25 best college football stadiums to watch a college football game

7. Beaver Stadium – Penn State

The top seven stadiums in college football are some of the best landmarks in the world. It’s hard to rank these seven. Depending on the opinion, any of these can take the number-one spot. Take Beaver Stadium. The White Out for Penn State home games is hard to top for any other school. It looks like something out of a cartoon, but it’s real life.

Penn State basically has its own town surrounding the university. Happy Valley comes in droves to see the Nittany Lions on a weekly basis. Beaver Stadium is the second biggest stadium in terms of capacity (106,572) only behind Michigan Stadium. It is not hard for Penn State to get every single seat filled for every home game.

Is Beaver Stadium an architectural masterpiece like others on the list? No, but the atmosphere that it breeds overcomes that. The school puts together a show pregame, especially for a night game. They have pyrotechnics coming out the sides of the stadium as the team runs out on the field. The “We Are Penn State” chants will literally shake the stadium.

Penn State has the best student section in the country. Full stop. Sorry to all the other student sections. This isn’t anything against you. It just shows the passion for this fanbase. They are 0 to 100 on every single play. A ten-yard run gets the people to their feet. The sound coming from the stands has put great players in precarious situations and caused them to falter. They may not have columns or the best video screen, but visitors don’t even notice that because of the experience they feel inside Beaver Stadium.
