Trending searches: largest college football stadiums
yeah everybody my name is Lyle and welcome to
the channel so we're continuing our discovery of college football somebody sent me this link
for Big 10 college football stadium so I know a lot of people have been saying comments
in the in the comment section uh of video saying about the capacity of stadiums etc etc
so I thought we'd check this one out so let's jump in let's do big 10 college football stadiums
uh let's go up until now had been going through the FBS conferences in a complete is that is a
straight okay somebody's speaking my language literally speaking my language random order
but due to overwhelming demand I've had to make the executive decision that allows a big
10 to jump the Q okay actually I don't think you say Q in America so to cut the line I guess
combined the Big 10 stadiums have a capacity of around 1 million but that doesn't mean that the
average capacity is 100 ,000 no because there are of course 14 teams as you'd expect with a name
like big 10 anyway here are the big 10 college football stadiums Beaver Stadium home of the Penn
State NY Lions the stadium is named after James a beaver who built the stadium most James a beaver
it's Jame okay I see what you done there okay um that's what Penn State's called okay beavers build
dams but in this area of Pennsylvania they're a little more sophisticated that might not actually
be true it's got that dry straying uh comedic W okay that is a big Stadium holy look at the car
park the thing I love most about this stadium is that the expansions that have occurred over the
years are very conspicuous you can basically see how every section has been expanded oh yeah
okay and you've got a bit of everything being sprinkled in I particularly like the design
of each end zone in the north you have this big curved upper deck that hovers above the
lower bowl which is a fairly uncommon design and the South End Zone seating is similar
to that of LSU's Tiger Stadium looks great the stadium is set for a major renovation that
will bring it into the 21st century oh because although it looks good on the outside there are
some aspects where it's lacking on the inside okay Camp Rand St so 106,000 that's a lot of
that's a lot of people uh Penn State okay now there is one I will look at Penn State a little
bit closer too because of the what do they call that white out I think that's what they call it
we're going to have a look at that a little bit later as well too home of the Wisconsin Badgers
it's the oldest stadium in the Big 10 in fact it's named after the Union Army training camp
that occupied the site during the Civil War oh I'm not usually a big fan of Wars but at least
they kept it civil this one oh my God come on man do we really need that kind of humor is
another stadium that has a lot going on well most of the capacity comes from the main it kind
of the end of it with this building here um it looks very Roman looks very Roman uh okay okay
uming ball once again which is fairly plain and simple but then you have this sizable upper deck
on the western side that curves its way around match with the skyox equivalent on the East
the exterior is also completely different on each side of the stadium and it's not something
I usually mention but they have a very fancy looking Fieldhouse as well yeah that's what I
was think car park is much smaller than Penn State well I mean it is what almost 30,000 or
less people but much much smaller okay Maryland stadium home of the Maryland terrains if like
me you were wondering what a Terrain is y it's a turtle they chose that name of course because
Turtles are known for their speed strength and Agility I'm not even going to I'm not even going
to say anything man if you're from Maryland I do apologize um okay now but turtles are cool
this one is a lot simpler than the last two it's a fairly typical horseshoe design with the
addition of very tall Triple Decker seating on one of the sides oh yeah and on the other side
they've got this combination of outdoor seating and luxury suits it looks pretty cool actually I
often very open compared to the last couple that we've seen very very open now there's more
than 14 teams isn't there does he mean the top 14 see that that's where it starts to get
confusing in my mind it's like how many teams what are we talking about it must be the top tier
let me know I know there is another um video I'm going to do as well which has the three divisions
I think it is um but we'll get to that in at another stage so okay note how some stadiums have
an exterior that's reminiscent of a parking garage but this one literally has a parking garage as the
exterior behind the West End Zone which is very convenient kinck Stadium home of the Iowa hawy
69 it's named after Nile kinck I believe it's the only College Stadium named after a Heisman
Trophy winner which is very surprising and yet they've got one that's named after a beaver
called James this sort of design is somewhat uncommon in college football given that it's made
up of four individual stands that aren't connected oh but those stands do have quite a traditional
look to them with a red brick facade for the most part but what the stadium is most well known
for can't be seen from the outside the V is this the one with the Children's Hospital visitor's
locker room is completely pink which is done to put the away team in a passive mood I mean how
fired up can you get when you're surrounded by Pink it also has been known to increase their
concern for having their Nails broken it even extends to the bathroom which might not be in
the spirit of sportsmanship but it is kind of funny I wonder what would be crossing the line
could you constantly have K-pop music playing in the rooms that's like the audio equivalent
of the color pink well to be honest I don't even know what it sounds like but just look
at that yes that [Music] is I'm I'm sure it's Iowa that let me know man we just did that in
the video I cannot remember that wave to the the children's hospital I'm pretty sure Memorial
Stadium home of the Illinois fighting illan this one's a little different it has a very elegant
Neo classical design particularly the exterior oh yeah it looks like something you'd see in
the ivy league in fact it kind of looks like a combination of Harvard stadium and Franklin Field
oh my God they look like the I've never SE in the outside of that lookss like the Coliseum actually
the Coliseum something that's quite fascinating about this stadium is that during construction
way back in the 20s heavy rain caused one of the bulldozers to sink into the field they decided
that it wasn't feasible to remove it so it remains there to this day wait is that right is that
true let me know I so many jokes this guy's got who knows what he's like telling the truth
what the heck ill ill is that what it's called fighting illan that doesn't sound right yes it's
tragic but at least the bulldozer driver was able to memorize the owner's manual in English French
and Spanish before he died from asfixiation here's a quick learner although he did have a bit of
trouble with the Japanese section it almost looks fake cuz it's so pristine the the field
and everything and that's impressive field I am of course joking nobody was buried alive
with the bulldozer but I do really like this Stadium Memorial Stadium home of the Indiana
husers first impressions are that this Stadium isn't anything out of the ordinary and then you
look behind each of the end zones to the South there's a miniature version of the field and to
the north you notice a spectacular Cathedral or castle like building what stunning although as
with many college stadiums The Southern End Zone was recently expanded so now it looks like this
sadly the little baby field was crushed yes it's tragic but it was able to memorize what concrete
smells like before it died from asphixiation the interesting thing about this stadium is that
those huge stands to the East and particularly to the West they've been here since the stadium
was built except there was literally nothing else it was just grass behind each Endzone wow
that is definitely changed wow kind of like that okay Memorial Stadium home of the Nebraska Corn
Huskers for being just humble Corn Husker folk they've done quite well for themselves they've
built themselves a magnificent stadium with grand facades on each side very impressive on the
inside it looks just as good and the Eastern stand technically has five tiers of seating which you
certainly don't see every day that's talk about the nose bleed wow that's pretty high behind each
end zone you have these huge stands which look pretty cool and I suppose I should mention that
on game day the stadium itself becomes the third biggest city in the great state of Nebraska now
a couple of people did say that um that happens that's that's crazy that is crazy isn't it I mean
it just looks amazing and I keep hoing on it's College I still trying to get that that fact you
know in my brain and wrap around and whatever else we have nothing like this here it's crazy it is
crazy although it's it's not a city it's a stadium within a City Nebraska doesn't have many sizable
cities I think is the main point because as the legendary Nebraskan poet Douglas McNugget once
said you can't grow corn in a concrete jungle so true okay Michigan Stadium now this is where we
saw um them doing Mr bright side um okay it's kind of okay it's not very tall this day greens let
me start out by mentioning that it's the third biggest stadium in the world and the biggest
outside of Asia so that's fairly impressive in itself but the Stadium's sunken design
means that from the outside you'd hardly notice anywhere near that size it really
does look like a sunken bow doesn't it okay the design although it looks pretty good
is very very simple it's just a single tiered bolt with Sky boxes on either side of I mean
if it works it works you get a 107,000 um and to see everybody in there it's fantastic sight
field in fact the most unusual thing about it is that it's almost perfectly symmetrical
an anomaly in college football the stadium holds numerous attendance records as you
might expect including the largest college football crowd that wasn't held in a NASCAR
track which was a little over 115,000 wow 115,000 Jesus that's crazy Ohio stadium home
of the Ohio State Buckey you see I know that a sunken field design is more cost effective and
I guess it would be safer if an earthquake were to occur but you've just got to love an imposing
exterior like that yeah just look at it I mean I like that sunken Bowl that's unique in itself
but when you drive up to it and you see this thing you know towering above you that's a
different feel as well it's a fortress I'm surprised there isn't a drawbridge that would
be pretty cool actually this little section was inspired by the pantheon in Rome but the
entire Stadium itself was clearly inspired by something less opulent that being the shoe of a
horse oh yeah yeah it definitely does look like one well it did did say there was a horseshoe
design um okay again the field looks you know perfect shape in fact before the southern end was
filled in it was the king of all horseshoes now it technically isn't a horseshoe Stadium even
if it is its nickname but one thing that isn't in doubt is that it's a very impressive Stadium
I really do like it it is a fortress look at it Ross Aid Stadium home of the Purdue boiler makers
okay that is a very specific nickname but I like it you've got to be tough to make a boiler well
perhaps not these days the state is it off season cuz the field looks completely different
to the other ones maybe it is maybe they're resurfacing it or whatever they do with field
as you can see is that rudimentary single tier horseshoe style that you see here and there it's
probably the simplest stadium in this conference but for some people that's ideal but the stadium
south end zone is a little unusual this section used to have bleaches but I guess it's just
this guy's private parking space now oh damn okay Ryan Field home of the Northwestern
wild okay now this one's got a bit more going on it's another one with a fortress just
like grand entrance with two big white towers that can be seen from inside the stadium it's
the smallest Big 10 stadium in terms of seating capacity and some of that seating is a little
strange the main stands Upper Deck curves both from the bird's eye view and the side on view
which is quite uncommon uhoh and what's with this section it seems like they should have
just continued with the Curve H don't know weird angle like it should be kind of Twisted
a little bit that's a weird angle for that end what the hell I don't know if you've ever
sat there let me know what the viewing Point's like kind of looks like it's kind of off but I'm
sure there's a reason it's definitely a unique Stadium you've got to give it that wild cats
she Stadium home of the r Scarlet nights 52,000 no obvious medieval inspired architecture with
this one it's all fairly normal on the outside but it does have a cannon however so that's good
it's fired when the Scarlet Knights score but I presume it also comes in handy when a drunken
spectator runs onto the field that actually sounds like fun something else that's a little
unique is the red tin roof section that wraps its way around the North End Zone seating as well as
this little section of the South End Zone that's actually the recruit recruiting Lounge other
than that fairly straight recruiting Lounge for what for the football ruas I'm sure I've heard of
rutkus before probably for movie but a good one I know Spartan Stadium home of the Michigan State
Spartans 75 this stadium has a very clean design it would even be perfectly symmetrical just
like the other stadium in Michigan if it was wasn't for this builtup side over on the
west that was added in 2005 I like it it's modern yet traditional and it's the only side
of the stadium with a particularly goodlooking exterior the rest is a bit me it may come
as a bit of a shock but due to this section the stadium is actually the tallest building
in the city provided you exclude those Smoke Stacks over there and to be fair the city has a
smaller population than the Stadium's capacity so it's not much of wait what
how does that work out okay brag and finally TCF Bank Stadium home of the
Minnesota Gophers it's the newest stadium in the conference although you might not be able
to tell just by looking at it they have tried to stick with a traditional college football
aesthetic kind of I mean there weren't really any designs quite like this in the 1920s but the
exterior is still fairly classical looking with the extensive use of one actually you also get a
decent view of the Minneapolis Skyline from some Vantage points which is always good the stadium
is designed to be able to seamlessly expand in the future if need be and you can just tell by
looking at it where the additional seating might be added yeah it's a great Stadium to end with
and that's all for today's video If you enjoyed please consider subscribing thanks for watching
have a good one some of those obviously some of those uh stadiums are huge um but again
obviously it comes down to the the Big 10 I'm assuming that's the um the actual football
teams not the the stadiums cuz I know there's a few more stadiums bigger than those ones so
uh obviously Michigan is the the biggest one so third largest in the world that's crazy that's
great I mean I keep I know I keep hopping on and everybody keeps hopping on it as well you know
college and whatever but just to kind of get my brain around that you know there that you know
step behind the what you call the professionals um but it's probably bigger than the NFL uh I
know people keep saying you know oh we you know we like our college football better than the NFL
uh and I could probably see why as well too so um especially if you ever go to any of these
colleges as well you know you've got to have that that loyalty to that to that college so
man that was very interesting some of the jokes a little weird but um I mean here's Australian
what can you expect um but um good information and that good aerial view footage of some of
those stadiums as well uh it's amazing how you can take something like a stadium where
in theory they're all the same you know sit people so you can see the the game that's going on
but they always have their little you know their little quirks and their little charms and you
know even just the the way that they shape the actual Stadium as well changes slightly as well
um man that was very interesting very interesting so obviously there's a lot more stadiums to see
than that as I said we do have some more videos coming in with the the divisions explained which
I don't understand at the moment but um I'm sure we'll get to the end of that as well or to so
um and I do have other videos coming out as well if you have suggestions uh for my college
football Discovery Journey let me know down in in the comment section there uh I'd definitely
love to have a look at them so let me know if you enjoy this one guys thank you very much for
joining us today make sure you stay safe and I will definitely see you in the next reaction video
did you enjoy that video why not watch another one
