Top College football stadiums

**SwagMorris** · 06-12-2009, 01:33 PM

Saw today in 2001 Neyland stadium was voted by the Sporting News as the number 1 college football stadium. Wondered what the sports misc. thought would be the number 1 of today.

(yes bored, yes can't wait for football season)

Poll coming momentarily so be patient...

With little knowledge of college football stadiums (I've only seen games played in UNC, Maryland, Utah Utes, BYU, and San Diego St Aztecs lol, non of these exactly meccas of cfb), I'm voting for Bama because every time I watch a game on TV that's there it just seems like the craziest.

OSU (oklahoma) just got a brand new multi million dollar facility built, so they win

Our stadium itself isn't that great (WVU). It's the people that make it what it is.

So I've heard. My neighbor when I lived in Maryland went to WVU, and he said him and his buddies would piss in water balloons and throw them at opposing teams fans. Pretty gay of him. Doing his best R. Kelly impersonation I guess.

Same thing with Oregon. Not the biggest stadiums but the shape of it and the fans make it crazy.

Yeah I've personally never seen piss water balloons but I have heard of it. A lot of people do worse **** like throw glass alcohol bottles or full soda bottles down the stands from up top. I've seen someone throw their shoes.

The renovations to the Big House make it the best IMO. Seriously looks awesome.

**=T Bone=** · 06-12-2009, 01:42 PM

Death valley deserves a mention. I have always wanted to go to happy valley as well

But, I gotta pick Bd (big suprise huh

)

If you were in the this crowd during this play, you would say the same thing (unless of course you are batman

)

This. Obviously I'm a little biased, but it is a pretty damn awesome stadium. Only knock on it in the past has been that it seems so "open" and doesn't retain sound as well, despite it being the biggest in the nation (depending on the year... PSU and Tenn have also held the title). The new press boxes and added seats make it MUCH more intimidating.

This is what it will look like...

Damn straight. I love watching the NFL, but overall it isn't even close for me. I can wake up at 10am on a Saturday, watch College Gameday until noon and then watch games until midnight, and love every second of it.

Lucky bastard lol

Obvious homer vote to beaver stadium. The student section is ridiculous, and the whole stadium white out with almost 110 grand is amazing.

Looks awesome.

Bama @ Penn st in 011, I would really like to go to that game. Guess I'll be a c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-combo breaker with my red on lol

I really want to go to a game there. Looks awesome.

I remember the Michigan vs Penn State game in 2006. I was watching it on TV and it looked absolutely insane. Really good game too. If I remember correctly the players said they were having trouble hearing themselves talk on the field.

We ended up taking out two of PSU's qb's though lol. That was the year our defense was only allowing about 40 rush yards a game.

Woah.. no LSU?

It's top-3 consensus.. and the only stadium to my knowledge to ever trigger an earthquake..

Damn. Would have put them in ahead of Notre Dame and FSU for sure.

Ran out of room

edit: also didn't have room for Texas, Texas A&M, OU, Nebraska, Auburn, Oregon, Va Tech, Clemson, USC (Gamecocks), Georgia. All schools that could easily be included on the list.

**hockeyislife9** · 06-12-2009, 02:36 PM

personally im a notre dame fan, but im gonna have to say happy valley, or beaver stadium, when they do white out's it is absolutley insane,especially the one against nd in 07

**jcollins28** · 06-12-2009, 02:39 PM

Pole is fail. How could you have this pole and not include the Rose Bowl? BTW the Coliseum sucks ass. Worst part of L.A, see a football game and get robbed all in one day.

Eye of the beholder. They're two different worlds, brah

CFB for the atmosphere
NFL for the love of the game

As for the vote I can't really say. I'd have to say from the pics that I saw that Bama's is top. LSU's is sick too

NFL for the love of the game? Whoooaaaa buddy. Completely the opposite for me. I love college football more because the players aren't playing for money or endorsements, they're playing because they love the game (obviously there are guys in the NFL who love it as well, but more so in college). More passion in CFB as well IMO, although it depends on where you go.

Yeah add passion to CFB. CFB is fun because of the atmosphere and passion

I mean love of the game as in schematics of how they play. They're pros for a reason. They have to be nearly perfect at every position to play and that's what I dig

Ahhh ok gotcha. The game in the NFL is much more complicated and technical, so I'll agree with you on that.

No kidding. And one world is better than the other.

College football: atmosphere, rivalries, traditions, history, co-eds
NFL: better product, that's honestly all I can think of

Most people feel a bigger connection to the schools that they follow than the NFL teams that are in their home towns. I'm sure it's different for people like Steelers and Packer fans though.

Yea definitely depends where you live. Try being from Michigan. The Lions are barely ever talked about unless it's in a joking manner. They're my team but I can't really consider myself a super fan at all. U of M football, on the other hand, is talked about everywhere. Different world.

I don't have an NFL team here

I follow my Boys religiously though

As for CFB I follow the Utes equally, but it's totally different to me. When I think of CFB I think of rowdy fans and a heated game. They may or may not care about the game, but it's still fun. Fun as hell actually, but not what I prefer

When I think of NFL I watch with and talk to people that know the game in, out, left, right, up, and down and can watch it 24/7. I like it more for the technical side than anything else
