      This is a Penn State University game (one of the schools on this video) they have a home game every year, usually against one of the biggest rivals, that they dub the "white out". Without the broadcaster commentary in this video, you can really hear how electric the atmosphere is. (For context this is a school located in a town called "state college" because its literally what the whole town is built around.)

    Nobody has mentioned it yet so I will. These games are usually all day events. We tailgate before the games, which basicly means drinking, cooking and eating food, drinking, playing some lawn/drinking games, catch up with old friends, make new friends, and more drinking. The earliest games start at 11:00 AM, when I was in college we called this the "Eggs and Kegs" tailgates, which started at 6:00 AM. You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

      @@jonograhamreacts Yes! Even though this is accurate, that it's the greater "community" of the given university that brings the fans together, it is also a purposefully open party, including the game. Except while the game is played, then there are clear lines of demarcation. Example: I live in Iowa City, where the University of Iowa is located. We have rivalries every year, and among them, are the University of Wisconsin and the University of Nebraska. When these opposing fans come here, most know how to be good guests and there are many relationship ties, because the states border each other, so we have bunch of Badgers and Cornhuskers come into our tailgate area and do shots with us. This town is literally turned black and gold and sprinkled in the sea of black and gold will be bright red and white colors that obviously stand out.
      My point is, although the game is important, it's the coming together of the community and the sharing of the day that keeps people gettinig up at 3:00 AM on game day and driving 2-3 hours to set up in shitty weather for a game that may or may not be exciting or even good. Even teams with losing records in the Big Ten (and SEC) go into every game day ready to rock and roll, at least until kickoff. Whereever you decide to partake in a college game-day experience, you are going to be welcome and some sort of beverage will be pushed into your hand at every tailgate.

    The reason college football became so large in the US is the size of the country. In many places, especially in the West of the US, the distances between major cities with NFL teams was too large. Most people lived in areas where they simply couldn't make an easy day trip to a major professional ball stadium. But we still love our sports, and every area has a major college or university nearby. So out West, college sports became more popular attendance-wise than pro games, simply because you could make a trip to your local college and back without having to waste vacation time off work or the expense of long-distance travel and lodgings.
    Over time, the colleges saw the numbers and had to build larger and larger stadiums to handle the fans, and US College Football took its place alongside professional football for having major crowd followings and needing superstar stadiums.
    And here we are today.

The reason they can do this and so many other teams have gotten flack for this is because FSU pays them for the licensing of their tribe.

    No matter what game you end up going to, make it a point to figure out where the student section of the stadium is, and get a seat as close to that as possible. That is ALWAYS the rowdiest part of the crowd at any college stadium.
    I am biased (Big 10 country here), but I highly recommend a game at one of these 4 stadiums:
    Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa, and Penn State
    There are other great atmospheres, to be sure, but these are some of the most awesome ones in the country. Ohio State and Michigan are always over 100k fans. Penn State's "Whiteout" game is a sight to behold on TV, so I can just imagine what it's like in person. And Iowa has, by far, the coolest (and most recently developed) tradition in the entirety of college football...

    Thank You for sharing the video. I enjoyed the football as always but your reaction as well. I prefer college football to professional football. College spirit is huge in the US. I am from the midwest, about 1.5 hours from Chicago. I live in Milwaukee Wisconsin which is known for its beer. So much goes into a day of football. I see it already mentioned the tailgating which shows the spirit held. I live right behind the Milwaukee Brewers (baseball). The Brewers are so loved that even if the game that day is not held here they still tailgate just to listen to the game and party together, cooking out, drining beer and being together. I just wanted to say i have been to Africia twice and loved it (Mambasa, Kenya)

    everyone from overseas always thinks that they want to go to a college football game but the common thread for all of these stadiums is that theyre in the middle of nowhere. clemson sc, state collge pa, ann arbor mi, etc. people travel from a days drive away because theres seldom a decent airport nearby. you have to dedicate an entire weekend to the logistics of going to a game and the cost is immense. the big cities that international tourists want to travel to (new york, la, miami) tend to have less support for their local college teams and less real estate for a giant college stadium.

    Rivalry games in college have a whole other breed of competitiveness that some say exceeds the pro league/NFL. The marching band and student section give it a more raw and real emotion versus a bunch of adults sipping $15 beers as a social event lol. I’ve been to a Michigan/Michigan State rivalry game and it’s ELECTRIC. Now if one team stinks, it may hurt attendance. Nobody likes a blowout unless it’s your team dominating. But most of those games are the “gotta see” ones.

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned it because 457 comments is a lot to read through but the Penn State White Out game is typically the premier game of the season for Penn State. Usually saved for the game against Ohio State, Michigan, or Michigan State depending on which team they play at home that season and it's only one for one game.

    We are Philadelphia Eagles season ticket holders meaning we have the rights to the same two seats in the stadium for every game every year as long as we own them. Unfortunately, we haven't been to a game in 4 years because we relocated across the country and Covid and some professional responsibilities got in our way from making it to any home games, but we hope to go next year. These are NFL (National Football League) games which are not affiliated with college football. But the games are unreal and we love them. We even have the blue angels do a fly over at the start of some of our games. Can't wait to get back into our routine of attending several games a year.

    The best college football venue for the perfect atmosphere is the Red River Rivalry: Oklahoma versus Texas. Always at the Texas State Fair in Dallas Texas , while the state fair is going on (your ticket gets you in the fair and the game). Played at the Cotton Bowl.

Think about that!! I saw Notre Dame win the National Championship in 1989 which is something I’ll never forget.
