26. McLane Stadium (Baylor)

Opened in 2014, Baylor’s McLane Stadium is the newest college football stadium in the nation and it houses one of the most prolific offensive attacks in the nation. The Bears used to play their games at Floyd Casey Stadium, but the condition of that venue is not exactly the best.

Help from millions in donations, the now-elite Baylor football program under Art Briles has a new place to call home and it’s one of the more beautifully-built stadiums in the country and could eventually move up this list.

Though it might not be the biggest, holding just about 45,000 fans, it has the capacity of adding 10,000 seats eventually and the atmosphere is really something to behold.

Formerly known as Baylor Stadium, McLane Stadium named the field after one of its biggest donors and happens to be a huge selling point for recruits nowadays. Kids coming to play college football out of high school love the latest and the greatest, and this stadium has new everything and the locker room is one of the most spectacular you will ever see, shaped like a football and illuminated in the middle with Baylor’s “BU” logo.

It also has a pretty cool view of the Brazos River in Waco, Texas, and the view walking across the bridge and over the river might just take your breath away.
