to view and all the sound goes straight up. Not good.
Gotta love DG not doing his research 😂 Autzen Stadium is actually very similar to the old Liberty Bowl in Memphis that Memphis plays at. So no it’s not the only one designed like that. It is cool tho
Autzen Stadium has one of the best crowds in the country
Team colors plays an underrated role in stadiums. Cause in a packed stadium, the boring colors from fans cause a dull vibe
The L&N stadium (Louisville) should be top 20. It’s all chair back and very Large (NFL almost) really cool amenities, fairly new, night games are awesome. Hard to fill but when it is one of the toughest in the ACC to play behind Clemson. Unitas statue. Just a Sea of crisp Red.
You're missing it again on UVa. This campus was designed by Thomas Jefferson, ablbeit before football. Those columns are more important than pretty stadia. Or winning football.
That explains it all
Am I wrong or is UGA's (samford stadium) stadium nowhere on this list? I'm an FSU fan so I'm happy for the doak campbell representation (and for having it being relatively high up on the list) but since UGA is the most relevant team in college football rn its interesting that its not on here
Well. It’s Sanford not samford

@@danielking3134 that’s very true my fault
@@josephbenefield3782 oh wait you found it nice yeah I thought there was no way uga wasn’t on the list lmao
You forgot South Central Louisiana State
You can here the crowd from dkr while driving down 35 with the windows up. It's insane🤘🏼
DKR is the best stadium with the best atmosphere 🤘
This video was incredible love stuff like this. you should do live mascots 😂
Great idea
Smokey!!!!
They couldn't renovate Lane stadium at VT how they originally planned when it was first built due to a fault line right between the practice fields and jumbotron. They originally planned to make it a bowl style stadium as it grew.
Fav's are Husky Stadium, Kinnick Stadium and Tiger Stadium
As a season ticket holder for Purdue football I can definitely say it does get solidly loud especially when it sells out and night games are a completely different vibe vs a day game
do you like the renovation
At night it looks like the seating never ends. Just keeps going into the abyss
@@GrubWarphonestly it’s nice especially Tiller Tunnel I enjoy seeing the players come out heading our way rather than the south end zone
Purdue's fanbase is loud and loyal regardless of how they are doing outside of Hazell years
Bro. Minnesota’s new diggs look beautiful to me. And different inside. (Buckeyes fan). The Jumbotron open side is very appealing and the suites section in the whole
Upper side give a nice modern touch.
Shout out B1G
Husky stadium is waaaay older than the Seahawks stadium. The Seahawks took a page from UW
Stanford stadium is literally brand new. The old stadium was demolished.
Hi I think you did a good job with this video but I think you criminally underrated the JMA wireless Dome. The renovations they did recently added a really cool scoreboard over the playing field like they have at At&t stadium just much smaller which is something that is unique to college football. They also replaced the entire roof and put in roof tiles to let it natural light and renovated all the suites to make them on par with bigger schools. Now I'm not saying it's a top ten stadium but it's probably middle of the pack. Now do the group of 5 stadiums if you have a moment
no more being blown out when you leave tho
Dude needs to check his facts. Says the covers to the grandstands of Husky Stadium were a ripoff from the Seahawks stadium. The first cover to a grandstand was added in 1950. Seahawks weren’t even around then. The other side was covered in 1987, when the Seahawks were playing in a dome. The Seahawks current stadium was completed in 2002. Where did the Seahawks play while it was being built? Husky Stadium. Then, Husky Stadium was renovated in 2013. But grandstands had covers well before then. Get your facts right.
"Palace on the Prairie" aka Oklahoma's Memorial Stadium is top 5 in my book
37:33 I’m sorry to be that one guy, but it’s Griffin, not Griffith
33:21 since this video CU is building a larger scoreboard on the south end zone, had cranes out there from the end of the season till at least the end of the school year with this change I’d put it 17th
I have seen a game from the Duane tower(south end zone to the west) oddly comical since you can’t see the ball just massive hits
One other thing is with prime coming in the atmosphere has been turned up to 11, I was at the dorm a mile away during the cu vs csu game last year and heard the stadium the entire game and around half an hour after
Been to Folsom the most as a cu student, have also been to falcon field(Air Force) and husky stadium
As a Penn state fan, I 100% agree
South Carolina at 40 is crazy. One of the best atmospheres and intros of all time. One of the biggest screens if not the biggest. LEDs all the way around. 2001 intro/sandstorm not even mentioned ?? JOKE.
well it’s ugly
I know it’s not power 5 but UTEP may have the most beautiful football stadium and views!!!
Yes. Wonderful view of the mountains
There's no way that Iowa's Kinnick stadium is better than Nebraska's Memorial stadium. I've been to both and it's not even close. Texas A&M has the best college stadium in my opinion
Carter-Finley has a really good gameday atmosphere including an excellent tailgating culture. Its light shows and fireworks at night games, pregame piper flyover + its new massive scoreboard make Carter-Finley more than the sum of its parts.
I always loved the University of Wyoming’s stadium for the tall pine trees in one side of the stadium to make it feel like your in a forest mountain environment ..and those iconic gold,white and brown mountains painted in the end zones….and at night the fan crowd energy is amazing and loud most games despite its smallish size.
It’s high elevation ( highest in college football) is a cool home advantage in my opinion…somewhat intimidating to those lowland teams who aren’t accustomed to the thin Wyoming Mountain air….just ask Missouri and Texas Tech about it ! lol
I think many of the mountain west stadiums should be included….I love the mountain west vibes they offer a college football fan even though they might not be as big or architecturally impressive.
I guess need to need something to hold on to
Illinois' Memorial Stadium is one of the oldest surviving stadiums, built in 1923--it's now 100 years old--and updated since then, but remaining essentially the same over the years. For the record, brick exterior is indeed amazing. There are 1.2 million bricks... The columns are one of the reasons this stadium will never be torn down. There are 200, 186 with the names of the students and alumni who died in WWI, and the concourse where they are is accessible. You can walk among them and read the names and their units. One is named for a nurse who died in the influenza epidemic. There's more history that I won't go into now, but one of the cool things about the stadium is the top of the Assembl;y Hall (NOT the State Farm Center, alumni will tell you).
There will be more updates as there were, and the football team is in a rebirth now. But if you want to talk about the stadium as it is, you have to look at its history.
Scott stadium underrated imo
I love your videos
Great job! Love those stadium ranking videos!
I think UVA's stadium isn't that bad. The grass patch may be more even be more comfortable than sitting on bleachers.
Yeah, he seems to not know how some of these things tie into the rest of the campus, the pillars behind the grass match up with the architecture on campus. I have been there twice and it is a great stadium.
I think generally playing in an NFL stadium is cool, the only problem is the programs don't bring in sold out crowds each game, so they're dwarfed by the empty seats.
Sorry... Husky Stadium must be higher. Period.
It's a toilet.
Must be an Oregon fan from Florida 😂
@@tomlarson5388 obviously never been there.
The upper deck on Maryland reminds me of mount davis
12:01-Did anyone at Rutgers consider that they were one letter away from really having an embarrassing stadium name?
Dang this must have took you a very long time to make this video with all of the research, great video
I’m a Mississippi State fan and I went to Williams Brice and I loved it I think it’s should be higher
MIchigan got 115K in 2013 for the Notre Dame night game. There's a campus rumor that when built, they put footings in to accomodate a second tier which would accomodate an additional 20-30K seats
having been to many stadiums for games, I gotta say the new DKR should’ve been ranked a lot higher. Unless you’ve been there, you won’t understand DKR gave me chills. The south end zone looks unreal with the longhorn and the massive Jumbotron screen. Definitely the most impressive stadiums I’ve ever been to.
Yeah, but Texas sucks, so that's a huge drawback.
@@bugalaman not as much as your mother 🤫
@@bugalamanRanking says otherwise, also the team’s play doesn’t matter when they generate so much PR and have a better stadium than yours
As someone who's been to Cal Memorial Stadium, you missed a big point, when youre on the upper east deck, you can see into the bay and see downtown san francisco. Its quite the sight.
Kyle Field number 1 no doubt.
Beaver stadium is definitely the best stadium I’ve been to and I’ve been to some of what people say are some of the best stadiums like neyland and bds but there is nothing like a psu whiteout
i did a lot of work on the carrier dome. its no longer supported by air with the new roof. so no more stupid rotating doors. i love The Dome. spent alot of my early career there
I don’t see an issue with Vandy upgrading their stadium during the season.
Me neither
This was interesting I would have liked to seen you list the attendance of every one of these stadiums I'm curious as to what that would be you did a lot of work putting this together😊
I can't lie, I've never disagreed with a rankings video so hard. Thanks for the content though I guess
I think you missed North Carolina Tar Heels Stadium and Navy Marine Corp Stadium. In Annapolis, Md
UNC was #51 I believe and these are power 5 schools only
Thanks DG! I asked for this a few weeks ago!
BC’s Stadium is beautiful in my opinion. It fit’s in well with there beautiful campus.
Boston college
@@msn64man1 What about it?
@@BrownieCFBname of the college
@@msn64man1 Well, I know that…
@@BrownieCFB ok
I've been in a number of those stadiums. Husky Stadium is certainly a far deal better than any of those I have visited, including several that you ranked higher.
Did I miss Iowa State's football field?
They're used to being ignored/skipped/forgotten. No worries.
Yes it was on here
Funny as it may sound, of the 100s of college, NFL games I've been to, the Vanderbilt games at Dudley Field have always been the most memorable for whatever reason.
Night games vs Auburn, Ole Miss.
Little Neyland vs Tennessee...
It's really not a bad place.
Vandy is always horrible though.
Not when they play Ole Miss. Lol
Little Neyland!!! 😂😂😂
So I didn't watch the whole video, skipped around to ones I wanted to listen about, but I have a question. Are the 2 stadiums in Iowa the only ones he misspelled the names of?
somebody’s never been to a game at Kroger Field one of the best atmospheres in college football it gets so loud the stadium shakes
Would have liked to see stadium capacity and which stadiums you have actually been to. Great video! Loved it
The building on the west end of Martin stadium is the football operations building you can see the stadium from the weight room and cafeteria its actually amazing
The pillars at Scott Stadium is a tribute to Thomas Jefferson and his home Monticello. If you lived in Charlottesville, you'd know the entire UVA campus has these pillars.
Did you look into Sanford stadium at all?
Seats 93k+ people
Sell out at almost every game
120+ Db crowd noise
The slogan for the stadium is literally "Between the Hedges," yet you want to talk about Auburn's bushes.
And what other stadium has a Skyclub that is climate controlled with a buffet.
Where’s Jack Trice Stadium?
16:51
As an Arizona Wildcats fan, can’t blame you for hating on the stadium. Very bland indeed, outside cosmetically is terrible. Though thought we might get some bonus points for the multiple story press box portion of the stadium on the west side that houses the school’s astronomy center and a huge space telescope, just purely out of cool bonus points
