Ranking Big Ten stadiums 1 through 18
The Big Ten is home to some of the most historic college football stadiums in the nation. Which is the most iconic?

I do think it was mentioned how it was back when we were good- it was sort of fair. Though, there was way too much on the new members. Yeah- the Rose Bowl and Coliseum are always going be up at the top with Mich, OSU, PSU but not sure about the others.Article sounded a little condescending.
Hopefully Oregon can find out how "LOUD" our stadium can be.
I only read through this half way, but he seems fixated on capacity and doesn't mention much else, like the tailgating scene, etc.
I agree with those three as I've been to those 3 stadiums quite a few times but i would have OSU #1 with PSU second. Michigan is 3rd as they just don't seem to get into the game like the other 2.Having never been to most of the stadiums, the writer provided a pretty fair ranking. Ohio State writers would probably have us ranked last because our stadium is usually empty by the time the game is over. I would have the big house #1, because overall that is the best stadium and game day environment, imo. Horseshoe would be #2. Penn State would be #3.
Yet Oregon is in the same neighborhood at 57,000. I guess it only matters when you want it to matter?I only read through this half way, but he seems fixated on capacity and doesn't mention much else, like the tailgating scene, etc.
I am actually in Eugene OR on a business trip right now. Their Stadium is nothing to look at. The local Sports Radio station today was mocking Rutgers Football. Saying “ do you really want to see the Ducks play Rutgers”… They are crying about missing their West Coast PAC 10 rivalries. BTW the girls out here are fat.Ducks are acting like dicks by slighting B1G stadiums even before entering the league.
Aren't a few of the stadiums up that way in areas that may be beautiful but not ideal for tailgating?I am actually in Eugene OR on a business trip right now. Their Stadium is nothing to look at.

Wash is a picturesque setting for sailgating but not sure about tailgatingAren't a few of the stadiums up that way in areas that may be beautiful but not ideal for tailgating?
I tailgated at UW when we played out there in 2016. Just a big paved parking lot, but it got the job done; nothing special. But yes, the sailgating scene is incredible.Wash is a picturesque setting for sailgating but not sure about tailgating
I wish we could do that with the Raritan RiverI tailgated at UW when we played out there in 2016. Just a big paved parking lot, but it got the job done; nothing special. But yes, the sailgating scene is incredible.
We just had a thread on this! 😃I wish we could do that with the Raritan River
Sometimes simple is good. Weird one for me was GS's first game at Buffalo. We're in a paved lot behind some academic buildings with students coming and going from classes. We wound up right next to Brian Leonard and his family. BL wasn't at RU yet.I tailgated at UW when we played out there in 2016. Just a big paved parking lot, but it got the job done; nothing special.

I know, but I won’t let that idea die!We just had a thread on this! 😃
Dredge the Raritan!I know, but I won’t let that idea die!

I don't get why your stadium is ever derided. I think it's pretty nice. Personally, I'm not a fan of having an NFL-quality stadium on a college campus. It seems out of place to me. SHI is sharp enough for college football. If it was at a vanilla B1G school like Minnesota or Illinois, nobody would be trashing it...Awesome … 13th on the list … still bottom 3rd but at least higher than a few others.
Team has never been consistently good coupled with the outside looks like shit (except for the front part facing River Road)I don't get why your stadium is ever derided. I think it's pretty nice.

Outside only looks bad in the west side. North side, where most fans enter, looks great.Team has never been consistently good coupled with the outside looks like shit (except for the front part facing River Road)
It had some character when we had the hill, now it's bland
At least it gets loud when the team's playing well
Is that river road entrance?Outside only looks bad in the west side. North side, where most fans enter, looks great.
Where are you from? Seems like you don’t know the area.Is that river road entrance?
The entrance there looks little leagueWhere are you from? Seems like you don’t know the area.
No. The opposite end where the statues are.
