25 best college football stadiums to watch a college football game

19. Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, Oklahoma

The Oklahoma Sooners have been one of the better teams in college football as of late, winning the Big 12 Conference every year since 2015 and making the College Football Playoff in four out of the last six years. They get a lot of credit for what they do on the field, but the field they play on doesn’t always get its due.

This is another stadium that’s coming up to its 100th anniversary, but renovations in 2019 make it one of the most updated stadiums in the country. It has stadium-wide WiFi, bringing students and fans more connected as they watch their Sooners play. They continue to make renovations, but most importantly they replaced serious infrastructure flaws that cost millions in repairs over the years. Now, there are plenty of new seats and a lot of new restrooms and concession options.

The one thing that will stand out about Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium is the scoreboard. It is a ridiculous 31 feet tall and an even more ridiculous 166 feet wide. It stands over the entire stadium, with numbers so big even grandpa can see them from his seat. The Sooners don’t have the largest scoreboard by square feet, but the sheer length of it really stands out.

Two 3,000 square foot open-air plazas give fans a perfect view of the field and allow for more fans to get standing-room-only seating during the biggest games of the season. Even when it’s just used as an extra amenity, it gives people room to watch the game without being stuck to their seats.
