As a fan of college football, you probably have a bucket list of stadiums you want to visit before you go. Throughout the years, many iconic games have been played and legendary coaches have roamed sidelines at some of the greatest stadiums in the nation.

What makes a stadium great, though?

Well, it’s a mixture of many qualifications. Sure, a stadium can be considered one of the best in college football if it’s brand new and has some state of the art features such as an awesome press box, spacious seating and new scoreboards and technology that might exceed what you thought possible during a football game.

Another way you could see a stadium being considered one of the best is if it has history and an overall amazing atmosphere. Were championships won by the teams who play there or used to play there? Did some of the greatest and most memorable games of all time take place on that very turf?
There are definitely different ways to decipher between a good stadium and one that is just flat-out worthy of being added to a bucket list.

For example, the Minnesota Golden Gophers’ new stadium is definitely nice because it was opened just six years ago, but would you rather go there or to a historic facility like the Rose Bowl?

As difficult as it would be to decide between a well put-together field and a historic, goosebump-inducing atmosphere, there are perks to each one.

On this list, I will do my best to rank the top 50 college football stadiums in the country and you will find the new and the old on here, but which will rank higher?
