Rice Eccles isn’t the only PAC 12 stadium with an Olympic cauldron/flame. LA Memorial Coliseum has one on top of the peristyle and they light it during the 4th Quarter of USC home games.
@@ec1628 Looks like in 2028, they'll fire it up a third time. Apparently the Opening Ceremonies that year will take place at two venues simultaneously; at the Coliseum and at SoFi.

I'm 99.9% sure given the general humor style of this channel that you're being r/whooshed. He said it right before going into the Coliseum and showing that picture.
Currently attending UW as a freshman. Lemme tell you, seeing all the games in the student section of Husky Stadium this season has been an absolute blast, love the setting. Beautiful view, loud fans, excellent view of the field and what's going on, and the marching band being right next to us is really energizing. It's overall just an amazing experience I have to admit. I've actually even been sailgating, so I got ferried from a restaurant over to the Arizona game last month, lovely experience in its own right, and pretty much only possible at Husky Stadium since it's right up against the water.
As a husky grad who still attends most home games it’s probably one of the coolest places to attend a game, the view and proximity to the water is awesome.
Glad you're having fun, but don't over do it. You don't want to be one of those people who have to transfer because they aren't able to get into their chosen program.
@@neverbackdown1918: Agreed that Husky Stadium has fallen off and I'm a Husky fan. When the Huskies are on top of not only the conference, but college football in general, they had the loudest stadium in the country as measured by decibals. Husky Stadium measured 133.6 decibals in 1992 and I don't recall that record ever being broken. Now it makes my puke to say that Autzen has the loudest crowd in the conference.
Difference between loudest stadium and loudest fans. UW, when rocking, has the roof on both sides to force the noise down. We just have an aging and absent fan base. MA and PA just can't do all these night games. The move to the B1G Ten West (oh dear God please!) should help the attendance and, in turn, the noise.
This statement is akin to saying a new modern stadium is more interesting that Martin Stadium. The California stadiums and Arizona stadium were built in the 1920 about 100 years ago while Martin Stadium was built in the 70s.
I would rate Martin Stadium a little bit higher. It’s a smaller stadium, but when it is full, it is very loud. And the stands are close to the sidelines. I do agree with Husky Stadium is #1.
Martin Stadium is actually really nice after the renovation. I know someone has to be last, but I would have ranked them higher. Plus it smack dab in the middle of campus which is pretty cool.
The arches on Stanford Stadium are some of the fthe remaining pieces of the old stadium when it was more of a coliseum. I love that its sunken into the ground, built out of a hill.
Amazing how old the Pac 12 stadiums (in the 1920s, at or around 100 years ago) are Husky Stadium 1920, Folsom Field (Colorado) 1924, LA Coliseum (USC) 1923, Rose Bowl (UCLA) 1922, Stanford Stadium 1921, Cal Memorial Stadium 1923 and Arizona Stadium 1929.
It shows that in the 1920s the West Coast was big time in college football...the south and the northeast did not have many stadiums the sizes of the ones mentioned. Only the Midwest did (OSU, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois all had stadiums of 60,000 plus in the 1920s.)
Stanford rebuilt entirely in 2006. The old stadium was a hole in the ground with bleachers built on the dirt and seated 80,000. The new stadium is a lot nicer, but only seats 50,000.
The best view of the house at Folsom Field is actually Coach Prime's office window. I guess one of their (Colorado head coach) perks is to be able to look over the stadium to see the Flatirons on those cold snowy winter days while they are recruiting.
I went to Husky Stadium for a Seahawks game in the 2000 season after the demolition of the Kingdome and while they were awaiting the completion of their new stadium. We rode a yacht from Lake Union out into Lake Washington, cruised by Bill Gates estate, and then returned to Lake Union to disembark for the game. Alcohol was not being served in the stadium so we binged before leaving the yacht, returned to the yacht at halftime to refuel, and then topped off our tanks before leaving. We needed the drinks since the high that day was about 39F and it rained and drizzled throughout the game. The Seahawks won over the Chargers on that day so we enjoyed it despite the weather. It is a gorgeous venue.
I'm an Oregon fan but live in Utah. I think these are pretty accurate for the most part. With that being said the loudest stadium award I think belongs to Utah.
Having played at half of these stadiums, (I was a walk-on, turned starting D-Tackle for Utah, Clint Shepard #46 2014) I can confidently say putting Colorado at #2 beyond laughable and a complete joke. It belongs at #10 at best. And Stanfords stadium also belongs right in the same rank as Colorado. Maybe the perspective from down on the field is different than up in the stands, but Colorado's Stadium felt like a dull, old stadium that should belong alongside Utah States stadium, where my brother played. Also with Stanford, I was actually excited to play there, but it also was a huge let down that just felt like a rickety old dump of a stadium. I also may have some bias because Stanfords guest locker room was worse than my high schools locker room. And last thing, you guys are all correct. I tell people all the time, Rice Eccles is the loudest place I've ever played in. In fact, that year I got to play at my dream school throughout my whole life, Michigan. They have the largest stadium in America and 3rd largest in the world. There was 106,000 people at our game, and no lie whatsoever, Eccles was so much louder!! Only other stadium that may have been louder than Rice Eccles was a Tennessee Vols game that i got to go to when i was 17 maybe. That place can get LOUD!
Utah fan here. Only been to 1 game this year, last week vs Arizona. Absolutely shredded my vocal chords, couldn't speak for about 3 days. Gotta do my part to help keep Rice-Eccles the loudest! 🗣
Fantastic! Having been to several of these, I agree with where you’ve placed many of these. Husky Stadium is one of my absolute favorite stadiums in the country
UW Husky grad here. Martin Stadium should be much higher on this list. You can walk to class and look down into it on the way there. Great looking stadium right in the middle of campus. It feels like it's part of the campus.
Dude, the LA Coliseum also has an Olympic cauldron at the top of the Peristyle since it was originally built for the Olympics. You literally showed it right after saying Utah is the only stadium with one. 😂 🤣 😂
It really is a shame that USC and UCLA are moving to the BIG10 because a) it doesn't make sense for California teams to be in the BIG10, and b) the PAC12 has such a unique history and group of schools. I hope it can survive without those schools but I doubt it tbh.
been to both cal and stanford home games! the stadiums are nice, but unless they are playing a big name opponent the crowd atomsphere isn't great and feels dead
Five of the PAC-12 (soon to be 10) stadiums have hosted NFL franchises and/or Super Bowls at some point in their history: Sun Devil Stadium (Arizona State; first home of the Phoenix, then Arizona, Cardinals before they moved to Glendale; also where Super Bowl 30 was played); the LA Memorial Coliseum (USC; previous home of the Rams - twice - and Raiders - in between their Oakland stints, and Super Bowls 1 and 7); Husky Stadium (Washington; the Seattle Seahawks played there in 2000-2001 before they moved into Lumen Field and for a few games early in the 1994 season while the Kingdome was being repaired); Stanford Stadium (Stanford; hosted Super Bowl 19 in 1985 and a 49ers regular season game after the 1989 San Francisco earthquake damaged Candlestick Park); and the Rose Bowl (UCLA; hosted five Super Bowls - 11, 14, 17, 21 and 27).
In 1973 California Memorial Stadium hosted the Oakland Raiders vs the Miami Dolphins. Oakland won 12-7 ending Miami's 18 game win streak. Most incredible view of any stadium in America.
@@jamesfields2916 At first, I thought it might have been moved because of the A's, but apparently, the A's were playing in Old Comiskey Park that day. But, perhaps they moved the game to Berkeley because of a larger than anticipated crowd for that game. I couldn't track down that figure, however.
Side note: Oregon State is right on the Cascade mountains, which are volcanic. They also have an excellent department of geology ("College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences") where you can study them.
Even though I hate the UDub (Ted Bundy was a Husky) (#ScoDucks), I will grant that Husky Stadium is easily the best in the conference. Loud fans, great location, and that view over the water looking out to the mountains? Wow. It really is stunning.
As a husky fan, I appreciate a Duck that can look past the hatred we have for each other and admire the stadium, also I think Autzen stadium. Is the hardest stadium to play in in the pac-12.
UPDATE: As it turns out, USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington have decided to join the Big 10 conference. Furthermore, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, and Colorado have decided to join the Big 12 conference.
"and it's not like the other venues don't have their fair share of history as well." If you don't want to look at history, fine, but there's no way you can even begin to compare the history of the Rose Bowl to any other PAC-12 stadium, or any college football stadium in the country for that matter. The Coliseum is almost the only one that might come close, and I'd still argue the Rose Bowl is far ahead of it, in terms of college football. Some of the most iconic football games of all time were played at the Rose Bowl. Even most of USC's most iconic games were played there. The other stadiums do not have "their fair share of history" when compared to the Rose Bowl.
I grew up as a historian so there can be no finer stadium in the world than LA Memorial Coliseum. No other stadium in the world has hosted soon 3 Olympic games, Superbowls, World Series, and as of last year NASCAR
The Rose Bowl and LA Coliseum should've been ranked higher. True, they don't have the pizzazz of their Pac 12 counterparts, but their history, iconic status (Coliseum) and surrounding beauty (Rose Bowl) make up for it.
The Rose Bowl is iconic as a bowl stadium, but not as a PAC-12 stadium. Almost all of its history comes from the packed houses on January 1st rather than anything it’s regular tenant has done over the past four decades.
@@adambruins the Rose Bowl itself is a total dump. It’s the mystique of the specific game in that setting on New Years Day that makes it special. And UCLA doesn’t have that mystique.
I remember when Reser resembled a high school stadium. Autzen is currently nearly twice the size it was back then. Amazing to see how these places have evolved over the years.
I have to say ranking the coliseum 4th and not mentioning it's Olympic torch that's lights up in 4th quarter. Then not mention that it kept the original seats but to lay the retired numbers of former trojins is kinda sad but I accept it for the higher ranks do have great sites outside the stadiums.
Love Autzen Stadium. I'd like to visit the Swamp too to see how that compares because Autzen is by far the loudest stadium I've been too and I'm comparing to NFL stadiums I've been to as well.
Shame on you for putting Martin Stadium last! It puts fans closer to the field than any of the others. Yes, it's small, but most fans have at least a 12 hour round trip to drive there and there aren't a lot of hotels nearby. There is not a bad seat in the house and WSU has one of the largest student seat percentages in the country. It's a gem located in the heart of campus.
How the hell could you get Autzen rated above the LA Coli? How much did uncle Phil pay you to do this? We have infinite history and a fresh remodel and still only #4????
Ask the players which stadium is the most exciting to play in, and they won't tell you it's Husky Stadium or Folsom Field, they'll say Autzen Stadium with no hesitation.
@@whatlol_e been on the infield doing photography at the 'Shoe and as a fan in this he Big House, no natural backdrops to be had in the Midwest. the press box at Northwestern overlooks the campus and Lake Michigan. BEST stadiums are without a doubt in the NW, SW, the Rockies and Appalachia ;-)
The hill that Autzen Stadium is built into is natural. The stadium was built by basically hollowing out an isolated hill, and making the bowl where the fields located.
Had to turn this off when the commentator said Utah was the only stadium with an Olympic torch. 🤦♀️ SC has an entire ceremony during each home game that is dedicated to the lighting of the Olympic torch. 🧐
I don't disagree with you too much but you mention the Olympic cauldron in Utah but forget the Olympic cauldron in LA? The Colesium hosted two Summer Olympics after all.
North Korea actually has the largest stadium in the world--Kim Il Sung stadium. It's where they hold the Mass Games, which are not games, it is a pageant portraying the history of North Korea since 1905. They do hold soccer tournaments there--the North Korean soccer team actually beat Italy in the 1966 World Cup held in London, and had a 2-0 lead on Brazil before losing 5-3. Here is a video of the first time a South Korean leader addressed the North Korean people, from 2018: ruclips.net/video/NXyQSvbKGIM/видео.html Oh, and Go Huskies!
You can rank WSU's stadium last and your still always welcome to Pullman. Its a small town and the stadium is the perfect size for the school and City. Keep in mind WSU has one of the best College football teams and is one of the most successful in recent history. We should finish in the top 6 of the Pac 12 and will win or get second in the Pac 12 for the next 20 years. Also Pullmans stadium will be ranked second in the Pac 12 next year so we do not mind being last this year. There is a lot of money in the Pac 12 and rumor has it that it will be split by all the remaining teams after this year.
Damn. WSU alum and a Pullman resident. You did me dirty. If you wanna come see a game here let me know, you can stay at my place. The stadium isn't as impressive as some but it's built into the campus and Cougs go hard! And look... You gave the Huskies #1. Great view but.... Unforgivable! Go Cougs. Ducks suck, Huck the Fuskies.
Stanford Stadium is quite nice and modern. I would rank it right up there behind the Rose Bowl. It's too bad the fans in the area don't like college football.
Having been to most of these, they are all pretty great, but Sco Ducks Autzen is the best because of all the facilities near and the walk over the bridge. I would put the Rose Bowl over the Coliseum. One because its usually a little cooler in Pasadena than LA proper. Two the Rose Bowl has a great view of the mountains near the stadium. Three you get to tailgate ona golf course though USC is also great cause its a wet campus so thats tie too. But Oregon is the best, huck the fuskies.
@@ssmrgrim only reason I said it's overrated is because I've been there. New Year's day 2014 Stanford vs. Michigan State. I didn't cheer for either school but a buddy of mine scored tickets. It was on my bucket list of stadiums to visit and the game was great but as the stadium itself.. I left very disappointed.
@@MinkJu I'm more a fan of the coliseum pre-renovation, and I actually really like the trojans. Still an FSU fan first and foremost, but USC is up there.
Depends on the year and the opponent. When the Huskies were REALLY good, there really is no louder stadium. But with the exception of 2016, the Huskies have not been really good for 2 decades.
Which further proves my point!!! They've had nothing to get loud for!!! The ducks on the other hand, have had plenty to cheer for during that same time frame. Multiple Pac-12 championships, two national championship appearances and a Heisman trophy winner. Chris Petersen's sudden resignation was a huge blow they've yet to recover from as he had them on the threshold of returning the huskies to former glory. Something us duck fans thank him for in our prayers every night!!!
Totally subjective....Depending upon how well both teams are doing.....If UW is having a great season, they are way louder than Autzen, by ergonomics, & amount of fans attending.....Autzen is loud for sure....Looking forward to our showdown in a few weeks.....Should be a genuine shootout! Go Huskies!!! Woof!!!
Yeah no sh-t I’m a Utah fan but I can’t believe he didn’t have any clue about the Coliseum and he didn’t know Utah is the 2 highest thin air in the pac
You have the date for Stanford Stadium as 1921. Is that correct? It was definitely renovated recently, but perhaps it is on the same site, so maybe the date stands. (I think the renovation was extensive, though, perhaps a complete tear-down. Does anyone out there know?
Yes, the renovation was actually a tear down and rebuild. The columns behind one end zone are left from the original much larger stadium as a reminder/homage. I forget the year or renovation. But the original stadium in 1921 was like 60,000 and then they kept adding on to about 88,000 official capacity. It had a track around the field, which put seats way far away. I remember in 1970 Stanford hosted USC and the announced crowd was like 92,000 but when I look at the Stanford website they don't seem to recognize that as their largest home crowd. Current capacity is like 44,000.
Stanford Stadium is my least favorite if anything because it feels uninspired, and boring as hell with surprisingly bad sight lines. Not to mention crap gameday atmosphere because they have like no fans. It feels very plastic and fake with no real soul like all the others. Berkeley's has the best views as you can see the whole Bay Area and a hill you can watch games from for free (as does Sun Devil stadium kinda almost) the LA stadiums have terribly shallow sightlines so if anyone is standing up in front of you it's hard to see anything, but they do feel historic. Martin stadium is small but mighty... fans there are absolutely mental as with the rest of the PNW unis. Autzen is a great stadium but UofO is more like an athletics dept that dabbles in tertiary education and it shows... it had a lot more soul 15-20 years ago.
And they have added a few new members in recent years, mostly D2 move-ups and former Southland Conference teams, but there's an interesting variety in both leagues.
@@CreightonRabs yeah my team is SFA, one of those Southland conference moves and I’ve been waiting to see them on here for forever now haha. Then you have Lamar and I think Incarnate Word going back to Southland already which is weird. Makes me wonder if it’s become dysfunctional or something behind the scenes.
7:04 that is false. Autzen is the loudest stadium in the conference. Because we are the house of loud ranked at the top 15 loudest stadiums in the country.

As a husky fan, I appreciate a Duck that can look past the hatred we have for each other and admire the stadium, also I think Autzen stadium. Is the hardest stadium to play in in the pac-12.
@@rileyanderson9287 Lets keep the Husky Duck admiration going...........uhh forget it.....UW is 6-20 since 1994. Go Ducks
@@aaronaigner3481 You're right, screw it. Thanks for the reminder. Lol Go huskies
@@rileyanderson9287 2008 Huskies....My all time favorite football team.
@@aaronaigner3481 my favorite huskies teams are either 1960 or 1991 when we WON the national championship those years.
UPDATE: As it turns out, USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington have decided to join the Big 10 conference. Furthermore, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, and Colorado have decided to join the Big 12 conference.
And Stanford and Cal going to the ACC.
The Southside of Arizona stadium also contains student dorms. And Low Angeles memorial colosseum has hosted the Olympics in the thirties and eighties.
And the LA Coliseum is set to host the 2028 Summer Olympics (unless they move the events to SoFi).
"and it's not like the other venues don't have their fair share of history as well." If you don't want to look at history, fine, but there's no way you can even begin to compare the history of the Rose Bowl to any other PAC-12 stadium, or any college football stadium in the country for that matter. The Coliseum is almost the only one that might come close, and I'd still argue the Rose Bowl is far ahead of it, in terms of college football. Some of the most iconic football games of all time were played at the Rose Bowl. Even most of USC's most iconic games were played there. The other stadiums do not have "their fair share of history" when compared to the Rose Bowl.
Here’s hoping you do the stadiums of the WAC conference.
I think he forgot the WAC and A-Sun.
Deion about to turn pac12 🔝
I grew up as a historian so there can be no finer stadium in the world than LA Memorial Coliseum. No other stadium in the world has hosted soon 3 Olympic games, Superbowls, World Series, and as of last year NASCAR
That's why it's not on the list for Pac 12 stadiums
The greatest setting in College Football....The University of Washington Husky Stadium!!! Hands down....It's not even close!!!
Husky stadium has to be number one in the nation.
@am human the scenery and views are unmatched
I dunno, Wyoming looks pretty RAD🤠
Autzen is better in my opinion
ASU was up to 74,865 seats, but now it’s only 53,599 :(
Oregon’s Autzen Stadium is named for an Oregon State grad (the field is too) and built on top of a landfill.
The Rose Bowl and LA Coliseum should've been ranked higher. True, they don't have the pizzazz of their Pac 12 counterparts, but their history, iconic status (Coliseum) and surrounding beauty (Rose Bowl) make up for it.
The Rose Bowl is iconic as a bowl stadium, but not as a PAC-12 stadium. Almost all of its history comes from the packed houses on January 1st rather than anything it’s regular tenant has done over the past four decades.
@@54raynor this video was about stadiums buddy not the home team lol. Rose bowl is easily number one
@@adambruins the Rose Bowl itself is a total dump. It’s the mystique of the specific game in that setting on New Years Day that makes it special. And UCLA doesn’t have that mystique.
LA Col is terrible for football, would have ranked it at 10
Reser will be sick after the renovations are done. Long overdue, the old grandstand looked so out of place
I remember when Reser resembled a high school stadium. Autzen is currently nearly twice the size it was back then. Amazing to see how these places have evolved over the years.
@@zacklogameing Oh dang, you saw it back in the 50s and 60s then?
I have to say ranking the coliseum 4th and not mentioning it's Olympic torch that's lights up in 4th quarter. Then not mention that it kept the original seats but to lay the retired numbers of former trojins is kinda sad but I accept it for the higher ranks do have great sites outside the stadiums.
Love Autzen Stadium. I'd like to visit the Swamp too to see how that compares because Autzen is by far the loudest stadium I've been too and I'm comparing to NFL stadiums I've been to as well.
Shame on you for putting Martin Stadium last! It puts fans closer to the field than any of the others. Yes, it's small, but most fans have at least a 12 hour round trip to drive there and there aren't a lot of hotels nearby. There is not a bad seat in the house and WSU has one of the largest student seat percentages in the country. It's a gem located in the heart of campus.
Don't worry about being banned from Pullman. You're not missing much here
How the hell could you get Autzen rated above the LA Coli? How much did uncle Phil pay you to do this? We have infinite history and a fresh remodel and still only #4????
Do your homework. The Coliseum has hosted 2 Olympics, and that giant torch is the focal point of the stadium.
Ask the players which stadium is the most exciting to play in, and they won't tell you it's Husky Stadium or Folsom Field, they'll say Autzen Stadium with no hesitation.
THAT'S why it's on my Top 🎱 to visit along with Wyoming for the elevation and backdrop🤠
I think it has more to do with the surrounding environment. Washington and Colorado have the most beautiful views.
@bryndrson if we are going by views, penn state Michigan Ohio state Florida Georgia lsu tamu Oklahoma Texas Nebraska Wisconsin and v tech all suck
@@whatlol_e been on the infield doing photography at the 'Shoe and as a fan in this he Big House, no natural backdrops to be had in the Midwest. the press box at Northwestern overlooks the campus and Lake Michigan. BEST stadiums are without a doubt in the NW, SW, the Rockies and Appalachia ;-)
google maps and earth images of Eugene Oregon is 3-5 years outdated, the east scoreboard area at Autzen was redone within the past 2 years
Can you please do the Big 10 next! 3 of the largest stadiums in the world are Big 10 stadiums!!!
As a UCLA season ticket holder I can tell you that the rose bowl is way too high on this list.
I think the Rose Bowl and, Sun Devil Stadium should be higher on the list.
Thank you
Do Mountain West football stadium next please!
The hill that Autzen Stadium is built into is natural. The stadium was built by basically hollowing out an isolated hill, and making the bowl where the fields located.
No it wasn't
He forgot to mention that Rice Eccles Stadium is right in front of a Cemetery And ive been there before twice
I want to go to an Oregon game, a Washington game, a USC game, and when the stadium is finished I'll go to an Oregon state game.
You won’t be disappointed in autzen. There are no bad views, you can see the field clearly everywhere.
I'm a WSU cougar. It's ok if you bash Martin Stadium. It's not that great. Although Pullman is the best college town in the PAC-12.
It actually never rains in Autzen
Had to turn this off when the commentator said Utah was the only stadium with an Olympic torch. 🤦♀️ SC has an entire ceremony during each home game that is dedicated to the lighting of the Olympic torch. 🧐
I PLAYED IN 4 OF THESE STADIUMS. 👑💯
I've watched games in 5 of them.
Waiting for more college basketball arenas
Arizona stadium also has a telescope 🔭 under the field.
UCLA and USC also need to be included in the Big 10. They will be in Big 10 before Texas and Oklahoma join SEC
Texas and Oklahoma join the SEC next season
@@davidgarrett6951 incorrect, they join the SEC on July 1st, 2025
I don't disagree with you too much but you mention the Olympic cauldron in Utah but forget the Olympic cauldron in LA? The Colesium hosted two Summer Olympics after all.
North Korea actually has the largest stadium in the world--Kim Il Sung stadium. It's where they hold the Mass Games, which are not games, it is a pageant portraying the history of North Korea since 1905. They do hold soccer tournaments there--the North Korean soccer team actually beat Italy in the 1966 World Cup held in London, and had a 2-0 lead on Brazil before losing 5-3. Here is a video of the first time a South Korean leader addressed the North Korean people, from 2018: ruclips.net/video/NXyQSvbKGIM/видео.html Oh, and Go Huskies!
Uw stadium also has a metro line just a minute walk from the entrance.
You can rank WSU's stadium last and your still always welcome to Pullman. Its a small town and the stadium is the perfect size for the school and City. Keep in mind WSU has one of the best College football teams and is one of the most successful in recent history. We should finish in the top 6 of the Pac 12 and will win or get second in the Pac 12 for the next 20 years. Also Pullmans stadium will be ranked second in the Pac 12 next year so we do not mind being last this year. There is a lot of money in the Pac 12 and rumor has it that it will be split by all the remaining teams after this year.
Damn. WSU alum and a Pullman resident. You did me dirty. If you wanna come see a game here let me know, you can stay at my place. The stadium isn't as impressive as some but it's built into the campus and Cougs go hard!
And look... You gave the Huskies #1. Great view but.... Unforgivable!
Go Cougs. Ducks suck, Huck the Fuskies.
Stanford Stadium is quite nice and modern. I would rank it right up there behind the Rose Bowl. It's too bad the fans in the area don't like college football.
Trust me. You won't be missing out if you never go to Pullman.
Having been to most of these, they are all pretty great, but Sco Ducks Autzen is the best because of all the facilities near and the walk over the bridge. I would put the Rose Bowl over the Coliseum. One because its usually a little cooler in Pasadena than LA proper. Two the Rose Bowl has a great view of the mountains near the stadium. Three you get to tailgate ona golf course though USC is also great cause its a wet campus so thats tie too. But Oregon is the best, huck the fuskies.
You obviously haven’t attended a game at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley.
Husky Stadium is also my #1. The Rose Bowl is massively overrated.
I agree that Husky Stadium is number 1. As for the Rose Bowl? As a UCLA/Pac-12 venue it's average. For the Rose Bowl Game, not overrated at all
@@ssmrgrim only reason I said it's overrated is because I've been there. New Year's day 2014 Stanford vs. Michigan State. I didn't cheer for either school but a buddy of mine scored tickets. It was on my bucket list of stadiums to visit and the game was great but as the stadium itself.. I left very disappointed.
The rose bowl is ass
@@MinkJu I'm more a fan of the coliseum pre-renovation, and I actually really like the trojans. Still an FSU fan first and foremost, but USC is up there.
The greatest venue in college Football -Husky Stadium Nothing compres
Wyoming looks RAD AF, the elevation and backdrop 🤠
Stanford stadium hosted a Super Bowl that should count for something
No way is husky stadium louder than Autzen stadium. I've been to both not even close!!!
Depends on the year and the opponent. When the Huskies were REALLY good, there really is no louder stadium. But with the exception of 2016, the Huskies have not been really good for 2 decades.
Look at the record books
Which further proves my point!!! They've had nothing to get loud for!!! The ducks on the other hand, have had plenty to cheer for during that same time frame. Multiple Pac-12 championships, two national championship appearances and a Heisman trophy winner. Chris Petersen's sudden resignation was a huge blow they've yet to recover from as he had them on the threshold of returning the huskies to former glory. Something us duck fans thank him for in our prayers every night!!!
Totally subjective....Depending upon how well both teams are doing.....If UW is having a great season, they are way louder than Autzen, by ergonomics, & amount of fans attending.....Autzen is loud for sure....Looking forward to our showdown in a few weeks.....Should be a genuine shootout! Go Huskies!!! Woof!!!
@@gabrielfavorel4313 again Husky Stadium has the record.
No need for a bigger roof, because it never rains at Autzen Stadium.
Forgot to mention that It Never Rains At Autzen Stadium!
My only gripe is calling the Washington stadium the loudest, autzen stadium has been the loudest for a very long time
I think it's in reference to a 1992 game at Husky stadium which was potentially the loudest football game ever played at 123.6 decibels
Husky Stadium is the best. I’m biased mostly because I’m a UW Grad.
Sorry about that......
Please do Mountain west Basketball arenas
It's too bad they'll be losing 2 teams to another conference next year. I wonder who will replace them?
Imagine putting Stanford Stadium above Memorial Stadium 😂 Can tell you've never been
Please do the current Sun Belt football stadiums because James Madison joined the Sun Belt Conference
Please make a video of all the cricket stadiums in india both domestic and international.
Husky stadium sucks...period. they have a view big deal. they have to put a roof over most of it because it rains sideways 90% of the season.
Yeah no sh-t I’m a Utah fan but I can’t believe he didn’t have any clue about the Coliseum and he didn’t know Utah is the 2 highest thin air in the pac
Do ACC next!
You have the date for Stanford Stadium as 1921. Is that correct? It was definitely renovated recently, but perhaps it is on the same site, so maybe the date stands. (I think the renovation was extensive, though, perhaps a complete tear-down. Does anyone out there know?
Yes, the renovation was actually a tear down and rebuild. The columns behind one end zone are left from the original much larger stadium as a reminder/homage. I forget the year or renovation. But the original stadium in 1921 was like 60,000 and then they kept adding on to about 88,000 official capacity. It had a track around the field, which put seats way far away. I remember in 1970 Stanford hosted USC and the announced crowd was like 92,000 but when I look at the Stanford website they don't seem to recognize that as their largest home crowd. Current capacity is like 44,000.
It was rebuilt entirely in 2006.
Chuckling at husky stadium being the loudest. Not even close.
Other than having the decibel record set in 92? Dukk education for ya....
Stanford Stadium is my least favorite if anything because it feels uninspired, and boring as hell with surprisingly bad sight lines. Not to mention crap gameday atmosphere because they have like no fans. It feels very plastic and fake with no real soul like all the others.
Berkeley's has the best views as you can see the whole Bay Area and a hill you can watch games from for free (as does Sun Devil stadium kinda almost) the LA stadiums have terribly shallow sightlines so if anyone is standing up in front of you it's hard to see anything, but they do feel historic. Martin stadium is small but mighty... fans there are absolutely mental as with the rest of the PNW unis. Autzen is a great stadium but UofO is more like an athletics dept that dabbles in tertiary education and it shows... it had a lot more soul 15-20 years ago.
Reser stadium is also near volcanoes.
Please do the WAC-ASUN of the FCS because those weren’t done for just showing them before.
And they have added a few new members in recent years, mostly D2 move-ups and former Southland Conference teams, but there's an interesting variety in both leagues.
@@CreightonRabs yeah my team is SFA, one of those Southland conference moves and I’ve been waiting to see them on here for forever now haha. Then you have Lamar and I think Incarnate Word going back to Southland already which is weird. Makes me wonder if it’s become dysfunctional or something behind the scenes.
How about doing American Hockey League arenas
7:04 that is false. Autzen is the loudest stadium in the conference. Because we are the house of loud ranked at the top 15 loudest stadiums in the country.
Need to do BIg Sky football, living in Seattle yeah UW is great!!
buddy husky stadium is the 2nd loudest behind Autzen, also Autzen doesn’t need a room because it never rains in Autzen
