Washington didn't rip off the overhang idea from the Seahawks. Washington has had an overhang since 1950. Lumen was built in 2002.

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.

"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.

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.

"My apologies to Wake Forest fans for forgetting your stadium. But I'll make it up to you by letting you know that I think your stadium sucks."

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"

Husky stadium overhangs were there before Seahawks Stadium was built

I love how Spartan Stadium just sits in the middle of MSU's csmpus. We just walk pass this huge stadium everyday on the way to class like nothing

As a Penn state fan, I 100% agree

This guy doesn’t seem to realize not every school, especially the small private ones, can afford to have massive 85,000 seat stadiums.

Washington had an overhang in the original stadium. Many northwest stadiums have had one. Should’ve been much higher on the list, too.

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.

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 :)

He's sooo wrong about Huntington Bank Staduim in Minnesota. There is no way that it should be outside of the top twenty. That place is great.

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.

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

If you'd been to K-State, you'd know that the architecture of the stadium matches the building architecture on campus

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.

I’m an OU fan but i gotta say I absolutely love the design of Penn State, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma State, and Baylor’s stadium.

Yeah, Mizzou did do a renovation- pretty major. South end zone turned into a complex, and standing room expanded in the North.

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!

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.

This guy has no clue how to rate stadiums. Lmao

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

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

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.

I think UVA's stadium isn't that bad. The grass patch may be more even be more comfortable than sitting on bleachers.

Putting husky stadium at 19 is insanely disrespectful

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

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.

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!

This video was incredible love stuff like this. you should do live mascots 😂

Thanks DG! I asked for this a few weeks ago!

The disrespect on Syracuse, we have one of the only indoor stadiums in college football. Our seating is being improved this year as well.

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

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

that was intense. Thanks. I enjoyed it that trip around the football world.

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

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😊

Houston’s stadium ahead of TCU’s and Baylor’s? WTF?!? These rankings are random and don’t seem to follow any criteria.

Autzen Stadium has one of the best crowds in the country

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

If I can make a suggestion, add the stadium capacity under the names. Enjoy the content keep it up!

Stanford stadium is literally brand new. The old stadium was demolished.

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

Great job! Love those stadium ranking videos!

Would have liked to see stadium capacity and which stadiums you have actually been to. Great video! Loved it

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.

I can't lie, I've never disagreed with a rankings video so hard. Thanks for the content though I guess

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.

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

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.

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.

Good job considering the task. I learned some things. I was hoping to learn something about a couple of stadiums that I am going to see bowl games, but I forgot that a G5 team plays in one and a baseball team plays in the other.

Sorry... Husky Stadium must be higher. Period.

My favorite stadium is unanimously Colorado’s. It looks good, has great atmosphere, and the natural scenery is breathtaking.

Rating stadiums. Wow. What's next, ranking uniforms? Or have you already done that? This is content that an elementary school boy would do with a KZfaq channel....

How can you possibly have Indiana ahead of Kentucky??? 😂

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.

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.

Dang this must have took you a very long time to make this video with all of the research, great video

You can here the crowd from dkr while driving down 35 with the windows up. It's insane🤘🏼

I thought baylors stadium was sick and unique and they put it by the water but then this guy says “there’s nothing that’s special about it” 😂😂😂

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.

Texas A&M has the best stadium in my opinion. That thing is GORGEOUS and just downright MASSIVE.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

Team colors plays an underrated role in stadiums. Cause in a packed stadium, the boring colors from fans cause a dull vibe

I know it’s not power 5 but UTEP may have the most beautiful football stadium and views!!!

"Palace on the Prairie" aka Oklahoma's Memorial Stadium is top 5 in my book

you know what I’m not offended with Michigan being 4

I love your videos

The scariest part about LSU’s stadium is the fact that it still has room to grow.

Williams Brice 40th????? Obviously, you have never visited.

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

Husky stadium is waaaay older than the Seahawks stadium. The Seahawks took a page from UW

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.

Great vid bro this must of took hours to make respect

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

I don’t know about this list…..I don’t think you’ve been to most of these.

Scott stadium underrated imo

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.

Would be cool if ya did some reviews of Group of Five stadiums. Maybe go conference to conference.

I don’t see an issue with Vandy upgrading their stadium during the season.

wtf is bro yapping about on louisville stadium ☠️

Sir, you must mention that you have a clear bird's eye view looking over the Tower on Texas's campus, all the way to the capital. It is a sight to see how these two buildings are aligned.

Good job!

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

I’m a Mississippi State fan and I went to Williams Brice and I loved it I think it’s should be higher

Putting williams bryce that far down is a bold move

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

One thig to consider is percentage of seating with a 'Good View.' Perhaps this could be a future video? I'd be curious to see how Carter-Finley Stadium ranks when taking this approach.

Fav's are Husky Stadium, Kinnick Stadium and Tiger Stadium

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.

Do one on mid major stadiums please

Beaver Stadium is so elite and like you said the crowds are very energetic, not to mention its one of the loudest stadiums currently
