25 best college football fan atmospheres

19. Oregon Ducks

Oregon has been one of the most fun teams to watch on the field for the better part of the last two decades. Whether it’s the Chip Kelly offense, LaMichael James running through defenses, or Justin Herbert growing his legacy as one of the most talented QBs in college football, the Ducks provide a great experience on the field. There aren’t many defensive battles at Autzen Stadium.

The tailgates are relatively small compared to some of the tailgates on the list, but they are still incredibly fun. The Mo Tailgate Center is an interesting experience, with a dining hall experience to take in before game day. Oh, and the cheerleaders, marching band, and even the players show up to march down the center aisle right before the game. It’s one of the best indoor college football experiences.

There are a lot of rules that generally hurt Oregon’s tailgating experience (smoking ban in parking lots, restrictions on alcohol consumption), but it’s hard to beat a pregame party in the Pacific Northwest.

The environment inside Autzen Stadium is great. The fans are loud, the stadium is kept up nicely, and the fan section is bumping. It’s regularly ranked among the loudest stadiums in college football.
