25 best college football stadiums to watch a college football game

9. Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, Texas
People are extremely split on Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Some think it is absolutely a top-ten stadium and college football experience, while others think it’s wholly overrated like everything else colored in burnt orange. As one of the stadiums that can pack more than 100,000 fans into the stadium every week, it cannot be ignored.
The fact they were able to make it a 100,000 seat stadium while also keeping its iconic horseshoe shape makes it a great stadium. However, it looks like that might not last. The latest renovation looks to enclose the stadium with a new video board. Texas just put in a new video board in 2006, at the time the biggest board in college football, but some have passed them. Naturally, now Texas is looking to add a new video board for next season. This is what Texas does. They continue to throw money at its football program, which includes the stadium, so they can claim to be one of the best in the country.
The atmosphere for a huge Texas matchup is unbridled. The fans are, in a word, crazy. That leads to cheers that can be heard from all across Texas. The Longhorns may not always have the best product on the field, but that’s due to wild expectations. They never bottom out like other teams on the list. That leads to an excitement for game day that most colleges strive for but never achieve.
