I enjoy the fact that you immediately remembered the Children's hospital at Iowa.

[@kay_sou]

Americans, from my experience, don't tend to use the word "queue" to refer to a physical line of people, instead using "line". We use "queue" more often to refer to an ordered backlog of something, like being put into a tech support queue after calling a helpdesk. We don't use "queue" as a verb at all, and would say "waiting in line" instead of "queueing".

[@kentgrady9226]

You're right. It's an antiquated word in American English. During the Depression, people "queued up in the soup line" or "stood in the relief dole queue". I've never heard the word used by an American in the context Brits use and understand it.

[@brianyoungberg9904]

Some of us say queue to sound more sophisticated

[@faiththomas1749]

@@kentgrady9226 it’s called tailgating, it’s the same concept : we hang out with other fans until the game starts but you have to get their early to experience it ( we play cornhole ,have food , have drinks and mingle until the game starts the do it all again when the game ends)

[@heyitsba7587]

The parking at Maryland Stadium was said to be a parking garage. All you saw was the top level. There are multiple levels underneath that allows for parking which dramatically increases the parking capacity.

[@michaelschemlab]

[@99Stutz]

Most people know what queue means, but in practice it is not used to mean a literal line of people. Its use is confined to a computer context usually (the print queue for documents, for example). Here you "line up" and are "waiting in line"

[@mildredpierce4506]

We say things like: standing in line, a long line, the line was long, cutting in line, lining up, getting out of line, Front of the line, back of the line. I’ve seen queue only in reference to a computer program with a list of items such as items that are meant to be sent somewhere else. Those items go into a general queue or distribution. Or in the case of Netflix or blockbuster videos, you will place your desired videos in the queue.

[@omgitzzari5585]

1:27 we would say we’re “waiting in line” or “standing in line” or just “in line” (whether you’re standing, in a car, etc.), if somebody tells you to stand in a line they would say to “line up” or “get in line/get in a line”. I’ve been to and lived in many states and have never heard somebody from the US say “queue” for any instance other than “queue” to start something like a movie or song (not saying there aren’t people here that do, I’ve just never heard it)

[@omgitzzari5585]

Also, I didn’t even know “queue” was also a “line” until I was like 14 because I had never heard of it like that

[@meshellglenn812]

Michigan Stadium is called The Big House and it’s the 3rd largest stadium in the world

[@kenyonmoon3272]

For service/ticket/etc it is "line". If you are on hold, you hear "your call will be answered in the order it was received". If we use the word "queue" it is typically in reference for something non-personal, if used at all-- something like "the busses are all queued up and ready to do their routes once the drivers arrive".

[@bookwoman40]

The reason this conference is called the Big Ten is that earlier there were only 10 universities in the conference. The other four teams were added but the name the Big Ten was kept because of the long history and affection for the name. I’m a graduate of the University of Minnesota, when the conference was truly The Big Ten.

[@mic1240]

And prior, other schools not in earlier, Purdue is the founding member and still in BIG Ten.

[@SilvanaDil]

Fun fact; Every country could play a world cup match *simultaneously* in the U.S. with every stadium seating over 50,000.

[@therealbomb_com8774]

idk why FIFA didn't consider playing games for 2026 in college stadiums. It would've been sick seeing a 115K attended final!

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

Michigan Stadium has hosted several soccer matches in the recent past. I went to a game between Real Madrid vs Manchester United there in 2014. The game attendence was over 110,000 if I recall. And I still have the Real Madrid scarf I got with the ticket; it's actually really nice, thick with very tight stitching. The reason the world cup chose the venues they did has less to do with the stadiums than the accommodations around them. Each site has to have plenty of hotels, easy access to airports, and everything else you need when you're going to have thousands upon thousands of guests from all over the world. That's especially true since '26 is the first world cup with 48 countries instead of 32. So as much as I love my hometown of Ann Arbor, there simply isn't the necessary infrastructure in a college town of 125,000 people to host such an event; especially compared to cities like New York and LA. Though I am kind of mad they didn't put any Great Lakes/Midwest cities as hosts. They're all coastal cities and cities in Texas.

[@theblackbear211]

I'm a little older - so my usage may be slightly different - but until I started using electronic printers, the only place I ever encountered the word "queue" was either in English literature or movies/television shows. I've lined up, stood in line, formed a line, and get irked with people who "jump" a line or "cut" the line. The only queues I ever wait in are the ones on a busy printer.

[@jakeryan4545]

The Big Ten (originally 10 schools) is mainly composed of large public (state) universities in the Midwest (Northwest being the only private school). They have expanded to include some East Coast schools like Maryland and Rutgers. But no southern schools (unless you count Maryland as southern).

[@trl2828]

Ohio State is a southern team. GO Blue. =)

[@castlecorn593]

[@Kenyon712]

Yep, we just line up. We call it the line.

[@bradb3248]

The college stadiums are often much larger than pro stadiums, but are also much older, Ohio Stadium for example being about 100 years old. The football programs along with basketball fund all other college sports which overwhelmingly lose money. In the older stadiums comfort and luxury are not a priority!

[@timvanderburg6039]

I've lived in Madison, WI since 1978, and have NEVER attended a UW football game. In fact, I lived in Madison for nearly five years before it even dawned on me that the UW-Madison WAS a BigTen school. From what I've heard from people who have attended games, unless you're a die-hard fan or alumnus, sitting in the packed stadium during a home game is a wretched experience.

[@darrinlindsey]

Hayden Fry, our legendary coach from 1979-1999 had a philosophy degree. When he became our head coach, one of his first official acts was to paint that locker room pink. In recent years, the opposing teams send someone ahead of the game, to drape sheets over everything that's pink.

[@williamjordan5554]

Huge colleges are often in small cities, referred to as college towns. Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Clemson, etc.

[@mintberrycrunch1752]

Ames, Lawrence, Stillwater, Corvallis, Pullman, Boulder, East Lansing, Bloomington, Iowa City, Gainesville, Waco, College Station, State College, Manhattan(KS), and Oxford(MS) are all college towns too

[@kaylee3933]

What he didnt mention about Nebraska's stadium is that it's sold out every home game going back to 1962

[@mintberrycrunch1752]

Ive sat at the top section of the Nebraska stadium for a game before, its a surprisingly good view of the game still. But you feel like youre on top of a skyscraper

[@lnytita6763]

When I was an elementary grade teacher in a tiny village in Alaska, the students had to line up inside the classroom door before going to lunch. In order to get them in a "quiet line", I would say to them, "Ninja queue" 🙂 I frequently used words from other cultures mixed in with daily life so that they would be exposed to the world around them.

[@wolee03]

Yeah, Michigan's stadium is called The Big House... It's been sooo long, but I remember many a Saturday in Ann Arbor when the traffic and streets were eerily quiet during the game because everyone was at the stadium or watching.

[@forreal2398]

People Line up and its ur 1st in line, next in line, last in line. We do not use the word Queue for a line of people trying to get into an event. Queue is used for say printing jobs that are stacked up back to back to be printed. So its an electronic queue

[@fufhdjdmskssushsjsjekkc7996]

Nah the recruiting lounge is where they bring high school recruits during a game give them a tour of the stadium and then they’ll watch the game then the team will hope the high school players will sign with there college

[@kevinbrown-ge6sz]

A recruiting lounge would be for high school football players that the school is recruiting to play for them.

[@knightu1642]

In America we always use the term "standing in line" or "waiting in line" or "forming a line". We use queue when referring to the order that your printer is printing jobs because it says "queue".

[@nathanlawson313]

Yes, we say waiting in LINE. No one ever says Queue. In fact, when we hear queue we are more likely to think of a cue ball in billiards or a cue as in stage direction for a play.

[@WTDProductions]

Still hoping you can get around reacting to “The CRAZIEST College Football Season of All-Time”by KTO, it really shows why college football is so fun!

@ 15:24 ~ Recruiting Lounge; it's for potential Future team players. You hold Recruiting visits, sometimes on the day a game is held, to showcase the environment to prospective High School Recruits. It would also serve as a banquette area during recruiting weekends.

The B1G has the top three largest stadiums but the SEC has the next 6 largest stadiums. Also the stadiums are mostly paid for by the boosters(rich fans) and corporate interests, alongside any profits made by the athletic department(rarely do they use academic monies, that is kinda frowned upon).

[@bradyjohnson5544]

1:26 , ye we would say were waiting in line

[@Alex-kd5xc]

“Recruiting” in the context of college football refers to the recruitment of high school football players. Clearly, college football is pretty damn big here so as you can imagine, recruitment of high school athletes is also a massive thing here. It’s so big, it gets national coverage on ESPN and at local levels too. You can have 16-17 year old kids who are already big names in their states all because of the debate on which college they’ll choose to commit to. This also extends to college basketball too.

[@blackphoenix32]

To expand on Alex's point, recruits will be invited to games by the coaching staff to see what game days are like for the players. After pre-game warmups, they'll be taken into the stands, or, in Rutgers' case, the recruiting lounge to watch the game itself.

[@MrTommygunz420]

I'm pretty sure he's already reacted to the OSU marching band before (and if not please do, there's several with million+ views and they do a different themed show every week of the season too;) they recruit musicians almost as heavily.

[@george217]

Yes, Michigan Stadium is called "The Big House". Of course many prisons are known as " The Big House", too.

[@jeffburdick869]

1:30 queue is not really used in the US. We say waiting in line. I actually first saw that word when I was like 18 on Napster of all places. I'd be downloading songs and it would list some as like "in the queue" and through context, I figured out what it meant, but I had never seen or heard it prior to that.

[@ronaldmcboggled9855]

Michigan State fan here and I have been to most of these and they were all good. Spartan Stadium is definitely one of least impressive in the conference but I still love it. The big ones are truly impressive of course but overall Nebraska was my favorite game. Some of the nicest fans I’ve ever met and the stadium/atmosphere was great.

[@ChaoticCobras]

i dont use the word "queue" and i dont know anyone else who does, maybe some people do. but yea we just say "line" lol

[@theblackbear211]

The University of Wisconsin Field House was the Indoor sporting facility for the University when it was built. For a basketball game it could seat slightly more than 10,000 people packed onto its bleachers. The crowd roar inside that steel framed, but stone walled chamber was an awesome thing to experience.

[@nathanvega6281]

I once worked as a janitor at the OSU stadium at Stillwater Oklahoma with a capacity of 60,000 and for a crew of 50 it took us 8 hours just to collect all of the big garbage like cans and stuff, then another 7 hours to blow and vacuum the crumbs and finally 10 hours to power wash it.

[@billrickard9648]

College football is generally the largest revenue generator for universities, especially in the larger conferences such as the SEC and Big 10. These large football programs generate hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue that in turn pays for many of the other sports programs that are less profitable or not profitable at all for the university. This football revenue also pays for a ton of other expenses and needs around the university

we do use Queue but not for lining up. We use it for waiting phone calls, waiting to get in a dungeon in online games. Yeah, we are just not that sophisticated. Plus, Americans tend to use french based words less than out Brit counterparts. Plus how hard is it to spell "line" compared to "queue." We are talking about a group of people who can't figure out the difference between Rogue and Rouge.

[@Terrell070]

It's usually lining up. As far as I know people don't usually use the word queue. The largest NFL stadium holds in the neighborhood of 80K. College Football is the original. High School and NFL are spinoffs. Oh, and Rutgers was one of the two teams that played in the first College Football game in 1869. New Jersey (now Princeton) was the other.

[@helgar791]

We don't say "queue" in America. We do say "jump the line".

[@rdfox76]

No matter how much parking you find at the stadium, there's not going to be enough. Speaking from personal experience (I spent a year working as a parking attendant for campus events), while Spartan Stadium has large parking lots immediately north of it, and a number of other lots nearby, for events at the stadium, every parking lot (and ramp, and a number of grass athletic fields) on campus is drafted into action for prepaid parking passes. If you don't have a prepaid pass, you'll have to park somewhere off-campus and walk to the stadium (distances up to a mile and a half). Even some of the on-campus parking is nearly a mile from the stadium, but shuttle bus service is offered between those distant lots and the stadium itself. And part of the culture of college football is tailgate parties, which means arriving very early and just hanging out with portable grills and such until game time. When I was working the football games (as a student), I had to report in at 5AM to get my assignment and pick up my gear (a Safety Orange vest), and be at my assigned parking lot by 5:30AM so that I could allow only those who had passes for that lot in. Very often, I'd get there by 5:20 or so and there would *already* be some people in the lot (I'd collect passes from those who had them and, while I didn't actually *enforce* it, suggest those who didn't move their cars elsewhere)... when the earliest start time I saw was noon, and there was one game that didn't even start until 5PM.

[@mic1240]

The south end zone of Purdue’s stadium is a beer garden during games, and also now has the second largest video board in college football, just bit smaller than Clemson.

[@chrisjackson3665]

The stadiums hold more in part because most of them don’t have individual seating like pro stadiums (they’re just basically bleachers). Also, cant forget that half the people there or more are students that don’t need to drive to the stadium since they live on campus.

[@ericdaniel74]

In the US, usually in word use, living things do not queue. A person lines up at the bank, or to board an airplane. Or a group of dogs line up waiting for dinner bowl. But non-living things like emails can be in a queue. Or work orders can be in a queue.

[@BlackSmokeDMax]

Hmm, never thought about it that way, but yeah! Not that we are taught that rule explicitly, but it does seem to work that way.

[@rdfox76]

...dogs line up waiting for food? In what universe? Every dog I've ever seen tends to just mob for food...

[@fixpacifica]

Here in the San Francisco area, it's not unusual for people to be told to "queue up" or go to the "entry queue".

[@samhutchison9582]

We say lining up. Queue is rarely used and more of a fancy term.

[@jeffburdick869]

15:18 High school football players are free to play at any school they choose. So colleges spend fortunes recruiting the top players and building facilities designed to try to impress recruits.

[@forreal2398]

I have been to Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska several times and the endzone seating u asked about are the players small. I will say smaller than if u were more to the front closer to the field. But not bad. The upper tier seating to the east would be more of a problem with seeing the players on the field as its much higher up than the other seating in the stadium.

[@samhutchison9582]

Often times they will put the coach's office in those end zone buildings. It adds atmosphere and can be a recruiting tool. At Husky Stadium, you can play video games from the coach's office on the big screen in the opposite end zone.

[@ehilliker90]

Nebrakas stadium had been upgraded since this video was made. I beleive the capacity is around 90000 now. Should see if you can find a video for Nebraskas new halftime tradition. Cheers

[@michaelkehm8031]

I live in Lincoln Nebraska and it’s by the downtown with al lot of bars and restaurants. Also on game day it’s the third largest city in Nebraska.

[@jakeryan4545]

A sizable minority of tickets are student season tickets which are alot cheaper. It's been a little while for me (2000s), but when I was at MSU they ended up coming out to like 12 bucks a game I think.

In 2000, Penn State was $17 for a student, $40-150 for the rest.

[@ClarkJ2265]

Don’t be confused by the title.These aren’t the 10 biggest college football stadiums, they’re the stadiums of a college football conference called the Big Ten which are 14 schools. There are multiple college conferences: Big Ten SEC, ACC, big 12, etc.

[@jerseydevs2000]

One of the main differences between college and NFL stadiums is bench seats in college stadiums vs NFL stadiums with mostly individual chair-backed seating. The latter is more comfortable, but then it can limit the number of spectators based on the configuration of the stadium. Bench seats are cheaper, of course, and allow for a lot more people... even if your place on a particular bench is still designated byh a seat number on your ticket. Many university stadia do have areas of chair-backed seating for people who donate a lot of money to a university's sports teams - called athletic donors or "boosters".

[@harrystinefelt8765]

Maryland's garage is a multi-story parking structure, not just a lot with 120 spaces. Most of the students who attend home games at these universities live on campus...

I'm a huge college football fan and love getting to go to stadiums I haven't been to yet. I grew up in Ann Arbor and had season tickets, so I've been there many many times. But I've also been lucky enough to go to a few other Big Ten stadiums; Spartan Stadium, Ohio Stadium, and Ross-Ade Stadium. I've been to a couple more Power 5 conference stadiums; Notre Dame Stadium, Rose Bowl,and Heinz Field; yes, the Pitt Panthers play there. Also, whatever they call the stadium they play the Citrus Bowl in now, I went to for the 1999 Citrus Bowl. I'd love to go and see more Big Ten stadiums, it's definitely a Bucket List of mine. Other non-Big Ten/Power 5 schools I've been to; EMU's Rynearson Stadium and WMU's Waldo Stadium. I can't wait for college football to start again; only 5 and a half months away......

[@bigbake132]

Michigan Stadium might be "officially" listed at 107, 601 but they regularly have crowds of 114,000+ and hold the record at 115,000+ for the largest attendance for a football game.

[@bigapplebucky]

The gate receipts are significant, but the really big money is now TV with the Big Ten Network. The new contract is for $7 billion over 7 years.

[@azul93gt38]

The BigTen before expansion were all midwestern public land grant schools with the exception of Northwestern University. The stadiums would therefore be owned by their states so funding would be financed by taxes, bonds, and alumni donations as well as funds generated by the program itself. These institutions are the prides of their respective states.

[@jdredwine7224]

In college you recruit the best high school players in the nation and try to convince them to come play at your University, so the recruiting lounge is for recruits who have come to visit your campus on that weekend. Game days are some of the top recruiting weekends with usually 50+ recruits in attendance. Yes, Michigan Stadium is the Big House. As for building a Stadium the size of The Horseshoe, Minnesota and Baylor have built 2 of the newest stadiums at $266M and $303M. They are more than half the size. Ohio State's stadium would probably cost around $700M brand new. Who builds these stadiums? TV Contracts are massive multi billion dollar per year deals. Rich Alumni also chips in. You should do SEC stadiums next.

[@bryonensminger7462]

That's why it's known as the horse shoe , before they did the expansion and closed in the end of the stadium and added the upper decks it really did look like a horse shoe , yeah you guessed it I'm from Ohio lived less then 8 miles from there my whole 64 years

College football is also a multi billion industry lol. Fox alone pays almost 3 billion for the big ten conference. ESPN CBS etc pays the same thing for some conferences

[@DwayneSmith]

Stadiums renovations are paid for by the school. Sometimes with bonds backed by the state, oftentimes by huge donations from boosters (extremely wealthy alumni). For example, Phil Knight of Nike has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to his alma mater, The University of Oregon. Being a college football coach isn't just about winning, a very important part of the job is keeping boosters happy so that they keep giving. It's just as much about fundraising as it is football.

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

College football tickets are cheaper than pro tickets I think, and on top of that students (of the school in question) usually get a discount. Nonetheless, if you're regularly filling all the seats, those tickets add up, and then on top of that you've got the concession stand revenue, plus merch, so you do eventually reach a point where you can afford to upgrade the stadium, with enough left over to pay for some athletic scholarships.

[@johnnyp5216]

Stadium upgrades and such are generally paid for by boosters. Like donors. So they are privately funded through donations.
