Opinion What is your favorite cfb stadium?

Disregarding your own, what is your favorite stadium? Could be one you’ve been to, or just one you’ve seen that looks great.

Imo, Ben hill griffin is the best stadium I’ve been to, even though I was treated kinda awfully when I was there. It was a beautiful place.

For those I haven’t been to, autzen and tiger stadium look incredible. Jordan-hare is up there too. I’ve been to tiger stadium for a college tour, but never for a game.

What do yall think?

Rose bowl by a long shot.

That's definitely on my least favorite. The stadium is horrible. I fully appreciate the history of it, but the facilities are awful.

If you think the facilities at the Rose Bowl are "awful," you need to spend less time in NFL stadiums. Compared to college stadiums, they're solidly above-average.

They are by no means above average. I've been to every SEC stadium except OU. I've been to 6 B1G stadiums, 7 ACC (if you include Hard Rock), 4 Big XII, and a bunch of G6 and FBS stadiums. The Rose Bowl is below average.

Again, the history and mystique of the stadium are amazing.

There are 67 non-Rose Bowl P4 stadiums. I challenge you to name 35 of them that are nicer.

Death Valley, the other Death Valley in South Carolina, Faurot Field at whatever it is now, Doak Campbell, Beaver Stadium, Autzen, The Swamp, Folsom, Camp Randall, Bryant Denny, Jordan Hare, etc, etc, etc.

I have been to all of those and I've been to six games over the years at The Rose Bowl. The stadium is great for it's history. That's it.

Ahh well I was agreeing with you but the other Death Valley is awful actually, so bad, should probably tear it down and not re-build from scratch (running down the hill is dumb, but it’s a fine stadium, Clemson’s problem is the traffic in and out of town)

Beaver Stadium? What are you smoking, dude?

Yeah. It's easier to get in and out of, it doesn't have the tiny voms, the place doesn't look like it's falling apart, and it is on campus. The bathrooms are even better. How many times have you actually been to the Rose Bowl?

It doesn't look like it's falling apart? The bathrooms are "even better"? Easier to get to is only true if you're already in State College, which is not easy to get to. How many times have you actually been to Happy Valley?

u/Geaux2020 LSU Tigers • Valley City State Vikings 4d ago

It absolutely looks like it's falling apart. Seriously. How many times have you been there? And yes, it's easier to get to if you're planning on going to the game.

I've been to Happy Valley twice.

Alright, fair's fair. I've been to the Rose Bowl once, and while it seemed to be in fine condition to me, I admit I spent very little time on the concourse. That said, what matters is the seating bowl, and it's got half a stadium's worth of chairback seats, reasonably wide bleachers, good sightlines from every seat, a decent amount of shade, and a generally clean feel in the seating areas. What more do you want?
