4 of these Stadiums are former Super Bowl Hosts: LA Memorial Coliseum (the 1st Super Bowl & others) Rose Bowl (Multiple) Old Stanford Stadium (XIX) Sun Devil Stadium (XXX)
Isn't it because usually the Super Bowl is hosted by a city with a reasonable guarantee of good weather at that time. Which is why California has hosted so many?
@@bastih.5264 exactly! Sometimes they will go to northern stadiums that are indoors like Detroit, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, etc. But one time, in 2014 they actually did have a “cold weather” Super bowl in an outdoors stadium in New York City! (Which my Seattle Seahawks won by the way :))
From Seattle, not a UW fan, but I go to a lot of games. Sailgating is ton of fun. They link boats together on the docks so it is just one giant party all day.
@@catfan5756 well your wrong. I lived 2 hours from Eugene, Oregon. So by default it's my favorite college team, besides I would go to the summer football camps. Best stadium on game days! Especially the night games!
University of Utah alum here. There are some really great college FB stadiums in the conference. Of course, I’m biased for Rice-Eccles, but I also really like UW, Folsom Field and the Stanford stadiums.
The new expansion looks great! Rice-Eccles needed to be enclosed since joining the Pac-12 and it looks really good. Congrats on the your first Pac-12 Championship!
Really good atmosphere. That's a fanbase that deserves more national championships. Shame that they only have one back in the days of the late Don James
I lived down the street from the Rose bowl in Pasadena. It is absolutely one of the most beautiful parts of LA. When it rains the clouds will just float against the mountains and the other side slopes down to a view of LA. Love love Pasadena
The LA Coliseum and the Rose Bowl are both national treasures, imo. The Coliseum really needed that renovation, which I didn't know had happened until just now. Only problem with the Coliseum is that it is located within a really bad neighborhood.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for having done your research and acknowledging and showing the upgrade to Rice-Eccles Stadium.. We here in Salt Lake are all very excited to get back into it this year with it now being a true bowl stadium.. It was already infamous for being very loud, it should only get worse for opponents now.
@@BudFuddlacker 2018 2019 went to the Pac 12 championship while they lost they still where the best in the south. Not sure how you say they don't deserve to be in the Pac-12 when they haven't be the worst team in the south since maybe the first year they joined. Lol you are delusional.
@@BudFuddlacker Who in the PAC 12 is better this year than Utah? Utah just beat down Oregon 2x in three weeks to win the conference championship.. Oregon had been up to 2 weeks ago the team for the Pac 12 to ride to the CF Playoffs. 3 straight South Division championships (non covid years) and now to the Rose Bowl January 1 2022. This year it was all Utah in the Pac 12 going 8-1 in Conference play, and 6-0 at home, better than any other conference team! Go Utes, beat Ohio State Jan 1
Year 1 when Utah first joined the Pac 12, Utah had the same conference record as USC and were South Division co-champs but did not play in the Conference title game as USC had the tie-breaker on Utah due to terrible call in the USC vs UTAH game that by all rights, Utah should have won the game and the South Division, year 1 for Utah in the conference. Catch a clue Fuddlacker!
The view of the mountains and trees in the distance of the Rose Bowl is beautiful, especially at sunset, very old stadium but I've always enjoyed going. The LA Coliseum is in need of seating renovations big time, but the game atmosphere is actually amazing in person.
You should revisit the LA Coliseum it was renovated in 2018 including all new seating. That’s why the capacity was decreased from 92,000 to 78,000. The new seats are wider and having been to a game in 2019, they are a lot more comfortable. Having been to both the coliseum and the rose bowl I can say that I find the newly renovated coliseum the more enjoyable of the two.
The problem with the Rose Bowl is you are at the mercy of the sun. I was there for UCLA Colorado on Halloween in 2015. It was damn near 100 degrees. No breeze!
Oregon actually had a renovation recently to add an even bigger jumbotron at the opposite end of the original, which increases the amount of sound that stays in the stadium.
As iconic the LA Memorial stadium is, the latest renovation looks very out place and takes away from its original architecture. It also looks like seating on both ends of the new press box have obstructed views.
@Shay Hicks I used to live a mile north and 1.5 miles east of Folsom Field! Spent two games in the stands and one game on the field when USC (Carson Palmer was the ab) played the Buffs. Lived in Boulder from 1991-2003. Miss it.
The “Curse of Niwot” is a legend that says once you’ve seen the beauty of the Boulder valley, you’re forever hooked. I agree 💯. Unfortunately, Chief Niwot was killed in a massacre sometime afterwards.
Years ago expanding Husky Stadium they kept the same roof because it was so loud because of its angle. The Seahawks used Husky Stadium while there's was being built and decided to copy the roof thus they are both loud with a lot less people.
Fun Fact: Under the stands of the Arizona Stadium is the Steward Observatory Mirror Lab, where they build the massive mirrors used in space telescopes as well as observatories on Earth. These mirrors are huge, with the world's largest telescope mirror of 8.4-meters(27.5 feet) being built here. All happening under the stands of the stadium.
I also heard the renovation was done because the steel was starting to rust. Apparently after every game the stadium was hosed down to clean. Is this true or an urban myth?
@@TheMrPeteChannel not really. The stadium itself is very outdated. We’re talking, still using portapotties for restroom. It needed the facelift but it’s still the worst one of the conference, even after the renovation.
@@TheMrPeteChannel That story is true regarding Sun Devil Stadium, not Arizona Stadium. Part of the reason Sun Devil had to be renovated was because the structural steel under the stands was built without rustproofing, in order to save money. The thought was that it didn't need it in such a dry climate. But, after every game the seats were hosed down, and thus, rust developed after all. That was reported by the Arizona Republic and included in the inspection report that spelled out the need to address the issue within a few years or risk the stadium becoming unsafe. That was in about 2010. It was a blessing in disguise because it created a sense urgency to renovate the stadium, which needed it for years but was never made a priority until it had to be.
Best CFB video yet. Every video you get better and better. Thanks for everything 👊 Did my Cals Memorial stadium justice as well. Pac 12 has the best in CFB.
Having worked in the press box of LA Memorial and gone to the Rose Bowl, I can't think of two stadiums with more abysmal traffic! But the rose bowl has an....elegant...backdrop that's for sure
The secret of both the Rose Bowl and the Coliseum is public transit. Both have light rail stations near by. Plus the Rose Bowl has the amazing shuttle from Parsons engineering co. that has a dedicated, traffic free route to the RB. One of these years, the light rail will connect the RB directly to Long Beach, and Ontario Airport. A separate line will complete the direct connection from the Coliseum to East LA and Santa Monica.
pac 12 has some really cool stadiums. It would be awesome if you'd rank all fbs (or Power 5) college football stadiums or at least give us a top 10 at some point. Keep it up!
LOL, Martin Stadium is just about equal to a Texas high school stadium, with a location about as desolate as Odessa. Your Cougs have often punched above their weight, but a national treasure?
@@jakecarlson9111 Have you been to many other stadiums to have any kind of comparison? Because Martin Stadium is not special in any remarkable way, except that it's your team's stadium, which means you like it, which is fine. I have been there thrice. I do enjoy the cheese curds from the dairy, provided one gets there before they sell out.
I live in Westwood in Los Angeles, near UCLA. the Bruins have wanted to build a stadium on campus for many years but have always faced opposition from their neighbors, so they play in the Rose Bowl in Pasedena. The funny thing is, when they play USC at Memorial Coliseum, they are closer to home (the UCLA campus) than they are when they play "home" games at the Rose Bowl.
Thanks, I played for the Wyoming soccer team and we played in Boulder once. But got beat badly, since we were a club team. We even had to pay to play, the University didn't give us the money. And I played for the University of Montana team and we played at Washington State once. But I wasn't a student, they just needed players.
2:00 - When Arizona Stadium pops up look at the field right below the stadium and then look at the brown building right next to it that looks like a 'W.' That's Hopi Lodge. It was my dorm Freshman and Sophomore year in College. Great memories in that dorm. Lol...
@@jameschandler6449 Oh definitely. You didn't even have to watch the game to know when they scored. The walls would shake from the thousands of people cheering right next door. It was awesome. Plus I was there when Nick Foles and Brian Cushing was there and they started like 5-0 and were ranked #9 in the country. Highest ranking in a long time. The next week they hosted #5 Iowa and that game was NUTS. Good times. Lol...
@@tallenlofberg9804 Seattle-Seahawk-Husky-Sounders and maybe Mariners (when they were good during the Kingdome era) fans have always been loud. Its an ingrained sports culture stretching nearly a half century. Not even Chiefs fan can boast about that. 😂
Century Link field is crazy loud because it's shaped like a darn canoe. Autzen stadium is louder then Husky stadium though. While they both get stupid loud, because Autzen is actually a sunken field, built into the earth, it gets louder due to the sound getting trapped onto the field.
Husky Stadium is one of three college football stadiums with a marina/boat slips for fans to use when coming to a game. Baylor and Tennessee are the other two.
But in tennessee they use wooden row boats. With rats pelts on their heads. Singing" old old rocky top" out of tune. With dueling banjos playing in the background. Scary ASF.
But Husky stadium is the only one you can arrive or party by yacht. To the max vessel length that can fit through the Ballard Locks in the ship canal to/from Lake Washington and Puget Sound. Up to 700 ft (213 m) by 78 ft (23.7 m).
I have fond memories of the LA Coliseum despite never seeing a Trojan/Rams/Raiders game. I was a big raver and EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) was held in Coliseum. Plenty of great memories. As well as the former LA Sports Arena. Went to Together As One a few years in a row there.
Ah! Then you recall when UW had dark blue for the team uniforms. I could never figure why the dominant color with UW football teams changed from dark blue to purple. I recall back many decades ago being dark blue; then a shade of purple; and now it is another shade of purple.
Interesting note about Arizona Stadium....there are dorms under it! I'm a Sun Devil but did go down to Tucson to watch a game against USC many moons ago. Walking up, i couldn't believe it...students hanging signs and partying it up with all their windows open. I can't imagine how loud that's gotta be...ha! Also, the Rose Bowl is infamous for the upper seats being so far away (horizontally) from the game, you'll need binoculars and/or a satellite-feed. And the walk to the restrooms is a country-mile. Edit: And now I see another poster mentioned the same thing about AZ.... It's such an unusual arrangement...like Woody Allen's childhood home in "Annie"...built under a rollercoaster...🤣
Wow! A switch up back to American college football is a nice touch. You know what they say about diversity. Oops, I mean, you know-that word. As for the vid, it was informative, succinct with your expected implementation of Aussie cheekiness. Sonoran dessert! Lol. Historically, the Rose Bowl is old but is definitely deserving of its reputation. Me personal fave, however, has to be the Duck's Stadium. Very unique, to say the least. Only thing better than buried mascots are... Mammoth facilities! Stay cheeky, my good sir! What a view, of er the mountains! Oh yeah, VARIETY! LOL
Hey, I love your channel but can you try changing up the music a little, I know it’s hard with the copyright rules but I think it will do good for your channel and my ears.
Now that you covered the PAC-12, will you cover the BIG 10 Football Stadiums? Granted, the BIG 10 now has 14 teams, but some of the stadiums are amazing! Memorial Stadium on the University of Illinois campus has on the columns the list names of the students and alumni who died during WWI engraved on them.
I hear Arizona State is where Seattle-based high school standout linebacker Sturdyvant Mickerson went to college on a football scholarship back in the late 80s. When asked why he didn’t play for his hometown Washington Huskies he replied, “it was the stadium that won me over. I cannot lie. I like big buttes.” In his first game he tore both ACLs, quit the football team and decided to pursue a rap career as Sir-Mix-a-Lot.
Fun fact the asu scum devils aren’t even a top 100 University and is the easiest power 5 school to get into and has some of the worst dropout rates in the country and are literally bad at every sport and the entire pac hates them.
@@vizz7854 Fun fact again, we are literally #100 in the US, we are most definitely not the easiest school to get into in P5 and it’s a state university….all are easier to get into in the first place, and we have a 67% graduation rate…we are far from the worst for dropouts, we literally beat you guys 70-7 in football, and yeah you’re last point is just false
Gentlemen, Gentlemen, both ASU and UofA are fine institutions of higher learning, as far as state schools go. It's just that currently UofA really sucks at football. 70-7!
The field at Fresno St in the Mountain west was designed by the same firm that did Autzen in Eugene for the oregon ducks. Both stadiums were and are very similar even more so before the expansion at Autzen. Love both places and the sunken bowl type places.. air force sun bowl rose bowl big house Yale etc
Stanford’s original 1921 stadium looked better than the rectangle box they built in the 21st Century. In fact, all of the best looking stadiums were the ones built in the 1920’s.
Sun Devil Stadium is also directly underneath the flight pattern for Phoenix's Sky Harbor Airport. When I was in high school our marching band played there as part of the festivities for the annual Fiesta Bowl, and a plane went overhead just as we were about to start our performance, and to this day I'm surprised that I (along with many of my fellow band members) was able to maintain sphincter control. We're from a small town that doesn't see many passenger jets flying that low over the town, so I'm also somewhat surprised that we maintained composure and didn't scatter to the exits like a flock of spooked chickens.
@@jordanmerchant8757 Port Angeles, WA. About two-hour ferry and drive northwest of Seattle. Across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Victoria, BC, Canada, and an hour east of Forks, where the "Twilight" novels are set.
That's a funny story because after all, it's just an airliner. I went to ASU. They fly quite high, well above the flood light stands. Unless you expect them to drop ordinance on the stadium, there's nothing to be afraid of.
@@therealuncleowen2588 Obviously they don't fly THAT low, but it's gonna scare the shit out of you if you're not expecting it. My best guess would be that the plane was still over a thousand feet up when it went overhead, but still.
the sun in the afternoon coming through in the berkley stadium is awesome. why though, does everybody seem to act like the LA rams were just one of many teams to play in the LA colosium? (8:41) they were there from 1946 to 1983. almost 40 years.they WERE the team that played in the colosium. they even went back for 4 more years recently when they moved back where they belonged from st louis where they had this temporary stadium for 15 years.

@@ianc2429 here's a gamble the NFL will never take again.
It snowed heavy on the day before and the day after the game. But not during
the conference championship game is always Levi's, so technically, the Pac-12 has had 5 stadiums host Super Bowls
The LA Coliseum also hosted the 1959 World Series, as the Dodgers played there while Dodger Stadium was being built.
Been to 10/12 of these stadiums and schools. WSU was by far my favorite! Go Cougs!

Thank you for doing the Pac-12. Many great memories of Folsom Field. An absolute stunner!
I grew up in Seattle i had season tickets to the Huskies from 1976 to 1995 talks about being loud just as loud as the Seahawks game.
Really good atmosphere. That's a fanbase that deserves more national championships. Shame that they only have one back in the days of the late Don James
Then you hear Autzen from Eugene.... in Seattle.
You forgot to mention Husky Stadium was also pretty much rebuilt entirely about 10 years ago. As well as the endzone renovation at Oregon State
And OSU is completely re-doing the west side as well.

What is it about Seattle football stadiums being loud AF? Between the Seahawks and UW Huskies, you'll need earplugs anytime you're in Seattle.

Century Link field is crazy loud because it's shaped like a darn canoe. Autzen stadium is louder then Husky stadium though. While they both get stupid loud, because Autzen is actually a sunken field, built into the earth, it gets louder due to the sound getting trapped onto the field.
Husky Stadium is one of three college football stadiums with a marina/boat slips for fans to use when coming to a game. Baylor and Tennessee are the other two.
This is a fun fact I didn’t know that I needed to know lol. Thanks for sharing!
Heinz field in Pittsburgh as well
But in tennessee they use wooden row boats. With rats pelts on their heads. Singing" old old rocky top" out of tune. With dueling banjos playing in the background. Scary ASF.
But Husky stadium is the only one you can arrive or party by yacht. To the max vessel length that can fit through the Ballard Locks in the ship canal to/from Lake Washington and Puget Sound. Up to 700 ft (213 m) by 78 ft (23.7 m).
I have fond memories of the LA Coliseum despite never seeing a Trojan/Rams/Raiders game. I was a big raver and EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) was held in Coliseum. Plenty of great memories. As well as the former LA Sports Arena. Went to Together As One a few years in a row there.
Been a Husky fan when Sonny Sixkiller was the QB the good ole days of college football.
Ah! Then you recall when UW had dark blue for the team uniforms. I could never figure why the dominant color with UW football teams changed from dark blue to purple. I recall back many decades ago being dark blue; then a shade of purple; and now it is another shade of purple.
Wow the best I have ever seen
Great background music as well. Sounds like futuristic Super Mario.
I PLAYED @ the Rose Bowl, Folsem Field, Rice-Eccles, & Arizona Stadium all of them were nice in that order
Great stadiums love em all
Sun Devil Stadium has hosted a Super Bowl and several National Title games.
Interesting note about Arizona Stadium....there are dorms under it!
I'm a Sun Devil but did go down to Tucson to watch a game against USC many moons ago. Walking up, i couldn't believe it...students hanging signs and partying it up with all their windows open. I can't imagine how loud that's gotta be...ha!
Also, the Rose Bowl is infamous for the upper seats being so far away (horizontally) from the game, you'll need binoculars and/or a satellite-feed. And the walk to the restrooms is a country-mile.
Edit: And now I see another poster mentioned the same thing about AZ.... It's such an unusual arrangement...like Woody Allen's childhood home in "Annie"...built under a rollercoaster...🤣
I'm not a fan of the jokes, but the videos bring full game with the stadia. Very good job.
You crack me up!
Almost missed that Beatles reference. Very subtle.
They shouldn't have been allowed to mutilate the Coliseum. It doesn't look as good.
Can you do the American Athletic conference next ?
Fun fact: The Pac-12 Championship game won't be played in any of these stadiums.
Wow! A switch up back to American college football is a nice touch. You know what they say about diversity. Oops, I mean, you know-that word. As for the vid, it was informative, succinct with your expected implementation of Aussie cheekiness. Sonoran dessert! Lol. Historically, the Rose Bowl is old but is definitely deserving of its reputation. Me personal fave, however, has to be the Duck's Stadium. Very unique, to say the least. Only thing better than buried mascots are... Mammoth facilities! Stay cheeky, my good sir! What a view, of er the mountains! Oh yeah, VARIETY! LOL
Can you please do the stadiums of the American Athletic Conference?!
You should do this same thing but with every teams locker rooms
USC and UCLA leavin. RIP PAC-12
Hey, I love your channel but can you try changing up the music a little, I know it’s hard with the copyright rules but I think it will do good for your channel and my ears.
You should do college basketball after you finish football
Rice Eccles Stadium(Utah Utes)(MUSS) will rival Oregon Stadium as being the loudest!!! Plus we’re in the mountains…..
Now that you covered the PAC-12, will you cover the BIG 10 Football Stadiums? Granted, the BIG 10 now has 14 teams, but some of the stadiums are amazing!
Memorial Stadium on the University of Illinois campus has on the columns the list names of the students and alumni who died during WWI engraved on them.
I hear Arizona State is where Seattle-based high school standout linebacker Sturdyvant Mickerson went to college on a football scholarship back in the late 80s. When asked why he didn’t play for his hometown Washington Huskies he replied, “it was the stadium that won me over. I cannot lie. I like big buttes.” In his first game he tore both ACLs, quit the football team and decided to pursue a rap career as Sir-Mix-a-Lot.
Fun fact, down in the dirty T, the stadium actually has dorms built into it
Fun fact the asu scum devils aren’t even a top 100 University and is the easiest power 5 school to get into and has some of the worst dropout rates in the country and are literally bad at every sport and the entire pac hates them.
@@vizz7854 Fun fact again, we are literally #100 in the US, we are most definitely not the easiest school to get into in P5 and it’s a state university….all are easier to get into in the first place, and we have a 67% graduation rate…we are far from the worst for dropouts, we literally beat you guys 70-7 in football, and yeah you’re last point is just false
Gentlemen, Gentlemen, both ASU and UofA are fine institutions of higher learning, as far as state schools go. It's just that currently UofA really sucks at football. 70-7!
As a Buffs Season ticket holder.... SSSSKKKKKOOOO BUFFS
Great Video.
Cheers!
Updated version of this for 2024 can be posted as a Short. Pac-4 : Conference of Abandoned
Pac 2 now.
The first time I want to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was for a Supercross in 1984. That’s when there was a track surrounding the football field.
The field at Fresno St in the Mountain west was designed by the same firm that did Autzen in Eugene for the oregon ducks. Both stadiums were and are very similar even more so before the expansion at Autzen. Love both places and the sunken bowl type places.. air force sun bowl rose bowl big house Yale etc
"R.I.P. Pac 12... we barely knew you." -Rest of America
martin stadium is small but strange things happen there. i swear mike leach lit my beavs up every time we went there
Stanford’s original 1921 stadium looked better than the rectangle box they built in the 21st Century. In fact, all of the best looking stadiums were the ones built in the 1920’s.
Also of note, Sun Devil Stadium has hosted a Super Bowl. Nine Super Bowls have been played in stadiums of this conference.
There’s just something about this dudes humor that gets me
You should do the MAC stadiums next week
Can you do the WAC next?
You could’ve done the coliseum some more justice lol
I cant wait for the Independants video
Do the American Athletic Conference please. Thanks!
Sun Devil Stadium is also directly underneath the flight pattern for Phoenix's Sky Harbor Airport. When I was in high school our marching band played there as part of the festivities for the annual Fiesta Bowl, and a plane went overhead just as we were about to start our performance, and to this day I'm surprised that I (along with many of my fellow band members) was able to maintain sphincter control. We're from a small town that doesn't see many passenger jets flying that low over the town, so I'm also somewhat surprised that we maintained composure and didn't scatter to the exits like a flock of spooked chickens.
What town are from? I'm from the mighty town of Wickenburg. I hope you get the sarcasm.
@@jordanmerchant8757 Port Angeles, WA. About two-hour ferry and drive northwest of Seattle. Across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Victoria, BC, Canada, and an hour east of Forks, where the "Twilight" novels are set.
That's a funny story because after all, it's just an airliner. I went to ASU. They fly quite high, well above the flood light stands. Unless you expect them to drop ordinance on the stadium, there's nothing to be afraid of.
@@therealuncleowen2588 Obviously they don't fly THAT low, but it's gonna scare the shit out of you if you're not expecting it. My best guess would be that the plane was still over a thousand feet up when it went overhead, but still.
@@BroadwayJoe99 Fair enough. You weren't expecting to see an airliner flying directly overhead. I see what you mean.
the sun in the afternoon coming through in the berkley stadium is awesome. why though, does everybody seem to act like the LA rams were just one of many teams to play in the LA colosium? (8:41) they were there from 1946 to 1983. almost 40 years.they WERE the team that played in the colosium. they even went back for 4 more years recently when they moved back where they belonged from st louis where they had this temporary stadium for 15 years.
WSU fan, Martin Stadium has the best atmosphere in the conference.
Seems like an unbiased opinion.
@@fpl_mccolby yeah ikr
As a ducks fan its loud over in martin stadium but autzen stadium is louder its even ranked in top 5 loudest stadiums in the country
