College football just has the explosiveness and atmosphere that’s lacking in the NFL, there’s a stronger sense of pride, tradition and energy in college than anything in NFL. That’s why college football attracts bigger crowds..
Not only that, most college Football fans love and support just one team. Has more of a hometown pride atmosphere. A lot of NFL fans support more than one team or are bandwagoners.
College isn't as dependent on skybox and premium seating as the NFL. Also seat prices are generally less than NFL stadiums (at least for most schools). Also keep in mind that most of these college programs not only pay for themselves, but also pay for athletics for the rest of schools.
College football stadiums have a beauty, and uniqueness that NFL stadiums lack. Also the crowds are the most electrifying in all of world wide sports. Yes maybe European soccer crowds sing more, but American college football crowds are more electrifying. There is nothing like the roar of 100k people (some stadiums), and the atmosphere it creates.
You mentioned the cost to build Baylors new stadium like it was expensive... It's actually regarded as one of the better value stadiums of the past couple decades
Oh, suggestions for next College Football video (because you know the demand for it is coming) - Bryant-Denny (Alabama) - Camp Randall (Wisconsin) - Neyland (Tennessee) - DKR-Memorial (Texas) - Amon G. Carter (TCU) - Kyle Field (Texas A&M) - California Memorial (California) - Yulman (Tulane) - Fargodome (North Dakota State) - "Bounce House" (UCF) - Michigan Stadium (Michigan) - Carrier Dome (Syracuse) - Bobby Dodd (Georgia Tech) - Center Parc Credit Union (Georgia State) - Nippert (Cincinnati)
UTEP alumnus here and I was not expecting you to put the Sun Bowl on this list. Those “hills” are more like mountains. With a stadium situated between mountains and with a view of Mexico in the near distance, this stadium is underrated and unique.
I'm not even a College football fan but I find this stadiums beautiful. The husky, and the McLane are my favorites though. The scenery views the fans get inside those stadiums must be amazing!
Michigan Stadiim simply put The Big House regularly host over 110, 000 fans and had world records for most fans to attend both NHL and college hockey games outdoors as well as college football and possibly a soccer match?!
I was at the Man U vs Real Madrid game there in 2014 and it was hot! It was on August 4th if I recall, and we got these amazing Real Madrid scarfs as part of our tickets but I hated having to keep it on my shoulder since it was like 95°, sunny and humid and I didn't want to hold it. As a season ticket holder I've been to plenty of early September games where it is beastly hot (Lloyd Carr's first game, the season opener against Virginia in '95 comes to mind) but never was Michigan Stadium hot as it was during that Man U/Real Madrid game.
Mclane stadium is actually known to be one of the best stadiums for its price. For 250million its insanely good. Stadiums like it go for easily 700million plus since they add alot of unnecessary sqft
It’s a great place to watch a game, although very hot in the summer. Tailgating before the game and then walk over the Brazos River to get to the game, super fun. And I live 10 minutes from the stadium.
Great vid man! McLane Stadium really does make good use of the covered seating. The reason why the Sun Bowl doesnt have covered seating is because nobody goes to UTEP football games. lol
Not only is the University of Oregon close to the Nike headquarters but the founder of Nike, Phil Knight, is an Oregon alum and their primary benefactor.
The college football attendance equation is simple: Untapped medium markets + a large captive audience of thousands of university students and faculty = profit
Fun fact, college football predates the NFL by 50 years, it was the only football that mattered in the US well into the 1960s. Also, "student sections" typically account for only 15%-20% of a stadium's attendance.
When it comes to San Antonio having a CFL team: I'm afraid you were reading that correctly. Back in the early 1990's, the CFL thought it would be a great idea to expand to the US. While the CFL was successful in Baltimore, MD (before the old Browns moved and became the Ravens), it didn't pan out in Sacramento, CA (who moved to San Antonio), Shreveport, LA, Memphis, TN, Birmingham, AL and Las Vegas, NV. The Baltimore Stallions ended up moving to Montreal and became the reincarnation of the Alouettes. And now the CFL and XFL's parent company are negotiating a possible merger. Let's see how that will work out.
Jones AT&T stadium in Lubbock Texas is a stadium "on the move". Why you ask? Well it's east side grand stands were moved 225ft in 1959 to the east on railroad tracks. This was to facilitate the lowering of the playing surface below ground level and add the current inner bowl section you see in the stadium today. The two main grand stands on the east and west side are the two oldest structures in the facility since they were able to save them and incorporate them into the expansion. Also its architecture is cool and fits the same spanish style the rest of campus of texas tech university is known for.
"Watching some sweaty minors run around in tight pants" XD. Camp Randall as well as Michigan Stadium or "the big house" are some impressive stadiums with Michigan Stadium holding the title as the largest stadium in the US
Every time I think of Ohio Stadium, I hear Keith Jackson talking about "the old horseshoe on the banks of the Olentangy". BTW, I believe it is pronounced "Olentanjee".
I live in Boulder, CO and while there is a lot I don't like about it, everytime you walk out of Home Depot you have the most incredible view of the Flatirons with the stadium on a hill in the fore ground, its incredible. Boulder has a height restriction of 40 feet for buildings so there are incredible views of the mountains all over the city
Neyland stadium should’ve been included! It can seat over 100,000 fans and is the home to the Tennessee Volunteers. It was one of if not the only stadium in the SEC that does not use nets to catch balls after field goals or PATs. It has also sparked many other colleges interests in the checkerboard design in the end zones. Give it a look!
@@Jon.A.Scholt I'm a born and bred cheese head, but both of my Grandma's were yoopers (they're angels now), I almost feel more at home up there than I do here.
Husky Stadium has the record of having the third loudest crowd noise in the world reaching 130 decibels and the loudest in college football. 70% of the seating are between the end zones under cover of it's 2 massive counter lever roofs that channel all of that noise straight down on to the field. It is only 1 of 3 college stadiums you can arrive by boat but the only one by luxury yacht. It not only has views of Lake Washington and Mt. Rainier but also the Cascade Mountain Range to the east and the Olympic Mountains to the west. It also might be the most or one of the most high tech collegiate stadium internally after it's nearly $300 million renovation completed in 2013. Given that the Seattle area is a major tech center.
"Ah the giant horse must have left his shoes off for a swim" Considering that we Ohioans like to refer to the Olentangy River as the "Old and stanky river", that’s one messy horse
Spot on about the Sun Bowl all ways believed it to be one of the most unique and prettiest setting for a FB stadium. Funny thing I was just thinking about that stadium the other day then stumbled upon your video and I am not from El Paso or attended college there. Ever drove bybthat place which i have going to California it something special to seen traveling on I-10. Some of your other picks like The Buffaloes, Ducks, Baylor, Huskies, Hoae Shoe, let's me know you know your stadiums and what makes a unique venue Great Job!
Navy Marine Corp Memorial Stadium. The upper deck is ringed by the names and places of famous battles that sailors and Marines fought in throughout the history of the United States. A grim reminder of the sacrifices that graduates of this university have, and may, endure in defense of the nation. Coach Lou Holtz was to have said about this list of battles, “Wow! Navy sure plays a tough schedule!”
Michie Stadium on Wets Point Post. Hudon River Valley, the Grounds of West Point, nobody takes a knee, watching true amatures play, and everybody gets it.All make this facility the absolute best.
Love the videos! Include Neyland Stadium in the next one. 100,000 people, and it’s on the banks of the Tennessee River. People will ride their boats to the game. Great atmosphere.
Husky Stadium in Seattle is known as "The Greatest Setting in College Football."......The clamshell roofs, Lake Washington, the floating bridge, the Seattle skyline, Mount Rainier and upper campus.
The stadium of my favorite college team, the University of Florida (Go Gators) is called "Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at Florida Field", but is more known by it's famous nickname "The Swamp", due to it's sweltering gameday temperatures, also due to it's loud racous fans, the atmosphere has been described as "Like a heavy metal concert, except louder".. Owing to the temps and noise, The Swamp is widely considered one of the toughest places to play for the visiting team in all of Division I college football
I saw a game at the Swamp in the very early 90's. (I think it was 1991?) I was very impressed! Awesome stadium. Fans were great, even if I had on my purple LSU shirt. (Florida was playing San Jose State in the season opener.) The Gators smashed 'em. I think the score was 59-21?
Surprised to see the Alamodome on here. Though it would’ve been nice to see a more updated picture since it’s been renovated and dressed in blue and orange for UTSA.
At 3:27 you can see the Churchill Downs race track in the upper right corner. Another cool thing about Louisville's stadium (it's right near the twin spires of Churchill Downs).
McLane Stadium - Home of the Baylor Bears, best stadium on the list. You can take a boat or canoe or kayak to the game. Beautiful stadium, unique experience.
5 stadiums to consider for a part 2. 1. Camp Randall (Wisconsin). As you can probably tell by this point it's a favorite among us college football fans haha. Not even a Badgers fan here. 2. Neyland (Tennesee). Great stadium that's also nestled against the Tennessee River. My SEC bias is to Florida. But, in my opinion, Tennessee has one of the more superior stadiums in the conference. 3. LaVell Edwards (BYU). Like the Sun Bowl. It has a beautiful location at the base of Y Mountain. It's truly a sight to behold in person. 4. Williams (Liberty). Same as LaVell Edwards. This is a mountain stadium that's nestled in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains with great views. The recent Jeffersonian style renovations to is what elevates it to being a possible mention. 5. Washington-Grizzly (Montana). At this point it's apparent I value landscape when it comes to stadiums. And Washington-Grizzly is such a beautiful stadium in a beautiful location. Not to mention, there's no field goal net! Both Washington-Grizzly and Williams make my top 5 for small stadiums.
College football doesn't fill a void that the NFL leaves. College football was the most popular brand of football in the US until the mid to late 70's. There are NFL markets, like Jacksonville, Tampa, Cincinnati, and Cleveland, where you can argue college is not popular than the NFL. Even in NFL markets like LA, Seattle and Texas you could argue that college football is even with the NFL. Many feel the atmosphere of college ball is much more exciting than the NFL.
Many (if not most) Americans go to college, so there is a bond that people have with their schools' athletic programs that simply cannot be replicated by a professional sports franchise.
True. But I was just trying to say that there are so many people in the US that couldn't even go to an NFL game nearby if they wanted to. Unlike football in Europe.
If you ever consider doing a WTF CFB stadium video, you could start with Albertsons Stadium and Roos Field. Schoellkopf Field might also qualify as both amazing and WTF.
You used it in 2 flyovers near the start. Memorial stadium in lincon is just under the 100k club, but still has one of the greatest atmospheres in sports. There are no fans more dedicated than husker fans.
A bit of a side fact to Ohio Stadium. I went to Columbus years ago, and saw the stadium from a good 5-6 miles away that's how noticeable it is on the interstate that goes through Columbus. Also a terrific sports city.
Several houses in the nearest neighborhood to the AT&T Center in San Antonio had bars on their windows when I was there in 2005. Not quite what I call the suburbs. Also the Alamodome hosts the Alamo Bowl annually - which usually produces a good game - and was the temporary home of the Saints for a couple of games when they were displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
Yeah it looks like a great stadium. But it's not a top 10 list per se. I will probably be making 2 or 3 of these videos, so I've got to save some nice stadiums for a potential part 2 video.
The Rose Bowl should have been on this list despite the Bruins not being ranked highly in the nation. With capacity exceeding 100,000 and until they introduced the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) was the biggest end of season Bowl game especially with the Rose Parade before the game. The Rose Bowl (game and not stadium) was annually held on New Years Day until the BCS came about. It has also hosted the Superbowl equal most times with the Orange Bowl at 5 each as the 2 college stadiums with the most times hosting it. Last time however was Superbowl 27 in 1993 due to other pro stadiums receiving massive upgrades.
How about more of the sec or just the south! I will say when ya do a southern accent it's purdy good!! Not over done but if ya do more southern stadiums remember that there are multiple southern accents. I hope you will take this challenge because I think you will do well, I'm looking forward to it!!!
On your opening you left out high school football which regularly draws 5,000-8,000 people to a game with the biggest bringing 15,000 and state championships getting as high as 70,000
How about “The Swamp”, aka Steve Spurrier/Florida Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium? It is aptly named as it was built in a swamp. You are literally half way up when you walk in from outside and the steep seating and the fact that it is concrete means that it holds in the sound of 90k fans making it one of the loudest on campus stadiums in the nation.
Let me put it this way... the two highest-attendance games at the NFL's Tennessee Titan's stadium are both games involving the University of Tennessee, not the Titans. The local roots are far deeper with the colleges and some of them have a million or more living alumnus.
The San Antonio Texans (not to be confused with the NFL's Dallas Texans of 1952, which had a rather unsuccessful sole season before being disbanded and effectively re-constituted as the Baltimore Colts, which franchise played there for 31 years before relocating to Indianapolis in 1984, and have well-succeeded there, going on their 38th season in the Hoosier state, and the Houston Texans, an expansion franchise that replaced the Oilers who'd departed the Lone Star State after the '96 season for Tennessee) were the relocated Sacramento Gold Miners, themselves effectively a continuation of the World League's Sacramento Surge (same head coach, same starting QB, same basic color scheme, played in the same stadium), which hoped to do better in the football-mad American South. The Texans did well enough, but as the even more-successful Baltimore Stallions (or CFL Colts, a story in and of itself) were being displaced by the movement of the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore, themselves becoming the Ravens, and considered an 'expansion" rather than a relocated franchise, an effort to move them to Houston to replace the Oilers and keep at least one of the three CFL teams in the South (Shreveport Pirates, Birmingham Barracudas, and Memphis Mad Dogs) going flopped, the Stallions' ownership took a better officer to move back to Canada, to become yet another incarnation of the Alouettes franchise. With that, Texans owner Fred Anderson was no longer interested in being again the lone CFL team in the USA, so he sold the franchise back to the league and the players were subjected to a dispersal draft. It can be said that the CFL and the Stallions were largely responsible for the NFL returning to Baltimore, where they've stayed for 25 years, although there was no impetus to build the new stadium, adjacent to the then-new Camden Yards for the Orioles, until Art Modell had committed to relocate the Browns. A previous attempt for Baltimore to land an expansion NFL franchise, the Bombers, failed due to lack of sufficient local support to build a new stadium, and the NFL wasn't interested in playing in the decaying Memorial Stadium long-term.

Many (if not most) Americans go to college, so there is a bond that people have with their schools' athletic programs that simply cannot be replicated by a professional sports franchise.
True. But I was just trying to say that there are so many people in the US that couldn't even go to an NFL game nearby if they wanted to. Unlike football in Europe.
If you ever consider doing a WTF CFB stadium video, you could start with Albertsons Stadium and Roos Field. Schoellkopf Field might also qualify as both amazing and WTF.
Bowman Gray Stadium, home of Division 2 Winston Salem State University in North Carolina, has a literal racetrack surrounding the playing field
This channel is phenominal. Love it.
My favorites are Gaylord Stadium, Kyle Field and The Swamp
You used it in 2 flyovers near the start. Memorial stadium in lincon is just under the 100k club, but still has one of the greatest atmospheres in sports. There are no fans more dedicated than husker fans.
BYU stadium has one of if not the best backdrops in all of college ball!!
Big 12 and mountain west please! Good job btw !
Damn, kind of stereotypical on the UTEP segment regarding the “burrito” line, but still appreciate the recognition of the school’s stadium.
Great video. One thing you missed about Cardinal Stadium is the view of Churchill Downs where the Kentucky Derby is run.
A bit of a side fact to Ohio Stadium. I went to Columbus years ago, and saw the stadium from a good 5-6 miles away that's how noticeable it is on the interstate that goes through Columbus. Also a terrific sports city.
Fargo Dome, Memorial Stadium Cornhuskers, University of Wyoming, and University of New Mexico...
Several houses in the nearest neighborhood to the AT&T Center in San Antonio had bars on their windows when I was there in 2005. Not quite what I call the suburbs. Also the Alamodome hosts the Alamo Bowl annually - which usually produces a good game - and was the temporary home of the Saints for a couple of games when they were displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
Camp Randall should always be on the top stadiums lists everywhere.
Yeah it looks like a great stadium. But it's not a top 10 list per se. I will probably be making 2 or 3 of these videos, so I've got to save some nice stadiums for a potential part 2 video.
The Rose Bowl should have been on this list despite the Bruins not being ranked highly in the nation. With capacity exceeding 100,000 and until they introduced the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) was the biggest end of season Bowl game especially with the Rose Parade before the game. The Rose Bowl (game and not stadium) was annually held on New Years Day until the BCS came about.
It has also hosted the Superbowl equal most times with the Orange Bowl at 5 each as the 2 college stadiums with the most times hosting it. Last time however was Superbowl 27 in 1993 due to other pro stadiums receiving massive upgrades.
Amendment, forgot that the 'canes play in Hard Rock Stadium (formally Joe Robbie Stadium)
Shows Memorial Stadium(Nebraska) twice in the into, but left out of the listing?! What mind games you playing here man??
Notre Dame Stadium is just a smaller replica version of Michigan Stadium, "The Big House"
Ha ha ha nice Texan accent, you forgot the guns.
Hank Hill, basically
Never been to Camp Randall but I’ve been to Michigan Stadium (twice). I saw Chelsea play Real Madrid with 105,000 of my closest friends
Real slick to sneak that Borat movie poster in there with those English football clubs...
Notre Dame Stadium is the Gold Standard of all Football Stadiums!!
Great video. Enjoyed the music too.
How about more of the sec or just the south! I will say when ya do a southern accent it's purdy good!! Not over done but if ya do more southern stadiums remember that there are multiple southern accents. I hope you will take this challenge because I think you will do well, I'm looking forward to it!!!
RIP Miami Orange Bowl Stadium
Kinnick Stadium, Iowa City, IA ... pink Lockers for the visitors
god, its amazing that someone from the UK is talking about US stadiums.
Australia.
@@TheWideWorldofStadiums oh. Sorry mate.
He kept showing the Nebraska stadium in the intro but never talked about it?
On your opening you left out high school football which regularly draws 5,000-8,000 people to a game with the biggest bringing 15,000 and state championships getting as high as 70,000
Love the hank hill impression. I can help you make your channel bigger
Miners. Lol. Good job, once again!
Thanks 😅
Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Roll tide
Michigan Stadium has to be on the list
Michigan is just big. Plus Michigan sucks
How about “The Swamp”, aka Steve Spurrier/Florida Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium? It is aptly named as it was built in a swamp. You are literally half way up when you walk in from outside and the steep seating and the fact that it is concrete means that it holds in the sound of 90k fans making it one of the loudest on campus stadiums in the nation.
Let me put it this way... the two highest-attendance games at the NFL's Tennessee Titan's stadium are both games involving the University of Tennessee, not the Titans.
The local roots are far deeper with the colleges and some of them have a million or more living alumnus.
I love the videos but how did you leave out the Big House (Michigan Stadium)?
Nippert Stadium! Cincinnati, Ohio
Can somebody tell me the name of that beat slash track playing in the background?
New Moon - Bad Snacks
I’ve played at Austen stadium
I loved this video. Your idea of amazing is the same as mine.
We need one for big 10. Michigan stadium due too it being the biggest stadium in USA
The San Antonio Texans (not to be confused with the NFL's Dallas Texans of 1952, which had a rather unsuccessful sole season before being disbanded and effectively re-constituted as the Baltimore Colts, which franchise played there for 31 years before relocating to Indianapolis in 1984, and have well-succeeded there, going on their 38th season in the Hoosier state, and the Houston Texans, an expansion franchise that replaced the Oilers who'd departed the Lone Star State after the '96 season for Tennessee) were the relocated Sacramento Gold Miners, themselves effectively a continuation of the World League's Sacramento Surge (same head coach, same starting QB, same basic color scheme, played in the same stadium), which hoped to do better in the football-mad American South. The Texans did well enough, but as the even more-successful Baltimore Stallions (or CFL Colts, a story in and of itself) were being displaced by the movement of the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore, themselves becoming the Ravens, and considered an 'expansion" rather than a relocated franchise, an effort to move them to Houston to replace the Oilers and keep at least one of the three CFL teams in the South (Shreveport Pirates, Birmingham Barracudas, and Memphis Mad Dogs) going flopped, the Stallions' ownership took a better officer to move back to Canada, to become yet another incarnation of the Alouettes franchise. With that, Texans owner Fred Anderson was no longer interested in being again the lone CFL team in the USA, so he sold the franchise back to the league and the players were subjected to a dispersal draft.
It can be said that the CFL and the Stallions were largely responsible for the NFL returning to Baltimore, where they've stayed for 25 years, although there was no impetus to build the new stadium, adjacent to the then-new Camden Yards for the Orioles, until Art Modell had committed to relocate the Browns. A previous attempt for Baltimore to land an expansion NFL franchise, the Bombers, failed due to lack of sufficient local support to build a new stadium, and the NFL wasn't interested in playing in the decaying Memorial Stadium long-term.
