15 Largest College Football Stadiums in the United States

Home of Rudy and the famous green and gold Fighting Irish is Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana. Built in 1930 and renovated most recently in 2017, this historic stadium can hold up to 80,795.

Clemson's Memorial Stadium, known by fans of the South Carolina school as "Death Valley," is one of the greatest sports experiences in the world. Every year, 81,500 fans cheer on their Tigers as they rush the field down a banked hill called "the Slope."

Nebraska's Memorial Stadium is considered by many sports fans to be one of the great "cathedrals of football," and rightfully so: Cheering on the Cornhuskers in a sold-out 85,000-person stadium would come close to a religious experience.

To give some context to how much Auburn fans love football, this stadium surrounding legendary Pat Dye Field becomes the fifth-largest city in Alabama. Over 88,000 fans have called this place home since 1939.

It's easy to see how the blue-and-orange-clad Gators have an immense following in the south when you visit Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, along with another 88,500 fans. Even more tail "gators" (pun intended) will swarm for miles around the stadium for big games against rival school Florida State.

The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, has hosted five Super Bowls, two Summer Olympics, two FIFA World Cup Finals and the annual bowl game for which it's named. Max capacity tops out at just over 91,000.

Sanford Stadium has been an iconic symbol of Athens, Georgia, since it opened in 1929. The clash of pads can barely be heard "between the hedges" as the Bulldogs play for 92,746 raving fans in red and black.

Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, has been an icon of the sport since it opened roughly a century ago. The Crimson Tide has been a dominant force in the SEC for generations, and that is due in large part to their loyal fanbase: 100,077 of them fill the seats every game day to keep their team rolling.

They say that everything is bigger in Texas, and that old adage rings true in terms of school spirit.

Roughly 102,000 loyal Big-Orange fans flock to the Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee, to support their squad. Already one of the biggest college football stadiums in the country, it's expected rise in the rankings after a whopping budget of $337 million was just passed last year for expanding renovations.

This home of the LSU Tigers is one of the most intimidating football stadiums in football. The pilgrimage of 102,500 fans to another "Death Valley" in Baton Rouge is a time-honored tradition that is a sight to behold for any sports fan.

Kyle Field in College Station is the largest stadium in the state, housing 102,733 seats. It has been the home of the Aggies since 1905. However, the stadium has gone through many changes over the years, undergoing one of the most expensive and intensive renovations in college athletics history.

Also known as "The Horseshoe" and "The House that Harley built," this mammoth structure in Columbus, Ohio, beats out Kyle Field by 50 seats to land the No. 3 spot on this list. Football is a game of inches, and a win's a win — so you can have this one, Buckeyes fans.
