25 best college football stadiums to watch a college football game

22. Camp Randall Stadium, Wisconsin

Now Wisconsin’s stadium gets props for being right on campus. It sits on the grounds of an old Civil War camp called Camp Randall, thus the name. The football team has been playing on these grounds since the 1800s. It’s an insane amount of time for one team to be playing in the same place. It’s the oldest stadium in the Big Ten Conference which is home to a bunch of old stadiums.

A lot has happened since the stadium rebuilt the bleachers after they literally collapsed in 1915 and then burned down in 1922 (a lot happened at this stadium in the early years). They added something called the “Fifth Quarter” which is the marching band putting on a show for 20 minutes after the game is over. It’s also held concerts for huge musical acts like Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, and U2.

The stadium holds more than 80,000 fans, most of which are donning the red and white that makes it one of the cooler flyovers in college football. Just a sea of red covers the stadium seats. The bowl shape of Camp Randall Stadium gives you a very cool feel when sitting in the stadium. It seems pretty simple, but with so many stadiums getting complicated, it’s nice to have that historic feel of Camp Randall Stadium.

Memorial Park makes the pregame stretch to the stadium awesome. It’s six acres of foliage that changes with the season. As it starts to feel like football weather in Wisconsin, it’s a real sight to see. Camp Randall is one of the most special pieces of history for the state of Wisconsin.
