Just out of curiosity, I love the atmosphere of packed college football games. Do you guys know which colleges consistently pack their football stadiums the most?
There are quite a few universities known for consistently filling their football stadiums to capacity, creating an electric atmosphere on game day.
1. University of Michigan - Michigan Stadium, often referred to as "The Big House", is the largest college football stadium in the country, and they certainly know how to fill it. With a capacity of around 107,600, Michigan fans show up in droves, often filling the stadium to capacity.
2. Penn State University - Beaver Stadium in Pennsylvania also sees high attendance during football season. With a seating capacity of over 106,500, it's one of the largest stadiums in North America, and Penn State's ardent fans often fill it to its brim.
3. University of Texas - The Longhorns also have a dedicated fanbase that ensures a packed house at the Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium with a seating capacity of 100,119.
4. Ohio State University - The Ohio Stadium, or "The Horse Shoe" as it is known, regularly sees capacity crowds for Buckeyes games, with over 102,000 fans in attendance.
5. University of Alabama - The Crimson Tide's Bryant-Denny Stadium, with a capacity of 100,077 often runs full during their games given their successful track record in football.
These schools, among others, consistently have large attendances at their games, contributing to lively and enthusiastic game day atmospheres. However, it's best to look at average attendance figures for a more accurate picture, which can be found through a quick web search.
