25 best college football stadiums to watch a college football game

3. Michigan Stadium, Michigan

Hey! Michigan beat Ohio State!

Okay, enough of the cheap shots. Michigan Stadium is one of the greatest structures in sports. In terms of pure size, it is unmatched. It holds more than 109,000 fans every week, the biggest stadium in the United States and the third biggest non-racing stadium in the world. When the Wolverines faced Notre Dame in 2013, they fit more than 115,000 fans into The Big House. That is a feat to behold.

One of the most interesting facts about a college football stadium, when Michigan Stadium was originally built, it went on top of an underground spring that caused a lot of it to fall below ground level. This makes it one of the most unique settings in sports. Having a stadium literally going into the ground is unlike almost any venue. Nobody would think to do that on purpose, so the fact that the biggest venue in North America did it on accident is the best fun fact. It also gives this strange feeling like the crowd roars are descending down on players. Again, just the best accident ever.

Michigan has led the nation in attendance in 41 of the past 43 seasons. They come out in droves and it’s nearly impossible to outdo them. Wolverines fans are insanely loyal whether it’s a two-win season or a 12-win season. They will come out, demand greatness every Saturday, talk about Wolverines football all week, then get themselves going before the game so they can cheer on the Wolverines once again.
