[@zacharyliles8657]

Perspective has a lot to do with why Michigan Stadium doesn't look so big at a glance. In reality the stadium is so huge that the pictures have to be taken from much further away in order to fit the whole bowl into the photo, so it doesn't always look so imposing from areal photos. If you go back and look at arial photos of Michigan Stadium you'll notice a small-looking arena next door. That's actually a 15,000 seat basketball arena it just appears dwarfed next to Michigan Stadium. I've been lucky to go to many Michigan games, being in that stadium is an incredible experience

[@LeeMoore-tu4gr]

So for Camp Randall Stadium home of the Wisconsin Badgers that building at one end of the stadium is the UW Field House. Its a 10k seat arena that used to host the school basketball and volleyball teams. The basketball teams moved to a new arena in 1998 but volleyball is still played there.

Camp Randall in WI is the most historic. It was the largest staging area for Wisconsin troops during the Civil War. Over 70K soldiers were trained there.

[@DNReacts]

Wow, thanks for this info Rath! Appreciate it

[@bigapplebucky]

Including the 2nd, 6th and 7th regiments which comprised a large portion of the famed Iron Brigade. Camp Randall was also a prisoner of war camp. Some Confederate soldiers died there and are buried nearby, the northern most confederate cemetary.

[@NannerBrams]

There used to be 10 teams in the Big Ten. Same with the Big 12 having 12 teams. With the conference realignment in the past decade or so, there's a different amount of teams in each conference than when they were formed.

[@beragis3]

Then once USC and UCLA are added it will then be 16 teams.

[@beragis3]

One thing that is interesting about OSU's horseshoe, is that before it was renovated is that it also was a dormitory. My cousin's daughter was among the last group of students who lived in the dorm. She had to move to another dorm thanks to renovation. Even though it grates me to correct the "narrator" being an OSU fan, but the Michigan stadium is known as "The Big House"

[@gregcable3250]

What is better about Big 10 football is that it is played--at least for most of the second half of the season--in REAL football weather--where you compete against the elements as well as your opponents. Nothing better than a blustery snow game.

[@stevenspalding8983]

Love your channel guys. Yes the boxes you see are a mix of luxury seating and press areas. The press areas will be on the side that the midfield logo faces

[@DNReacts]

Thank you Steven! Appreciate the support. Thanks for this context.

[@jonathanwyman3869]

Big Ten stadiums are among the oldest in college football. Michigan once had plans to add an upper deck (which would be insane) but for some reason never did. Michigan stadium once squeezed over 115,000 in there for a game.

[@wilshade]

Think of the conference names as "brands", The Big-10 was made up of ten schools back in the day. But as TV revenue increased exponentially, many schools changed conferences and some independents, for example Penn State, decided in would be in their better financial interest to join a conference. The most conference names had been trademarked by then. Thus they retained their names.

[@DNReacts]

Thank you for this Will, makes sense. Appreciate the info

[@noahdoss1967]

Crowd noise is very important for the home team in American Football, because the defense is typically just reacting to the offensive formation with flexible plans set in place, whereas the offense needs to communicate very specific information to all players when something about the play is altered. As a result, when your team is on defense, you try to get the crowd all pumped up so that the offense can’t hear and either messes up the play or someone mishears the timing of the “snap” (the play start) and jumps early, causing a penalty.

[@armynurseboy]

This is why Beaver Stadium is notorious. The acoustics in there for some reason are deafening.

[@Tolkienlady]

Not sure who this guy was ranking the stadiums but as he even said, Nebraska Memorial Stadium, the one you guys first liked, really is rated the #1 stadium by ESPN, and (a sports magazine which I cannot remember the name of), and is called "The Cathedral of all Stadiums." While on vacation through the USA we took a tour (bc the Nebraska Capitol building is also rated #1 so we had to see these beauties) and it really is the best. Absolutely phenomenal.

[@supachef_dmoney_4]

I've been to Ohio Stadium & the Big House. The atmosphere of a Big 10 football game is breath taking. O-H-I-O

[@auckalukaum]

Michigan Stadium seats so many people because they give you like a 16" spot on an aluminum bleacher to cram yourself. If you've got a fat guy on either side of you, forget about it. The most uncomfortable venue I've ever watched a sporting event at. Although the atmosphere is incredible, apart from the drunken hall of fame coach sitting 2 rows down from you who second guesses every play call and could definitely run the team better.

[@ThisIsMyRealName]

I agree 100% 👍

[@bigd7481]

tbf that's most big college stadiums.

[@hardtackbeans9790]

Michigan may take that a little further than most, but many (most?) do the same thing.

[@itisnotmeMARCO]

Others have mentioned press boxes and luxury suites, but those same boxes often have rooms for both team's offensive and defensive coordinators to help with playcalling. These coaches are right under the head coach in the org chart but above the position-specific assistant coaches (quarterback coach, wide receiver coach, etc.). The coordinators have radio headsets to talk back and forth with the head coach about what they are seeing from up top and what type of plays they think should be called. Not sure about college, but in the NFL a quarterback and linebacker typically wear an ear piece to communicate the plays being called to the other players on the field.

[@DNReacts]

This is great, thanks for the info Mario

[@c.simmons2147]

@@DNReacts To add to what Mario said, its not always a coordinator up in the box, but there are always coaches from offense and defense. Some coordinators like being on the field so they can talk with the players, so then they will have one or more of the position coaches (and other staff members) in the box relaying down what they are seeing. Its all really a matter of preference for coaches, but every team takes advantage of having that higher viewpoint. And that goes for lower levels too. Its why you will often see one side with a tall stand and the other with a much smaller. They need to build one side high for the box for coaches, so they might as well build the seating that high as well. And that goes all the way down to high school. You will often see high schools with one big metal stands with a coaches box and then the other side having stands that can only fit a few dozen people.

[@armynurseboy]

In college, on the field players are not mic'd up. All communications from the coach to the players are done with either running the play onto the field by a replacement player, hand signals or signs.

[@HurricaneCook]

Big 12 and maybe Pac 12 have some really nice stadiums. (And just so no one starts into a tirade, SEC is not pronounced "seck", it's always ess-ee-see. Great vid and GO BUCKS!)

[@DNReacts]

Thank you Casey, appreciate this. My track record with pronunciations isn’t great 😅

[@PHXNKVHXLIC]

SEC is above and beyond any other conference. It just means more.

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

[@jamespetry990]

You should look up the old big ten logo for when they had 11 teams. There was a hidden 11 in negative space and I just love that kid of attention to detail.

[@DNReacts]

Love this James. Just Googled the Logo and saw how they embedded the 11. That’s quality!

[@justinlutz513]

So if no one has said it yet, Michigan is called "The Big House". And it is the 3rd largest sporting venue in the world. Only two cricket stadiums in India hold more people. Great vid.

[@ericm9029]

The building at the end of Camp Randall Stadium is where the basketball team originally played their games. It's called The Fieldhouse. They now play at The Kohl Center.

[@DNReacts]

Thanks for this info Darrin! Appreciate it

[@kbob9625]

For Wisconsin, Camp Randall, that building is the old field house. It was used as a base for the civil war. The field house was converted into an arena for basketball and volleyball. Eventually we built our own arena for that called the Kohl center which most college programs cant even touch.

[@nathanambers1714]

The Big10 is the oldest established intercollegiate conference in the US. Established in the 1890’s and consisting of 10 teams for nearly a century. University of Chicago departed and they added Michigan State in 1950. They wouldn’t have an 11th team until Penn State joined in 1990. Since then TV revenue (markets) has driven expansion. The Big10 kept its historical name despite their expansion. They have added teams in the New York (Rutgers) and Los Angeles (Soon to be USC and UCLA) to grab hold of the 3 biggest TV markets in the US, already having Chicago established. A name change every time they add a new team would be crazy. Example: 1990 - Big11. 2011 -Big12(already a Big12, that doesn’t work). 2014 - Big14. 2024 - Big16. And there’s already talk of expanding again up to 20 teams. This doesn’t mention the brand recognition that comes from a century plus of being known as the BigTen Conference.

[@maxlauer7013]

I know it's a bit long, but there's a video called "The CRAZIEST college football season of all-time" which covers the 2007 college football season. It's about 20 minutes, so I understand if that's too long for the channel, but it's extremely interesting and informative.

[@DNReacts]

Hi Max, we’re actually thinking about doing this one. Hopefully everyone won’t mind it’s longer. We’ve had a lot suggesting we take a look at this. Would be one of the longest watches we’ve done so far, but we’re happy to do it when we can get it into the schedule.

[@johnnygraz4712]

Went to school at Wisconsin and spent a lot of time at Camp Randall. The house-like building at the end of the field is called, surprisingly, the Field House. It's where they play the basketball games.

[@robertdedrick7937]

Coaches up in the Press Box too ! Unique to AFB coaches use the birds eye view to call down plays or information to the coaches on the sidelines. Notice they wear headset on the field. Even stories of signal stealing from the eyes in the ski ..

[@ConnorP5050]

Beaver Stadium at #5 is a crime. It is arguably the best atmosphere in college football.

[@Mrfiregator50]

As an SEC fan I can agree. The Big 10 has a much deeper history and tradition background though. Michigan is known and "The Big House." If you get a chance look into the history of college football rivalries. You will be in for a treat.

SEC and Big 10: huge stadiums; high quality college football played in them Pac 12: smaller, but in GORGEOUS settings NFL: smaller, but 1/2 of them are LUXURIOUS (and w/DISTINCT designs)

[@doylelilly7615]

Those building located in the stadium are the visitors and home team locker rooms, gameday training and medical rooms, player lounges, weight rooms, dining areas, athletic offices, and gameday HIGHSCOOL ATHLETES recruiting....those the university are targeting for scholarships to play for the school .......and VIP areas for alums/ donors on gameday.

[@praxton]

The Big 10 has been around generations. The name became a brand, so they can't change it and would refuse if anyone tried to compel them to. They'll actually grow to 16 teams in 2024. Even then, they won't change it and American college sports fans wouldn't want them to. Additionally, the Big 12 currently has 10 teams, will have 14 teams in 2023-24, then down to 12 starting in 2024-25. BUT, they may expand again and get to anywhere from 14 to 20 teams. Since they're a relatively younger conference (founded in 1996), at that point, they may rebrand.

[@bob_._.]

Generally speaking, college stadiums are on campus except for some schools in dense urban areas. Ohio State has a huge number of sports facilities on campus; they compete in more intercollegiate sports than any other university and most have dedicated venues. OSU could almost host the Olympics though they'd need to build a velodrome.

[@zachmatsko3799]

I live about 5-10 mins from penn states beaver stadium. I can hear the crowd from outside my door during some games

[@Titus-as-the-Roman]

When building these stadiums the cost of the land, materials and construction often will choose to place an athletics facility joined to it for cost reasons, those are the buildings you see at the end of the field, Cardinal Stadium here in Louisville has that design.

[@DNReacts]

Thank you for this Titus. Great info!

[@HeavenhoundGiuseppe]

Most college stadiums are on campus, exceptions being a few schools in big cities where space is a luxury. Presently 4 college teams share a stadium with the city's NFL team, for the same reason of lack of space to build their own stadium. Pitt, Miami, South Florida (Tampa) and UNLV (Las Vegas).

[@aust25]

That’s the field house behind camp Randall, where we play volleyball (shoutout wisco volleyball)

It's always a different perspective when the stadiums are full of fans. They look better.

As for the SEC, I guess you have to choose your priorities. They are a great football conference, but if you need a heart surgeon I suggest a big ten grad.

[@ericm9029]

He joked about the beaver on the stadium but it’s actually a mountain lion. You guys might be more familiar with the name of puma or cougar, same thing. Penn State teams are called the Nittany lions, which is a name that pays homage to the mountain lions that used to roam in the area around Mount Nittany, a mountain just outside town. And if you’re wondering what Nittany is it is a word derived from a Native American language.

The Big Ten did have ten teams until about 1990. By then the brand had stuck enough that when Penn State was added as an 11th team, they decided to just keep the name. The Big XII is similar, though they stayed at 12 teams until 2011. There was a brief period where the Big XII had ten teams and the Big Ten had 12, and many jokes were made about it. Of the five I've been to in the conference, I think I would rank them: 1) Minnesota. Small but very nice (it's easily the newest of the bunch). 2) Michigan. As big as it is, it still manages to be cramped. But it gets points for sheer size. 3) Michigan State. Nothing special about it, but there isn't a bad seat in the house. 4) Illinois. Nicer exterior than Michigan State, but the interior is kind of weirdly designed. There are seats under the upper deck on the east sideline where the view is at least partly obstructed, and I don't really like the gap at the corners around the north stand. 5) Northwestern. Very small, and the corner seats are awful because they're facing the wrong way.

We all feel a little bit lied to. It is understandable in a way. 50 years ago a college would rarely change conference. Then some conferences disappeared & jumping to another conference became not so 'uncommon'. The numbered conferences were doomed to be myth. And should probably rename in the future. I don't normally care about stadiums but since this video is about that, I would go SEC also. Actually the quality of food, parking, facilities, & tailgating are more important in a smaller stadium to me. You can keep your mega stadiums.

This is happening because the West Coast schools don't get much exposure in the Eastern 2/3 of the country. Many times the games don't start until 11:00pm in the Eastern Time Zone.

Michigan is called the "Big House"! Surprised no one corrected it yet! 🤷‍♂️

[@tomdemay6147]

next should be the BIG 12 (though their top 2 schools are moving to the SEC very soon). After that PAC 12 (who is losing their top 2 historic stadiums as 2 of their teams are moving to the BIG 10 very soon). Lastly the ACC (which has 2 or 3 great ones, but probably the smallest average seating of the "Power 5" conferences.

[@kentzepick4169]

The stadiums are usually on the actual university campus.

[@gracielynn9623]

His regular video on the stadiums, where he doesn’t rank them, he actually gives a much better tour of the stadiums and a little bit more history. I’ve not actually been to any of these stadiums, but I personally would rank Beaver Stadium a lot higher.

[@swoesteban5570]

Next year there will be 16 teams in "The Big Ten", with USC & UCLA joining.

[@archwayportraits]

It may have been only #6 but Because Memorial stadium is number 1 in at least 1 category. 389 consecutive sellouts dating back to 1962. Current capacity is 85,458. Every. Single. Game.

[@DNReacts]

That’s crazy! Thanks for the info 😀

[@dylansmith928]

If you guys think these college stadiums are crazy, watch a compilation of the best high school football stadiums in the USA. 14-18 year olds playing in front of thousands of people on a weekly basis. Even crazier conceptually than college football

[@gregcable3250]

SEC is properly pronounced by its individual letters S-E-C with "The" in front--"The S-E-C" (never "SEC" :)--same with The ACC), and it has been a bit better than the Big-10 for the last decade, give or take, though not every year. However, the Big-10 is better in most of the other collegiate sports including basketball, wrestling--REAL wrestling (check out Penn State wrestling, especially).

Watch The Rivalry its a documentary on Ohio State vs. Meatchicken football. I grew up in Ohio on the Meatchicken borderline. Watch the video and see the hard corp fan bases of both schools. INSANE

[@Hollingsworth2781]

Most college stadiums are right on campus. A few are across the street, but since the whole area supports the university, they are basically on campus. Most big US schools have huge campus's that can take an hour or sometimes 2 hours to walk across. Some are even bigger than that.

[@shawnanderson6313]

2 Hours really ? I mean the average person walk about 5 mph. You saying there are campus that are 10 miles wide ? Which campus is that huge ?

[@Hollingsworth2781]

@@shawnanderson6313 First off, it is not always a straight walk. Second, I went to a big school that had a fairly small campus at campus at 300 acres. It was a rectangle, but closer to a square. It would take me about about 20 minutes to go all the way across campus. From the off campus apts or the row it took me about 30 minutes to the football stadium. Stadium was all the way on the south part of campus and apts were the to the north. But a campus walk was about 20 minutes. I travel to see many football games. It took me about an hour to walk from the top to bottom of Ohio State. I walked Stanford's campus which is really large. It is several thousand acres. We walk for like 2 hours one day, but you go even further out. Now the main central part was like an 1 hour and 1.5 hours or so. But it keeps going. Those are the only 3 that I remember specifically. But I have walked some very long distances as I have seen many football games in many stadiums. I always will take a couple of walks on all of the campuses when I go to my games. Usually the walk will be about 45 minutes up to about 2 hours, but a a few were longer. Once in a while, it would be like 20 minutes on a smaller campus. Go walk some a 1500 to 5000 acre campuses and see for yourself. I remember some of these schools as being as big or even a lot bigger than Ohio state U. U Minnesota, Texas A and M, Michigan State, Penn St, U Michigan, Army/WestPoint, Duke, Mississippi st, Ole Miss, Uconn, U Oklahoma, U Florida, U Illinois, Indiana U. to name a few that I remember.

[@davidroseman4917]

I'm an Ohio State fan but Minnesota has the best stadium in the conference

[@Titus-as-the-Roman]

The ACC, Atlantic Coast Conference, has had national champions and good football. I like to think it's the best overall conference, not only does it have good football, it is Dominating in Basketball.

[@DNReacts]

Thanks for this Titus. Think it’s between ACC and PAC12 (from memory) as to which conference is up next

[@areguapiri]

The Big 12 is cool.

[@Titus-as-the-Roman]

@@areguapiri the Big 12 Was cool, they've been hemorrhaging teams lately.

[@kylebrown3949]

The BIG 10 has 14 teams because of the colleges forming super conferences. It’s what almost happened in European soccer with the super league that they tried to form between the diff countries. That’s been going on in college football for the last 20 years. Teams leaving conferences for money. In college football, the SEC is the strongest most powerful conference in all of College football. They have the most money they can steal and buy any team they want and have done so already.

[@Pitts4d]

As an IU fan I was pretty shocked to see our stadium get so much love because it's not known for its atmosphere. To be fair though that's likely more to do with the fact that we suck every year rather than the stadium itself lol

[@blakerh]

I am an IU grad and I was pretty surprised too. Before they did the expansion it looked like a high school stadium.

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

Not sure but I think there's plans to make Perdue's stadium a true oval.

[@gracielynn9623]

The reason why the Big Ten conference does not have 10 teams is primarily because of conference realignment. Originally, much like the big 12, the Big Ten originally had 10 schools. Over the years, the revenue that the schools are bringing from TV deals would attract some schools to various conferences for various reasons. Other schools who were independent decided it was in their best interest to join a conference, so they join the nearest geographic one. Starting in two years, there will actually be two more schools added to the Big Ten conference, USC and UCLA. They will be leaving the PAC 12, which will still be named the Pac 12, but will only have 10 schools, in 2024. Additionally, the big 12 conference currently only has 10 teams. They have four new teams joining the conference this upcoming year, so they will, for one year, at least, have 14 teams. Then in 2024 Texas and Oklahoma will be leaving for the SEC, so the big 12 will once again have 12 schools.

[@bernardmayles6564]

Michigan is the biggest buy not the loudest because of the way its build. It's build outward instead of upward.

[@DNReacts]

Yeah we’ve noticed this a lot Bernard. Makes the atmospheres we’ve seen all the more impressive, knowing most the stadiums have that fanned out effect
