So, just to clarify this isn’t the ten biggest stadiums, but the stadiums of the Big 10 conference which has 14 teams. The schools are divided into conferences by region and i believe it’s 126 teams in division 1
It was 126 FBS teams 11 years ago. Update to 2024 as there are 134 FBS schools as of now. There are even more as D-1 football is broken up to FBS and FCS divisions. FCS has 129 schools on top of the 134 for a total of 263 D-1 schools.
Yes, Iowa is the stadium that has the Children's Hospital nearby. Note as well that many of these stadiums are 60-100 years old. College football has a long standing popularity in America. Just as college football is the minor leagues for the NFL, high school football (which is also big in America) is the minor leagues for CFB. The recruiting areas are then seating for prospective HS recruits.
The Big Ten is the oldest major conference in college sports. It was founded in 1896 and was originally made up of the biggest schools in the Great Lakes region. It's had relatively few changes in it's time compared to other conferences. Ohio State joined in 1912, Chicago left around WW2, Michigan State joined shortly after. Penn State joined in the 90s, and Nebraska, Maryland, and Rutgers all came in the early 2010s. This coming season they're adding UCLA, USC, Oregon, and Washington from the west coast.
@@0fficialdregs Michigan left the conference in 1908 over new conference rule changes (including limiting teams to five games and not allowing coaches to be paid) and rejoined in 1917 when those rules were scrapped.
6:01 fun fact: Kinnick stadium hosted a Wrestling Meet. During Wrestling season a few years ago, Iowa had one of their home meets on the football field.
10:09 My mom & brother go to one Husker game per season, & frequently they're in “nosebleed” seats. Even though they can't see the game live that well, it's not THAT bad, since the stadium has a MASSIVE video screen that immediately replays every play of the game.
5:08 hes talking about the 14 teams in that specific conference. The Ncaa has 10 conferences in Division1 FBS There are videos on all the FBS college conferences. Conferences have divisions but only regional two per conference. Each division has their own conferences D1fbs D1Fcs D2 D3 D1 FBS is American Athletic conference Atlantic coast conference Big 10 Big 12 Conference USA Independents Mid Atlantic conference Mountain West conference Pac12 South Eastern conference Sunbelt He also did videos on the Fcs conferences as well.
The Parking at Camp Randle Stadium is a result of the Stadium being originally built in 1917, and its being surrounded by the city of Madison - so on game day you can either park further out and walk/ride a bus to the stadium, or - a lot of the folks around the stadium will allow people to park in their driveways or on their lawns- for a fee. The closer to the stadium, the more they'll charge. But since you are just off of downtown, there are a significant number of public parking structures within about a mile and a half of the stadium (2-3 km).
15:07 Ryan Field has since been demolished. They’re going to build a new stadium on the same site. Meanwhile they’re playing their home games at a temporary stadium on campus for two years.
@timhefty504 they're playing at the soccer field on the lakefront. They added seats, but seeing as they have the lowest attendance in the conference and they are having to rebuild from the scandal, it's not a bad time to play with limited capacity right now
Recruiting lounge is where the team will host the recruits they bring in (these are high school kids who the school and team are trying to get to come to the school).
This is the Big Ten conference -- One of the top four conferences in the top tier of American college football. There were 14 teams at the time of this video but will be adding four more teams before the start of the next season.
The second stadium. "That building" (Roman). is called the "Field House" and is the former basketball stadium. Lot's of history so they kept it after building new arena...

@18:11 that dark building with a grey top in the distance behind the Minnesota college stadium is the home of the NFL team Minneapolis Vikings who shared the College stadium in the 2010s when the NFL team was constructing their new stadium.
These are the stadiums of the teams in the Big 10 Conference. There are a number of conferences in the US including the Southeastern, Big 12, Atlantic Coast, etc. There has been a Pacific 12 for many years but during the last year it sort of imploded and most of the teams moved to other conferences so there are only 2 teams left in it as of now. ps. Many of these state universities are in relatively small, rural towns, so some of them become the largest city in whatever state on game day.
This is an old video, Ross-Ade at Purdue has been renovated (again) after 100 years and capacity is higher, even as it is lower than the seating in the 1970s and 1980s. Purdue is the founding school of the conference, organized by then Purdue president Smart. Many college football related traditions are tied to the BIG Ten, such as Purdue being the first marching band in the country to break ranks and create formations on the field. More recently added conference school Rutgers is where the first ever college game was played.
Illini" as in "The Fighting Illini" is pronounced ill-eye-nye. It's derived from the name of the native people for which the state of Illinois is named.
As already mentioned, University stadiums are in small towns sometimes. Omaha Nebraska is the largest city in Nebraska at 480,000. Lincoln is the 2nd largest and capital of Nebraska and home of the University of Nebraska and has 293,000 residents. So yeah the stadium becomes the 3rd largest town. on game days
The car parks are a few miles away. This is in a neighborhood with houses.... Park in the street.Walk 30 minutes. Shit ton of tailgating (beer, food, beer, beer, bourbon, beer, brats, burgers, beer, babes, beer...) Did I mention beer?
i can see how it would be confusing but the title is referring to the teams in the big 10 conference. each conference more or less represents a region of the country and together form all of the highest level of college sports.
In regards to Spartan Stadium holding more than the city population it's true. East Lansing has a population of about 46k (not including students) lol on gameday East Lansing becomes one of the most populous cities in the state usually drawing close to 200k to the area each game depending on the opponent. The whole state turns out when MSU and Michigan play at either of their stadiums, pure civil war.
Michigan Stadium, Beaver Stadium and Ohio Stadium are the 3rd, 4th and 5th largest in the world. The 14 largest stadiums in the country are college football stadiums; the NFL doesn't make the list until #15.
9:32 most college football stadiums started out like this way back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As the game grew more and more popular, universities would start to expand the stadiums. Often by first building up each side, then often by closing in an end behind one of the end zones/goals. A lot of schools stopped here. Some made more upgrades to the “horseshoe” shaped stadiums. Often adding upper decks or completely rebuilding sections or even entire sides. Other schools chose to continue expanding their stadiums to completely encircle the playing fields. They also will add upper decks of more seating or again replacing whole sections or even entire sides. This is more often than not how some of these college football stadiums became as monstrous as they are. But please remember that most college stadiums use more bleacher seating than individual seating. This allows much larger capacities than NFL pro stadiums as the NFL stadiums use more individual seating which takes up more space. Also, PLEASE react to the College Football Stadiums of the SEC Conference, here on the same channel as the BIG10 stadiums video.
Actually, at Camp Randall, there's a parking ramp under one side of the stadium. However, there's also a LOT of people who end up parking in other places. This stadium is near downtown and there are parking ramps everywhere. There's also people who live near the stadium that will sometimes let you park in their driveway for a few bucks, and there's street side parking in places. It gets pretty crazy on game days if you try to drive in the area. Lots of foot traffic too. The badgers have a VERY devoted fan base. In fact, funny story, back in 1994, when the Badgers went to the Rose Bowl in California... They underestimated how much the Wisconsin fans could drink. We literally drank the stadium dry of beer.
The Big 10 is just one of several college football conferences (divisions). There are 18 (?) Big 10 teams. Other conferences include the PAC-10 (Pacific), SEC (southeastern conference), Atlantic Coast conference, etc. but the Big 10 does have the largest stadiums.
As an American, it is awesome to hear another perspective on these stadiums. Been loving these videos! Check out the Penn state vs Michigan first play of the game if you haven’t. It’s so loud!
It's pronounced ILL-LIE-NIE. American colleges recruit some of their better players from other parts of the country. It can be a vicious game of recruiting between the schools.
You can tell how good a team is/has been by the size and expansions of the stadiums. Those that win expand instead of building new stadiums usually, that is why Ohio State is no longer a horseshoe, to get the capacity they wanted they closed that end. There are 15 college football stadiums with a greater capacity than EVERY NFL stadium
When you first show up to Michigan stadium your perspective of the place is slapped hard when you walk in and see it. It's so huge. It's so fucking big.
There are two divisions in college football. 128 FBS schools/teams. The FBS is like the premier league, the biggest and the best. There are 133 FCS schools/teams. Each division subdivides into conferences. The FBS conferences: Atlantic Coast Conference ACC, American, Big 12, Big Ten, Conference-USA, Independent, Mid-American Conference, Mountain West, Pacific or PAC-12, Southeastern Conference(SEC) and Sun Belt conferences. Arguably, the best conferences are SEC, Big Ten and Big 12. ACC and Pac-12 make a good showing for themselves as well. While these conferences were initially regional, in the last few years teams have been moving conferences. Better conferences usually means better TV deals, more money for the schools, and better recruiting. During football season, multiple games will be played on multiple channels from about 11am east coast to about 11pm west coast. So yeah, 12 to 14 hours of grid-iron goodness. NFL is played on Sundays, 1 game on monday night and sometimes a game on thursday night.
YOU need to check out the SEC - south eastern conference stadiums. Undoubtedly the conference with the best overall stadiums. And my team is not in it but its just obvious. There is a competitive nature between conferences themselves as well !
There are 9 conferences in the top level of Division 1 or FBS - Football Bowl Subdivision . The 10th conference, The PAC- Pacific Coast Conf will dissolve starting this August when football season begins. Because of TV rights, money, teams are jumping to other conf. Each conf is independent with their own Commissioners, tv deals and even refferies umbrellaed under the rules of the NCAA. Years of tradition is gone for treasure in this new trend.. Division 1AA or FCS - football championship Subdivision is the next level of football. Followed by Division 2 and finally D3 ... D1 FBS with 130 teams is 90% of what is seen on tv or talked about. It also produces 90% of NFL players.
Teams play 12 regular season games then the post season begins with conf championship week. They play 8 conf games and 4 non-conf games a year . When non-conf games are played the home team get to use refferies groups from their conf. But this too can be negotiable, $$ .
Every College football team is in a conference. Like Big 10, SEC, Big 12,ACC. They have conference champions and they play each other in a round robin style tournament throughout the year. Then the top 12 (starting this year w 12, used to be 4) teams in all the conferences play in a bracket style playoffs.
LSUs stadium is acoustically almost perfect. On the 50 yd line, you can make out individual voices from the upper deck. It can be quite intimidating to visiting teams.
You were saying something about it being odd that the Michigan State University holding more people than the city it is in. Actually the stadium is located within East Lansing, a city directly adjacent to Lansing, the Capitol of Michigan. The stadium is centrally located within the state making it pretty easy for people to travel to. I live in a town of 10k just south of the Capitol. Rivalry between the U of M and MSU is pretty intense.
Big 10 just went through an expansion and added some more teams for this upcoming season- adding 4 more teams for a current total of 18. Ross Aide stadium just went through an update and Northwestern’s stadium is being torn down and rebuilt.
And along with the other information you got from previous comments. The 14 teams that you're seeing from the Big Ten Conference. Even those 14 aren't put into order of size. So there is no water. He just is doing schools conference by conference.
The "Big Ten" started out with... you guessed it 10 teams, however, it has almost doubled in size due to other conferences closing and joining the Big Ten.
I've been to Ohio Stadium (The Horseshoe/The 'Shoe) twice in my life. If you ever get the chance to go to a Ohio State Buckeyes game, which I definitely recommend, you'll be amazed by the size of the stadium and the noise of the crowd. Also yes, Iowa is the stadium with the Children's Hospital.
Funny he mentioned earthquakes. Check out Cal Memorial Stadium! It’s built right on top of the Hayward fault and the two halves of the stadium have now slipped several feet past each other!
Lived in Iowa City for almost 20 years. My sisters both went to the University of Iowa and my oldest sister married a guy from Iowa. Which they still live in Iowa City. My nephew's middle name is Nile after Nile Kinnick. I loved and still do going up there tailgaiting and watching the games. Yes the University of Iowa Children's hospital overlooks the stadium and the players and crowd stop and wave to the kids during the game.
4:01 The car park is nothing, it's smaller than you would find at a grocery store, I think it's used for staff, it's that small. You can't really have a parking lot when the stadium is in the middle of the city. Giant parking lots (like Penn State) are ugly anyway.
James Beaver was Governor of Pennsylvania and got the legislature to appropriate money so that The Pennsylvania Agricultural College could play football. A Girls Gym is named after his daughter Mary Beaver White.
Watch more of his college football stadiums SEC,ACC,PAC12 and AAC . And check out the MLS(futbol/soccer) CFL (Canadians football) and CPL (Canadian Soccer)
FBS, or the Football Bowl Subdivision, consists of 11 different conferences: the ACC, American, Big 12, Big Ten, C-USA, Independent, MAC, Mountain West, PAC-12, SEC and Sun Belt conferences.
They recently expanded the Big-10 conference to include USC, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon. I think it's 18 now. As others have posted, these are stadiums of this particular conference, not the 10 best in the country. Other conferences include the SEC, Big-12, ACC, Mountain West, WAC, Conference USA, Sun Belt, etc.
There are three basic divisions for college football, with each division having different rules for recruiting football players. The basic rule difference is the number of players the teams can recruit with full (Division 1), partial (2), or none (3) athletic scholarships. So all the best prospective high school football players shop around for the best scholarships and best football coaches. They are all hoping a division 1 school will want them. Conferences were initially organized with 12 or less schools (or teams) so that everyone plays against each other during the 12 to 14 games played each season. With over 100 division 1 schools, there are around 10-12 conferences. Recently the number of schools in conferences have increased, so many conferences are dying as their teams join better conferences.
Lol! the big 10 is a conference. Their are many college football conferences. Big 10, ACC, SEC, PAC 12, Big East, WAC among many others. These are usually referred to as the power conferences as they are some of the most top tier and competitive conference nationally. There are some conferences that are a somewhat separate from those but can also crack national rankings though they are usually outliers when they do compete against those power conferences. Ivy League schools like Harvard and Princeton. HBCU’s (historically black college universities) such as Morehouse, Hampton and Grambling university also have their own conference. Collegiate Sports is a massive deal in North America. Whereas major cities have more professional sports support, colleges are everywhere including more rural areas and tier 2 cities with smaller metropolitan areas. But generations upon generations of alumni are why you see massive support at these games.
The level of play at college is very high. Most of the guys have been scouted and recruited since H.S. with a resume of playing the game for 10 years often. They commit to play for a college after being recruited and usually offered scholarships worth alot of money to play, pluss now other endorsements. The facilities to train and resources available to them is ridiculous. A small fraction will make it to the NFL. If you make a college football or basketball team. That's impressive ! Shit , alot of kids never make the team in H.S.
The big 10 has 14 teams as of the making of that video. There are currently 10 D1-FBS Conferences, but will likely be 9 soon since the PAC-12 is losing members. Overall there are around 130 teams in D1-FBS. He mispronounced Illini (uh LIE ni). It's a reference to a Illiniwek a Native American tribe that lived in that area. The one that was at a NASCAR track was a regular season game played at the Bristol Motor Speedway. It's atendance was 150,000. Tennessee vs Virginia Tech. You have, they played Princeton in the first acknowledged College Football game, ever. Recruiting office for new players. We also have High School football. High School is grades 9-12.
The Big Ten Conference is what he is showing. This is only 1 Conference. Originally, this conference had 10 teams but has been expanded to 14 teams. There are 134 Div 1 teams in college football.
@DrChili44 lol, that would make sense. I know nothing about basketball, except that it's so loud and squeaky, but even I know Indiana is famous for basketball. I loved watching Larry Bird with my brother back in the 80s.
Ryan field, northwestern has been destroyed to make a smaller stadium for seating but cost 1 billion. Will be the most technologically advanced stadium. Northwestern is a top ten university north of Chicago. Doesn’t have a huge following but a really really rich alumni.
When I was a teenager in the 1990's. Michigan added around a 1,000 seats to their stadium capacity, raising the capacity to a little over 100,000. Giving them the largest stadium in the country. In response the Tennessee Volunteers increased Neyland stadium to a capacity a bit larger than Michigan's, so they could claim to have the largest stadium. That is college football in a nutshell.
When he says 14 teams, he’s talking about the 14 teams in the Big 10 Conference. Over the years, many conferences, such as the Big 10, SEC, ACC, and Big 12 have expanded the number of teams in their conference, but never changed their name😂In fact, the Big 10 conference now has 18 teams. New additions for the 2024/2025 season include the University of Southern California (USC), the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), the University of Oregon, and the University of Washington. These teams were apart of a conference called the Pac 12, but that conference essentially died due to realignment (teams going to other conferences). All but 2 former Pac12 teams went to the Big 10 or Big 12 conferences. You should watch a video on realignment as well as the new Playoff format. The 2024/2025 season will look VERY different than previous seasons
I seen you reacted to Ohio State band. Maybe check out some HBCU bands? HBCU is (Historical Black Colleges & Universities) their bands are far better but I have no videos to suggest but if you do take a look try looking at some of the betters ones like. Southern University Human Juke Box Jackson State Sonic Boom PV Marching Storm North Folk St Spartan Legion Texas Southern Ocean of Soul
You should check out the southeast conference (SEC) stadiums too, they have even more big stadiums. Also, you can probably guess, but college football brings in big money for the colleges. Football mainly, but mens and sometimes women's basketball are considered the main revenue generating sports, which pays for the other sports for the school, up to 18 different sports teams for each woman and men's. The US has a rule that there needs to be even mens and woman's athletic scholarships given. Considering football teams are allowed up to 85 scholarships, that means a lot of women's sports are provided full scholarship teams. Lastly, this is a big reason why the US does so good in so many Olympics sports, because many of them are college athletes, as well as the women's soccer team. Although, many international Olympic athletes also play for American university teams too, because they can recruit domestically and internationally for student athletes. All mainly because of college football.
Ohio stadium wasn't originally sunk in when it was built, later they dug the field down so it is below ground level now, it let them put more seats in without building up. Also, the super pristine looking fields aren't real grass, they're field turf. Some schools still use grass so they don't loom quite as perfect. Also also, Illini is pronounced uh-lie-nye. . Its bamed for thr confederation of indigenous tribes who historically had inhabited much of present-day Illinois; It's also sometimes used now as a term for anyone from Illinois.
His dry wit about turtles does ring true. Why for football? There are so many legend about football. Some true & some not. I have no idea about a sunken bulldozer. College is liked better than NFL?? I like it better but I'm not sure that is universal. NFL does have a massive following. College has a lot more loyal fans. Pros seem pick up & lose fans depending on how they play.
Colleges recruit the players out of high school. They get x amount of scholarships to give out. Its pretty much like someone trying to impress a client to go with their company for something but with High school players and colleges
I went to IU and they crushed the small field during my time there, but before that construction happened we would regularly break in after a night out to run around and be idiotic college students on the field. it was the best
As a Maryland alumnus, thank you for the apology lol Also, Nebraska football had one of THE biggest dynasties in all of sports. They’ve fallen on hard times, but it’s still an absolute religion in that state (I have family both in Nebraska & Colorado (rivalry))
So, just to clarify this isn’t the ten biggest stadiums, but the stadiums of the Big 10 conference which has 14 teams. The schools are divided into conferences by region and i believe it’s 126 teams in division 1
the big 10 has 18 teams now bud
@comedy_clipzzz hopefully the videos we have will have all of the stadiums, even tho, they might be in the wrong conference for the video 😊

In fact, funny story, back in 1994, when the Badgers went to the Rose Bowl in California... They underestimated how much the Wisconsin fans could drink. We literally drank the stadium dry of beer.
The Big 10 is just one of several college football conferences (divisions). There are 18 (?) Big 10 teams. Other conferences include the PAC-10 (Pacific), SEC (southeastern conference), Atlantic Coast conference, etc. but the Big 10 does have the largest stadiums.
As an American, it is awesome to hear another perspective on these stadiums. Been loving these videos! Check out the Penn state vs Michigan first play of the game if you haven’t. It’s so loud!
It's pronounced ILL-LIE-NIE. American colleges recruit some of their better players from other parts of the country. It can be a vicious game of recruiting between the schools.
Iowa does have tye Stead Family Children's hospital. Went there yesterday and waved at the kids after the first quarter
You can tell how good a team is/has been by the size and expansions of the stadiums. Those that win expand instead of building new stadiums usually, that is why Ohio State is no longer a horseshoe, to get the capacity they wanted they closed that end.
There are 15 college football stadiums with a greater capacity than EVERY NFL stadium
Northwestern is thankfully building a new stadium. It’ll be state of the art but also dramatically smaller than its current design.
When you first show up to Michigan stadium your perspective of the place is slapped hard when you walk in and see it. It's so huge. It's so fucking big.
Yes Iowa is where the wave is done
There are two divisions in college football. 128 FBS schools/teams. The FBS is like the premier league, the biggest and the best. There are 133 FCS schools/teams. Each division subdivides into conferences. The FBS conferences: Atlantic Coast Conference ACC, American, Big 12, Big Ten, Conference-USA, Independent, Mid-American Conference, Mountain West, Pacific or PAC-12, Southeastern Conference(SEC) and Sun Belt conferences. Arguably, the best conferences are SEC, Big Ten and Big 12. ACC and Pac-12 make a good showing for themselves as well. While these conferences were initially regional, in the last few years teams have been moving conferences. Better conferences usually means better TV deals, more money for the schools, and better recruiting. During football season, multiple games will be played on multiple channels from about 11am east coast to about 11pm west coast. So yeah, 12 to 14 hours of grid-iron goodness. NFL is played on Sundays, 1 game on monday night and sometimes a game on thursday night.
YOU need to check out the SEC - south eastern conference stadiums. Undoubtedly the conference with the best overall stadiums.
And my team is not in it but its just obvious.
There is a competitive nature between conferences themselves as well !
We have them on the list of conferences to do
Don’t you mean the SEC - Super exclusive club
There are 9 conferences in the top level of Division 1 or FBS - Football Bowl Subdivision .
The 10th conference, The PAC- Pacific Coast Conf will dissolve starting this August when football season begins.
Because of TV rights, money, teams are jumping to other conf. Each conf is independent with their own Commissioners, tv deals and even refferies umbrellaed under the rules of the NCAA. Years of tradition is gone for treasure in this new trend..
Division 1AA or FCS - football championship Subdivision is the next level of football. Followed by Division 2 and finally D3 ...
D1 FBS with 130 teams is 90% of what is seen on tv or talked about. It also produces 90% of NFL players.
Teams play 12 regular season games then the post season begins with conf championship week. They play 8 conf games and 4 non-conf games a year .
When non-conf games are played the home team get to use refferies groups from their conf. But this too can be negotiable, $$ .
The are a lot of places in the US that don't have a nearby NFL team.
Every College football team is in a conference. Like Big 10, SEC, Big 12,ACC. They have conference champions and they play each other in a round robin style tournament throughout the year. Then the top 12 (starting this year w 12, used to be 4)
teams in all the conferences play in a bracket style playoffs.
Well not every team as Norte Dame, UCONN, UMass and Army football programs are all independent.
I was like, "What about the Pac Tw.......oh, that's right...."
LSUs stadium is acoustically almost perfect. On the 50 yd line, you can make out individual voices from the upper deck. It can be quite intimidating to visiting teams.
You were saying something about it being odd that the Michigan State University holding more people than the city it is in. Actually the stadium is located within East Lansing, a city directly adjacent to Lansing, the Capitol of Michigan. The stadium is centrally located within the state making it pretty easy for people to travel to. I live in a town of 10k just south of the Capitol. Rivalry between the U of M and MSU is pretty intense.
Again missing Oregon! Were BIG 10 now too and again one of the best places on college football ill jave to find you a link.
Big 10 just went through an expansion and added some more teams for this upcoming season- adding 4 more teams for a current total of 18. Ross Aide stadium just went through an update and Northwestern’s stadium is being torn down and rebuilt.
Nebraska's red sea is an amazing one to see as well as our blackouts
And along with the other information you got from previous comments. The 14 teams that you're seeing from the Big Ten Conference. Even those 14 aren't put into order of size. So there is no water. He just is doing schools conference by conference.
I'm going to be watching you. I'm from Memphis in America.
The "Big Ten" started out with... you guessed it 10 teams, however, it has almost doubled in size due to other conferences closing and joining the Big Ten.
Yes. The name "Big Ten" is now just retained as a trademark.
A lot of our colleges are in small towns and the stadium holds more than are even living in the city 18:11
I've been to Ohio Stadium (The Horseshoe/The 'Shoe) twice in my life. If you ever get the chance to go to a Ohio State Buckeyes game, which I definitely recommend, you'll be amazed by the size of the stadium and the noise of the crowd. Also yes, Iowa is the stadium with the Children's Hospital.
Like NFL's Green Bay Packers' Lambeau Field. Same state, same family setting.
There are 128 teams in Division 1 FBS College Football. While there are also 133 teams in Division 1 FCS College Football.
Wisconsin's university is on an isthmus, so there isn't a lot of parking anywhere. The big 10 is one of the college conferences.
Funny he mentioned earthquakes. Check out Cal Memorial Stadium! It’s built right on top of the Hayward fault and the two halves of the stadium have now slipped several feet past each other!
Lived in Iowa City for almost 20 years. My sisters both went to the University of Iowa and my oldest sister married a guy from Iowa. Which they still live in Iowa City. My nephew's middle name is Nile after Nile Kinnick. I loved and still do going up there tailgaiting and watching the games. Yes the University of Iowa Children's hospital overlooks the stadium and the players and crowd stop and wave to the kids during the game.
The Terrapin is our mascot named after the eastern diamondback terrapin, a snapping turtle native to Maryland
The pronunciation of the Fighting Illini in Illinois is phonetically pronounced "Illeyeneye.
4:01 The car park is nothing, it's smaller than you would find at a grocery store, I think it's used for staff, it's that small. You can't really have a parking lot when the stadium is in the middle of the city. Giant parking lots (like Penn State) are ugly anyway.
Illinois is the Illini pronounce ILL-LIE-NYE
James Beaver was Governor of Pennsylvania and got the legislature to appropriate money so that The Pennsylvania Agricultural College could play football. A Girls Gym is named after his daughter Mary Beaver White.
You should react to the best high school football stadiums
3:52 that's because Wisconsin has a parking garage and not a regular parking lot
Also the illinois bulldozer in the ground is a myth
Watch more of his college football stadiums SEC,ACC,PAC12 and AAC . And check out the MLS(futbol/soccer) CFL (Canadians football) and CPL (Canadian Soccer)
FBS, or the Football Bowl Subdivision, consists of 11 different conferences: the ACC, American, Big 12, Big Ten, C-USA, Independent, MAC, Mountain West, PAC-12, SEC and Sun Belt conferences.
SEC OF COURSE BEING BEST
He pronounced it very wrong, Illinois is the :"Fighting Ill-Lie-Nie", named for the Native Americqn tribe that the state of Illinois is named for.
Also since this video has been Released the conference has added 4 teams (Washington, Oregon, usc and ucla)
When the video was done there were 14 teams. Four teams were just added, so now the B10 is now at 18.
I hope you will check out some games this year
I plan to
Big Ten is a regional football conference. There are many different regional conferences.
No it’s a national conference. Teams on both coasts.
Please do a video on the SEC college football stadiums
We have all of the conferences on the list to do. Hopefully we don't miss any. 😊
They recently expanded the Big-10 conference to include USC, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon. I think it's 18 now.
As others have posted, these are stadiums of this particular conference, not the 10 best in the country.
Other conferences include the SEC, Big-12, ACC, Mountain West, WAC, Conference USA, Sun Belt, etc.
There are three basic divisions for college football, with each division having different rules for recruiting football players. The basic rule difference is the number of players the teams can recruit with full (Division 1), partial (2), or none (3) athletic scholarships. So all the best prospective high school football players shop around for the best scholarships and best football coaches. They are all hoping a division 1 school will want them.
Conferences were initially organized with 12 or less schools (or teams) so that everyone plays against each other during the 12 to 14 games played each season. With over 100 division 1 schools, there are around 10-12 conferences. Recently the number of schools in conferences have increased, so many conferences are dying as their teams join better conferences.
Lol! the big 10 is a conference. Their are many college football conferences. Big 10, ACC, SEC, PAC 12, Big East, WAC among many others. These are usually referred to as the power conferences as they are some of the most top tier and competitive conference nationally. There are some conferences that are a somewhat separate from those but can also crack national rankings though they are usually outliers when they do compete against those power conferences. Ivy League schools like Harvard and Princeton. HBCU’s (historically black college universities) such as Morehouse, Hampton and Grambling university also have their own conference. Collegiate Sports is a massive deal in North America. Whereas major cities have more professional sports support, colleges are everywhere including more rural areas and tier 2 cities with smaller metropolitan areas. But generations upon generations of alumni are why you see massive support at these games.
The level of play at college is very high. Most of the guys have been scouted and recruited since H.S. with a resume of playing the game for 10 years often. They commit to play for a college after being recruited and usually offered scholarships worth alot of money to play, pluss now other endorsements. The facilities to train and resources available to them is ridiculous. A small fraction will make it to the NFL. If you make a college football or basketball team. That's impressive ! Shit , alot of kids never make the team in H.S.
Another fun fact for Nebraska we do have the most consecutive sellouts at almost 400 sold out home games
There are 18 teams in the Big Ten this year with the additions of Oregon, Washington, UCLA, and USC
The big 10 has 14 teams as of the making of that video. There are currently 10 D1-FBS Conferences, but will likely be 9 soon since the PAC-12 is losing members. Overall there are around 130 teams in D1-FBS.
He mispronounced Illini (uh LIE ni). It's a reference to a Illiniwek a Native American tribe that lived in that area.
The one that was at a NASCAR track was a regular season game played at the Bristol Motor Speedway. It's atendance was 150,000. Tennessee vs Virginia Tech.
You have, they played Princeton in the first acknowledged College Football game, ever. Recruiting office for new players. We also have High School football. High School is grades 9-12.
The Big Ten Conference is what he is showing. This is only 1 Conference. Originally, this conference had 10 teams but has been expanded to 14 teams. There are 134 Div 1 teams in college football.
You should check out the largest high school stadiums.
Or the largest high school basketball gyms. Which are mostly in Indiana.
@DrChili44 lol, that would make sense. I know nothing about basketball, except that it's so loud and squeaky, but even I know Indiana is famous for basketball. I loved watching Larry Bird with my brother back in the 80s.
Ryan field, northwestern has been destroyed to make a smaller stadium for seating but cost 1 billion. Will be the most technologically advanced stadium. Northwestern is a top ten university north of Chicago. Doesn’t have a huge following but a really really rich alumni.
Yes Iowa has the children hospital next to stadium that they wave
Trivia
the name BIG is both the word big and the number 10, the IG doubles as the number 10.
When I was a teenager in the 1990's. Michigan added around a 1,000 seats to their stadium capacity, raising the capacity to a little over 100,000. Giving them the largest stadium in the country. In response the Tennessee Volunteers increased Neyland stadium to a capacity a bit larger than Michigan's, so they could claim to have the largest stadium. That is college football in a nutshell.
Yes Iowa is the team with the children's hospital next to it.
When he says 14 teams, he’s talking about the 14 teams in the Big 10 Conference. Over the years, many conferences, such as the Big 10, SEC, ACC, and Big 12 have expanded the number of teams in their conference, but never changed their name😂In fact, the Big 10 conference now has 18 teams. New additions for the 2024/2025 season include the University of Southern California (USC), the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), the University of Oregon, and the University of Washington. These teams were apart of a conference called the Pac 12, but that conference essentially died due to realignment (teams going to other conferences). All but 2 former Pac12 teams went to the Big 10 or Big 12 conferences. You should watch a video on realignment as well as the new Playoff format. The 2024/2025 season will look VERY different than previous seasons
College football programs are recruiting high school players regularly. They like to have them there during big games. When the stadium is "rocking".
Colleges need to recruit players. Players choose which college they attend. A lot of competition between Universities...
I seen you reacted to Ohio State band. Maybe check out some HBCU bands?
HBCU is (Historical Black Colleges & Universities) their bands are far better but I have no videos to suggest but if you do take a look try looking at some of the betters ones like.
Southern University Human Juke Box
Jackson State Sonic Boom
PV Marching Storm
North Folk St Spartan Legion
Texas Southern Ocean of Soul
Yes, University of Iowa has the children hospital wave from the stadium. The best Big 10 college hands down. Go Hawkeyes!!!
You should check out the southeast conference (SEC) stadiums too, they have even more big stadiums. Also, you can probably guess, but college football brings in big money for the colleges. Football mainly, but mens and sometimes women's basketball are considered the main revenue generating sports, which pays for the other sports for the school, up to 18 different sports teams for each woman and men's. The US has a rule that there needs to be even mens and woman's athletic scholarships given. Considering football teams are allowed up to 85 scholarships, that means a lot of women's sports are provided full scholarship teams. Lastly, this is a big reason why the US does so good in so many Olympics sports, because many of them are college athletes, as well as the women's soccer team. Although, many international Olympic athletes also play for American university teams too, because they can recruit domestically and internationally for student athletes. All mainly because of college football.
We will be checking out all of the Division 1 conferences, even tho they have changed up
Ohio stadium wasn't originally sunk in when it was built, later they dug the field down so it is below ground level now, it let them put more seats in without building up. Also, the super pristine looking fields aren't real grass, they're field turf. Some schools still use grass so they don't loom quite as perfect. Also also, Illini is pronounced uh-lie-nye. . Its bamed for thr confederation of indigenous tribes who historically had inhabited much of present-day Illinois; It's also sometimes used now as a term for anyone from Illinois.
Conference: Big 10, ACC, SEC, etc. Divisions...
The reason Purdue’s stadium looks rough is it is real grass. Most the other stadiums use turf which basically always looks new
His dry wit about turtles does ring true. Why for football? There are so many legend about football. Some true & some not. I have no idea about a sunken bulldozer. College is liked better than NFL?? I like it better but I'm not sure that is universal. NFL does have a massive following. College has a lot more loyal fans. Pros seem pick up & lose fans depending on how they play.
Who won the race between the tortoise and the hare?
Colleges recruit the players out of high school. They get x amount of scholarships to give out. Its pretty much like someone trying to impress a client to go with their company for something but with High school players and colleges
Yes Iowa has the Childrens hospital view
Make sure to react to SEC stadiums as well
We have all of the conferences on the list to do. Thank you for your suggestion and I hope we didn't miss any but I know you guys will let us know 😊😊
I went to IU and they crushed the small field during my time there, but before that construction happened we would regularly break in after a night out to run around and be idiotic college students on the field. it was the best
As a Maryland alumnus, thank you for the apology lol
Also, Nebraska football had one of THE biggest dynasties in all of sports. They’ve fallen on hard times, but it’s still an absolute religion in that state
(I have family both in Nebraska & Colorado (rivalry))
There are over 700 college football teams throughout the country.😊
What happened to the new arrivals from the PAC 12?
this is an old video
