I used to be a prof at Wisconsin and now am at USC. I probably shouldn't say this, but to me, Camp Randell dominates the Coliseum as a college football venue.

The thing I love about Huntington is how nice the interior of the stadium is. Compared to other stadiums I have been to (Florida State and Wisconsin), the amenities inside are closer to NFL style stadiums.

Camp Randall now seats 75k following the recent renovation, yes that’s down from 80k but still by no means small. Hell that’s bigger then the average new NFL stadium these days, and it even took all the way up till 2010 for Lambeau to surpass it as the biggest stadium in the state.

Illinois while the interior needs work, is absolutely beautiful. 100 years old this year as well

The Horseshoe is only quiet because of how successful Ohio State is you don’t need to get crazy loud when you know you’re gonna win by 50. However for night games and big games like Penn State or Michigan or the big non conference game the Shoe gets incredibly loud.

Spartan Stadium has one of the last remaining grass fields which gives a unique aspect to it

I'm no Wisconsin fan but Camp Randal is such a lovely stadium. The Big House will always be number 1 to me as Michigan fan.

Agreed 100% need to do one for all the conferences great stuff

I live in Maryland but I’m an Ohio State fan and that game was PACKED. Me and most of the OSU fans sat in that huge upper deck and it was a great experience.

The exterior of Illinois' stadium kind of reminds me of the colonnade from Soldier Field in Chicago.

WE ARE

Great show Ginger. Hey, here is a good idea. How about doing the best cities or college towns for football, or all sports. Just sayin. It would be right up your alley.

I've always thought Maryland's stadium was awful and looks lopsided. You'd think Under Armor would help them with more than the jerseys! But I expected you to put OSU or Michigan at #1 and I always thought Penn State had a better stadium. I agree that Beaver is the best in the B1G and so glad you didn't take the cliche approach!

Excuse me? Camp Randall is a “smaller stadium?” It has a seating capacity of over 80,000! What in the world makes you think it qualifies as a smaller stadium?

How do you not mention the children's hospital and The Wave when talking about Iowa? Yes, it's not a part of the stadium but it adds so much do the environment and experience.

Beaver Stadium is "The Greatest Show on Turf"!❤🎉😂❤

Our new stadium will be even smaller. As a student at NU from 1979-1983 Ryan Field (as Dyche Stadium) has only memories of suffering and despair. The team, students, staff and alum deserve an upgrade.

Huntington Bank should get a bit more credit, the view of the Minneapolis skyline is quite unique

Don’t forget that Beaver Stadium is also the loudest

Purdue's south endzone had to get renovated. Seen it over 2 decades and it may end up finally being great!

Maryland's need a massive renovation, and I agree about that upper deck.

beaver stadium in my opinion is the best place to watch a game but just as a stadium alone and not including gameday experience/atmosphere i'd put ohio stadium above it but the renovation will probably make it better and somehow louder with the way they plan on closing the entire stadium

Love the ranking videos. Only stadium I’ve actually been to on this list is Maryland and it was a joke. Great list tho.

You should do this for the SEC, ACC, Big 12, Pac 12, MW, and AAC. That would be cool

Purdue already completed the latest renovations for its 100th year in Ross Ade, the capacity went up from prior year, though smaller than it was through the 1980s/early 1990s when the last renovation was done.

The Big Ten has the #1, 2, & 3 largest capacity stadiums for college football, but after that, there’s a HUGE gap in stadium capacities for the fourth largest stadium in the Big Ten. It kinda sums up the Big Ten in football. Three really good teams and everyone else is mediocre at best with some absolutely awful teams at the bottom. Then you have the SEC which has the #4, 5, 6, 8, & 9 largest college stadiums in terms of capacity. In total, there are seven SEC stadiums that are larger than the fourth largest Big Ten stadium, Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium. 4/14 SEC stadiums exceed 100,000 seats 3/14 Big Ten stadiums exceed 100,000 seats. 5/14 SEC stadiums exceed 90,000 seats 3/14 Big Ten stadiums exceed 90,000 seats. 7/14 SEC stadiums exceed 80,000 seats. 4/14 Big Ten stadiums exceed 80,000 seats. 9/14 SEC stadiums exceed 70,000 seats. 7/14 Big Ten stadiums exceed 70,000 seats. 13/14 SEC stadiums exceed 60,000 seats. 9/14 Big Ten stadiums exceed 60,000 seats.

As a Purdue fan, I have felt at night that the fans definitely get intense. When we are good, the fans get rowdy!

seeing a game at the big house is a bucket list item for me.

When it comes to BIG football, I want minimalism, just football, I don't want SoFi Stadium amenities or comfort. I want rabid fans, not those complaining about the Wi-Fi, sitting on hard benches, but spending most of the time standing, engrossed in the action on the field. The more "old school" it is, the better for me. Had some of the best times of my life, freezing on November days in Ohio Stadium. If you want the experience to be like your living room, stay home!

I'm a Husker fan, but the Bank has the best skyline view in all of college football.

2:00 , I watch most of your videos and always notice you hate upper decks , is this only in stadiums that can't fill them? Like do you have NFL upper decks that are always full

The Rose Bowl is an awesome environment during a Rose Bowl. But, for Bruins games? I'm not sure if I'd have it in the top ten of B1G stadiums

Having been to all 14, I like your ranking and mine wouldn’t be far off. Only change I would make to the top 3 would be swapping OSU and Michigan.

So appropriate that you rank Ohio Stadium as #2....because if you look at it from an overhead aerial view...it looks like a....GIANT TOILET BOWL!!! A perfect place to take a big $2 DUMP!! DON"T forget to flush!!

There is no place like the BIG House.

Fun fact: Rutgers actually has a higher seating capacity than Maryland by about 600 seats.

Went to the USC-Idaho game several years ago. It was full but the Coliseum is a dump. The Wisconsin stadium is bigger than what you think, and the Minnesota stadium is a beautiful stadium, 1 of my favorites, from a Hawkeye fan.

I think there are three obvious tiers 1-6, 7-10, and 11-14. Maryland could ascend to the middle group for maybe even Rutgers if they somehow got back to going 8-4 every year like they did from 05-14. Ditto for Nebraska getting up to the top tier with some strong seasons, just look at that volleyball crowd. I personally like Minnesota as the best of the middle group but the city setting is just way different for tailgating. Agree with the comments on the interior though. And also think Michigan probably deserves a higher spot than OSU, but don't tell my neighbors.

Love you DG

If you have the Bugeaters Bowl at #3, you should visit some more.

Have you done the big 12 football stadiums yet? Btw Texas Tech is going through a $250 million south endzone project and it’s gonna be Freaking amazing! Guns Up

Beaver stadium looks like someone took an axe to it... it's all chopped up.

ohio stadium should not have changed the field turf. new design looks bland af

The hospital next to kinnick has to move it into my top 5

Maryland's stadium was capital one stadium for like 15 years and SECU is pronounced like the letters C and Q.

Thumbs up because you got it right at #1

As a Terps fan, I can’t disagree about how annoying the layout is. Our stadium is the result of someone getting too cute with a design just for the sake of being different. It’s never going to get changed because of how many structures are near it, making it too expensive to renovate. If that wasn’t an issue, it would be clear to just finish creating the lower bowl, add another Jumbotron to it, and add another upper deck to make the stadium look normal.

I’m going to the big house on Saturday Michigan stadium

If you're talking about gameday atmosphere at each stadium then it's too hard to pick the best in the Big10. But if you're talking about quality of the stadium and aspects like line of sight or amenities or ease of movement in the concourse area, then Huntington Bank is easily the best in the big10. It's a phenomenal place in that regard.

I agree with this list but I do got to say I’ve never been to the big house but I have been to the shoe there is nothing quiet about that stadium even when it’s a blow out.

Michigan is not top 5. It’s too quiet

I have to say comparing the rose bowl to memorial stadium of nebraska.. saying their in the same tier is pretty goofy. I bet when the huskers play ucla at the rose bowl.. it's sold out.. and it's a sea of red! The environment of a quarter sold stadium doesn't compare to over 90k strong every college football weekend win or lose! I giggled at having camp Randall over he huskers too, one upper deck looks really appealing let me tell you!

P4, I’ll take it

Maryland stadium was referred to the "Snake Pit" facetiously by ESPN's Reece Davis during their successful stint during 2001-2003. It is actually a great place to see a game, affordable family fun. Compared to the price of the various other Washington, DC area events, which the other B1G members just do not have to compete with. Luckily, our basketball stadium is top tier.

U should rank SEC stadiums

You're insane if you think Beaver Stadium is anywhere near the top of Big Ten stadiums... Michigan Stadium, the biggest stadium in the country (not just CFB) is a cathedral and arguably CFB's best stadium... let alone in the B1G.

big ten stadium ohhh oooooo yes daddy

lol I had the same 3 just in a little different order

Ohio stadium can get much louder if the blue hairs would sell their tickets to people who wanted to make noise.

🎉

It was 2019 when Minnesota played penn state

#WeAre

Ohio Stadium is only quiet in the lesser opponent games. It is not quiet when they play Michigan Penn State Wisconsin Michigan State or any other Big Ten team might be in the top 10 that year or undefeated when they play. In non-conference opponent like Oregon, USC A few years back, we played Oklahoma and Texas. Those games are not quiet. They are very loud but when you play Northwestern Toledo yeah they’re not gonna be very loud. They’re expected to win those games it’s for just watching how good Ohio State could be in big games it’s glorified practice.

The "snake pit" at #2. Ugh

You seem to have forgotten that Washington and Oregon are also going to the Big Ten

Nebraska is my number 4 ..

Not completely true about Huntington having nothing unique. The names of all 87 Minnesota counties are cast in giant stones around the exterior. There is a Minnesota Tribal Nations Plaza outside the main entrance as well. The end-zones in Ohio Stadium are full of students, including a 225-piece brass band, and it’s absolutely deafening.

"See Q" Stadium

Wisconsin is overrated and outdated. I’d put Michigan #1

The horseshoe is an awful stadium with awful acoustics and speakers, ads over every single scoreboard, miniscule play clocks hidden inside of the student section for some reason, and I heard seven nation army play every single change of posession, I stopped counting after the number was 20 times played by the third quarter.

Talking about OSU stadium being quiet lol. You’ve obviously never been there….

Don’t count out shi stadium. I was there at a night game and it is insane.

do pac 12 next

Indiana's stadium deserves a higher rating.

No way he really osu stadium is quiet

NU is renovating, not replacing Ryan Field

Alright let me know what I got wrong: 1) Penn State 2) Nebraska* 3) Michigan* 4) Ohio State 5) Michigan State* 6) Wisconsin 7) Iowa 8) Purdue* 9) Rutgers* 10) Minnesota 11) Illinois* 12) Indiana 13) Maryland 14) Northwestern (The asterisk indicates whether or not I've been there)

Decent info, just repetitive in the script.

Lmao there’s rarely anything unique about college football stadiums. Most of them are 100 years old

Even though Michigan Stadium is not the loudest, it has a really unique vibe. The fact that it has minimal parking is a feature, not a bug. 1. It is just south of the main part of campus/downtown, so walking in from the north, there is a huge "party parade" like atmosphere before and after games. 2. Just south of the stadium, instead of a parking lot full of cars, it is a golf course full of tailgaters. Love the reuse of that space 6-7 times per year. Really cool tailgating with trees and grass all around. 3. If you go west or east, it is all neighborhoods. Has a "Wrigley" (or European Soccer) kind of feel to it someone in from those directions. Also, Some of us have our "secret spot" to park a 1/2 mile away. One other thing about Michigan Stadium, there is space in the concourse to just hang out on the grass. Even though it holds up to 114K, If you want to just take a break on the North side on the hill, you can. Feels great to be there and hear the crowd and PA system in the background.

The Big House at #3?!?! Please...

Beaver stadium ahead of the big house and the horseshoe? I loathe Michigan and OSU but their stadiums are iconic. Think you also have NU and Wisky reversed. List is broadly accurate but your top 5 is slightly off. PSU 5, Wisky 4, NU 3, OSU 2 and Meatchicken 1

Rutgers sells this stadium out, including games this past season. Do some research you fool. Want to see the home field advantage, go watch the Rutgers - Louisville game. Hell, they had Penn State on the ropes a few years ago, they beat Michigan in that stadium.

PSU-MN was 2019

We need SEC stadium rankings

Here’s my rankings: 1.) Michigan Stadium 2.) Beaver Stadium 3.) Ohio Stadium (Horse Shoe) 4.) Kinnick Stadium 5.) Camp Randall Stadium 6.) Nebraska Memorial Stadium 7.) Huntington Bank Stadium 8.) Spartan Stadium 9.) Illinois Memorial Stadium 10.) Ross-Ade Stadium 11.) Indiana Memorial Stadium 12.) SECU Stadium 13.) Shi Stadium 14.) Ryan Field

How Ross-Ade isn’t in last place shocks me. Purdue football stadium sucks

Architecture horrible: Penn State, Maryland, Michigan State, Rutgers, Northwestern.

Have you been to any of these?

SHI stadium...I almost thought he was going to add one more letter since the stadium was at the bottom tier of the list.

Penn State’s erector set Stadium? LOL!

I’m a Penn state fan and I can’t believe you put beaver stadium at #1. Yes, the atmosphere is definitely #1 but the place is a dump. It needs to be torn down and rebuilt.

Wtf are you ralkint about the horseshoe is quiet?

Romans 10:9

😂😂😂😂

Wow, I can’t believe Ohio state stadium wasn’t number one 😮

The Horseshoes great as long as you don't get up underneath that roof because when people stand up to see what's going on the people in the back can't see anyting

There is no way Lincoln Community College has the #5 stadium. The home of the Bugeaters should be no higher than 8. And the Big House at #3. Come On!

First

Penn state will win the big ten this year imo
