    I have enjoyed some games at Neyland which is pretty great. SEC football is #1. I haven't been to the Big House though so can't compare.

    I may have to vote for the Rose Bowl. There are just too many terrific stadiums to name one or even 15

    The interesting thing with this is the atmosphere vs. actual stadium as so much of the college stadium IS the atmosphere taking place within it. Obviously for tradition rich programs they usually have both to a certain extent. I've never been to the Big House but I've read that it can be the quietest you could ever expect 110k+ to be. Compare that to a place such as Autzen that has half as many people and is one of the loudest stadiums in the country, and thanks to Nike likely one of the nicest amenity wise as well. edit: Loud doesn't equal atmosphere as 'Hail to the Victors' and all that is great, but it is a big part of it. Also not picking on Michigan, just using it as an example since it was brought up. image

    I really would like to see the Rose Bowl. I kick myself for not going to the title game last year...

    It's amazing how quiet the big house is compared to beaver stadium, with the same amount of people.

    Part of the reason I selected the Rose bowl is due to the historical games that have been played there. The goal that so many have as College players is to play there on New Year's Day.

    I believe UCLA moved from the Coliseum to the Rose Bowl in the 1980s- perhaps around 1984 or 1985.

    Night game in Baton Rouge after the Cajuns have been drinking all day. For tailgating, I'll take The Grove at Ole Miss and give you the field.

    Maybe in Big Ten or Pac 12 country. The rest of the nation does not really care about the Rose Bowl.

    Not the greatest, but I'll throw the Rosewood Bowl in for prettiest. These pics don't do this stadium justice and the view of the ocean is steps away. Then they take the field and that's not pretty at all. Plus no one goes, but it's sad no one knows this place exists.

    Redwoods + Ocean = awsesome
