There has been a constant debate among college football fans about which stadium is the best in the sport. Furthermore, which is the best in each conference?
You often hear that The Big House in Ann Arbor, despite being the greatest cathedral in all of sports, the largest sports stadium in North America, doesn’t compare to other great venues. However, Tom Fornelli of CBS Sports disagrees.
Fornelli ranked all 18 Big Ten stadiums now that the conference is getting four additions via the Pac-12 and The Big House comes in third.
3. Michigan – Michigan Stadium
The first time I saw Michigan Stadium from the outside, I was not impressed. For a place called “The Big House,” it didn’t seem very big. It was only when I entered that the size of the place slapped me in the face. More than 107,000 people fill the stands on autumn Saturdays, and there’s no escaping them. The opponents are completely surrounded and the closest seats are practically away from the players.
Michigan just behind Penn State‘s Beaver Stadium (which is our best stadium, having visited all 14 classic Big Ten schools) and washington‘s Husky Stadium, which has stunning waterfront views.
The Wolverines’ home is also ahead Oregon, Ohio State, USC and the rest of the hallowed halls of the Big Ten.
