25 best college football stadiums to watch a college football game

13. Bryant-Denny Stadium, Alabama
The dominant program of college football has one of the best stadiums in the country, but it’s not quite in the top ten. However, it does lose some points when it constantly keeps going back to Legion Field with this beautiful masterpiece in Tuscaloosa. Still, Bryant-Denny Stadium is one of the most spectacular pieces of architecture in Alabama.
Some of the amenities Alabama fans get to enjoy every game include the voice of the legendary coach Bear Bryant across the sound system, a crimson-hued light display on the LED light system, and a walk to the front gate that’s riddled with legends of Crimson Tide lore. Bryant-Denny Stadium is home to one of the most dominant teams in college sports, and it needed a home that spoke to that dominance.
One of the interesting decisions for Alabama was to configure four smaller scoreboards across the stadium instead of one giant scoreboard like other stadiums. This gives more fans the ability to see what’s happening on the video. It doesn’t grab the headlines like others on the list, but it might be a decision in the best interest of the fans.
Bryant-Denny Stadium has the money behind its lore. Not only has this structure been around since 1929, but Alabama has an incredible record inside its walls, especially lately. The Crimson Tide wins 80 percent of its games here, and it is one of the atmospheres that can get opposing players in their own heads. It doesn’t help that they have to get dressed in a locker room called “the Fail Room”.
