The largest college stadiums have more capacity than than any and all of the NFL stadiums. Also, nobody is studying on Saturday night at LSU.

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

Rose Parade is over 100 years old and goes on for about 2 hours or more and includes dozens of large floats as well as dozens of marching bands from all over the country (and sometimes from other countries) along with equestrian groups, dance groups and more. It is huge!!

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

Yep I literally watch the Rose Parade every year just like watching the Thanksgiving day one.

[@patriciab8876]

The Rose Parade is held on New Year's Day every year in Pasadena, California. In order to enter a float in the parade every inch of every float must be covered with flowers or other natural materials, such as leaves, seeds or bark. And the floats are unbelievably magnificent. Some include automated elements which also must comply with these rules. The floats are judged, of course, in many different categories.

[@lorihagerty7833]

There is nothing in the world like the Rose Bowl Parade. Try to find some footage maybe on KZbin. You will truly be amazing at all the beautiful floats. 🎉

[@sikksotoo]

They should react to a video about the Rose Parade

[@marydavis5234]

I was in my local drum corps as a teenagee, we were invited to be in the Rose Bowl parade, we didn’t go as we hade no money to go.

[@jamesmarciel5237]

16:56 the reason “The 12th Man” is trademarked and protected by Texas A&M University is because of its meaning. Its reference to the fans, or in this case the student body. It stems from the 1922 Cotton Bowl Classic bowl game. Texas A&M was playing the defending National Champion Center College. A&M suffered so many injuries in the first half that the coach, D.X. Bible, was concerned about being able to field a team for the second half of the game. So at half time a student, (E. King Gill, who had been on the the team but left after the regular season to play for the A&M basketball team,) who was in the stands was asked to suit up as a possible substitute player. Since that day, every student (and indeed every fan capable) in attendance at every game has stood for the entire game. To show their support and willingness to actually suit up and physically play in the game should the school and team need them to. E. King Gill, was the actual, original and literal “12th man”.

[@duke1444]

Still telling that lie at fish camp are they?

[@blueptconvertible]

The crazy thing about Michigan's stadium, besides its size, is that it's a bowl dug out of the ground. As you walk up to it from the side it doesn't look like much until you're inside and it's just a huge crater of a stadium inside.

[@pebblesanddirt]

It’s worth noting that most of these stadiums have “bleacher” seating, instead of individual seats that fold down. So it’s possible to fit more people inside.

[@netmeg]

I attended every Michigan home game from 1969 to 2009 (my mom from 1952 to 2009, including through four pregnancies) It really has to be seen from the inside to appreciate it. We had to stop going because we were on row 70 and my mom couldn't do the stairs anymore. We live less that 3 miles from it, so we can open the door and hear the crowd on football Saturdays.

[@csnide6702]

the seats are WAY away from the field...... at row 70 you would be 100-150 yards from the field.......

[@netmeg]

@@csnide6702 It was high enough to see the entire field, and section 4 put us between the 15 and 20 yard line. We could see most of the game just fine (and what we couldn't see on the field we could see on the scoreboards when they went in)

[@RogCBrand]

The Rose Parade in Pasadena has been going since 1890. The idea was to point out that when other parts of the country had snow, California had flowers blooming.

[@causticchameleon7861]

You should see the traffic going to Sanford Stadium in Georgia. The highways to Athens are back up for miles during football season.

[@Macdelaven]

I would imagine that all the stadiums had less seating when they opened than they do now. Michigan's Big House had only 84,001 seating capacity when it opened in 1927. The Rose Parade floats must be made out of organic outer material. It is one of the best annual parades to watch.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

Yep lots of Roses.

[@TahiriVeila13ABY]

Here in Madison, Camp Randall's initial capacity was under 12k of its now 80k. All these old stadiums have had changes, massive changes even. As far as the Rose Parade... every time I see it, well it confounds me. I can't imagine it's appeal to anyone under the age of 75.

[@gracielynn9623]

As a UAB fan, I can tell you we haven’t played at Legion field in over two years. We hav our own 47,000 seat stadium now that’s in touch with the 21st century. It’s called protective stadium.

[@lagronemikal]

Bryant-Denny Stadium (Tuscaloosa, Alabama) is close enough I can open my front door and see it. The light shows they put on during night games are insane. 101K people. It's a good time.

[@jasonbrown097]

Roll tide🐘

[@knavehart]

while the capacity is 107,000 when you add in all the people at the game working, security, media, concessions, plus the team and staff Michigan set their attendance record at 115,109 in 2013 at a game against Notre Dame. They also set the attendance record for the largest crowd at a hockey game, at 104,000 in 2010. The Michigan Stadium, from the outside is deceptively small, and much of the bowl, and the entire field is well below street level. When it first opened, the street level was the top of the stands (seating about 80,000) but then expanded up another 20 rows or so, bringing over 100,000. It was designed and built in a way to easily allow a second deck, which designer Fielding Yost envisioned could allow up to 150,000 people to attend. (But I would bet it would be closer to 125-130,000)

[@williamhamilton6643]

I'll remember that Notre Dame game as long as I live. It was the best of what college football is about. But it's also probably why they no longer play Michigan. Go Blue!!

[@Fridge56Vet]

It's actually somewhat rare for a large new college football stadium to be built. Most of these just get major renovations. Keep in mind that most of these are taxpayer funded institutions, so building an opulent, multi-billion dollar stadium is likely frowned upon (the team training facilities are another matter). Most are also on campus, so likely limited space to build new there without tearing down the existing stadium 1st. Many of the new builds are either returning the stadium to campus or replacing an inadequate one.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

Snap Dragon stadium is the newest one.

[@coletripp4814]

Most of these stadiums are built with bond funding and donor dollars.

[@SuperDuperHappyTime]

@@runrafarunthebestintheworld The one before it, Protective Stadium in Birmingham AL, has one hell of a story to go along with it's construction. In 2014, after the team had it's first non-losing season in 10 years, the U-Alabama board killed the football team. There's a lot of hearsay involving Alabama worried about another in-state team gaining ground in college football, reality was that it had to do with balancing the athletics budget, and the Track team was getting ew and really good deals while the football team wasn't. A fund-raising campaign from a few UAB millionaires led to a deal to restore the football program, but their donations were put toward a new stadium that was closer to the campus. For a long time, UAB was operating out of the infamous Legion Field. Well after Alabama and Auburn stopped hosting big games and the Iron Bowl there. Thing was that the area was far from campus and in a neighborhood that was, for lack of a better word, was shady. Not to mention that even if the biggest game in UAB history were to happen, they'd totally be unable to pack the stadium with fans. Getting the new stadium, and revitalizing the program with the coaching staff that was initially present was a boon to the program. They've had winning seasons since, been 4-2 in bowl games, and won their conference's championship twice.

[@cypher515]

I'm remembering the Knight House at UCF, currently called FBC Mortgage Stadium, which I think was shockingly inexpensive at the time (it hasn't hit 100 million in _today's_ dollars yet) but from what I can tell, they got what they paid for. No shade for a sunny day in Florida, cracked façade (I did use spell check to get the proper character there), no water fountains... and so tiny that I bet some of their mandated Big 12 home games against Oklahoma or Texas or the like, are going to be moved to what I still call the Citrus Bowl, Camping World Stadium (which for some reason Madden '23 always has the announcers treat a hypothetical Orlando team's stadium as if it IS Camping World Stadium. Weird /aside).

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

To be fair, a large number of the great football players did NOT come from major colleges with the best stadiums. Many come from small colleges in smaller conferences and sometimes even division 3 teams.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

Tom Brady came from Michigan though. While Derrick Henry came from Alabama. Lamar came from Louisville which is definitely a small school so..

[@areguapiri]

Exactly. Many hall of Fame players came from historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs).

If it helps you understand how so many seats are sold you should be informed that people pay to see their practices on certain days when they allow it.

[@bradparnell614]

The stadium for the University of Louisville, L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium (formerly Papa John's Cardinal Stadium), was built in 1998 holding 42,000. It's been expanded twice now and holds 61,000. Basketball is our focus in KY though. Our basketball arena holds 22,000. The arena for the state school, The University of Kentucky, holds 20,000 for basketball. Their football stadium originally held over 57,000 back in 1973 but has been expanded to seat over 67,000, so you can see even where basketball is king, football is still a pretty big deal.

[@daveowens9849]

Kentucky basketball? Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers! Cream 'n Crimson!

[@seanwalters1977]

The fun part with the weather report before MSU games is that late in the season you'll hear the PA guy say something like "The weather forecast today... winds out of the NE at 15 mph, 65% chance of rain. Today's current temperature is 35 degrees... It's a beautiful day for football!" and the crowd roars in approval lol Edit: video example kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3Wwo2aah7-fepI&ab_channel=EdwardAlberts

[@trekkiexb5]

In America...College sports, in particular football is MUCH BIGGER than professional sports. The exceptions are hockey and baseball. It is because college had teams before there were pro teams. You will find these stadiums are bigger than NFL and sell out more often than the NFL. Maybe not Green Bay Packers. Cheese heads are crazy!

Especially in the south and west. Until the Brooklyn Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in the 1950's major league pro sports didn't really exist south of the Washington DC area or west of St. Louis so college sports became a primary focus.

One of my favorite stadium fun facts is about Nebraska. During a game the stadium itself becomes the third largest city in the entire state of Nebraska. Lincoln being the largest city and home of the University.

[@YoWhatGoesHere]

Lincoln is the 2nd largest. Omaha is the largest.

[@cardiac19]

@@YoWhatGoesHere I stand corrected. I’ve never been to NE so I defiantly defer to you. Still a funny fact.

[@jeffreyr8618]

The craziest thing about this video is that it doesnt even include the attendance record of each stadium. The capacity listed is almost always exceeded during a high profile game with STANDING ROOM ONLY tickets. The big house in Michigan set the attendance record of 115,109 despite only being listed at 109,000 at the time.

[@darrengray1849]

The joke about Mantei’s girlfriend not being there is in reference to a former Notre Dame player, Mantei Te’o. He was “catfished” in 2012, where someone online pretended to be a woman, and got him to believe they were in a relationship.

[@chrissauter7501]

Video for the Big House is from the last minute of the 2015 Michigan/Miglchigan State game. That game is Michigan's 2nd most important game. Their most important game is against Ohio State. This is tje biggest collrge rivaly in America. Netflix has a documentary on it. The two states hate each other so much that cops will ticket cars from the other state on game day even if not doing anything wrong. The teo states even went to war with each other in the early 1800s over what was then a "major" port. The outcome of the war influenced how the states look like

[@warriyorcat]

"AND HE HAS TROUBLE WITH THE SNAP!!" such great words. truly iconic moment 11/10 (from an MSU fan who really hates Ohio State)

The largest sporting facility of any kind, anywhere in the world, is Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It has 257,325 permanent seats. There have been multiple events over 400,000 in paid attendance.

[@kelseyk530]

I would say that the second largest sporting event is the Kentucky Derby that seats 160,000+ people and holds tens if thousands more in the infield and around the stands. And it's been going on for over 200+ years.

[@tonyzook8984]

LOL!!! It went over their heads, come on now Brits must snort up too.

[@cypher515]

No idea if you got this one explained, but "Frosty in Lincoln" refers to Scott Frost, the head coach of Nebraska, who led the University of Central Florida to what I would call 'relative success' (good record, but not playing the best schools) and got hired by Nebraska and ended up doing horribly. It's weird because I'm a Notre Dame fan due to my Dad going there back in the 60's and 70's, but I also root for UCF because a friend went there, and it kind of bugs me that it's considered a stepping-stone school. It's got the second largest student enrollment in the nation, after all.

Texas A&M has been using the term 12th man since Jan 2, 1922 when a badly empty bench due to injuries persuaded coach, Dana Bible to call in a student from the stands, E. King Gill, to suit up and play the remainder of the game.

[@jeep146]

Was offered to buy some seats at Texas but at $100 a seat per game was not for me. Plus they were terrible seats. To get good seats like most stadiums you have to contribute to the sports program and purchase the entire season some have a lottery also. Most have had the better seats for many many years. Otherwise you either pay big bucks or sit in the section that requires oxygen up high. Probably the same at other big Universities. So if you visit America and think you can go to a game and watch the cheer leaders think again. Smaller universities and high school games are cheaper and usually just as much fun.

[@elizabethdameron5209]

I was in Boone (NC) when Appalachian State beat Michigan 😂. I think that’s the loss that’s referred to in that section.

Yes, these stadiums have all been heavily renovated since their first game. They would be unrecognizable to those early fans. When a team is doing well, all these stadiums will sell out generating a truck load of money for the schools.

[@donnywilliamson5807]

And just think it is possible for all 25 stadiums to be filled on a Saturday in the fall. Also most of the references you didn’t understand are about the teams coaches and either their poor performance or a scandal involving them or staff under them.

[@yugioht42]

Actually during Covid the seats were technically not empty as they were filled in with the cardboard cutouts that film companies use to make places look like it’s filled in. It’s because no one sold tickets for games but the players still did their thing. WWE and AEW did empty stadium matches in Orlando and Jacksonville. Basically trainee wrestlers from the back would come out and watch matches play out and learn from the guys in the ring. WWE Did the thunder dome concept where tons of monitors would be there with a live internet feed of people watching matches go on. The other companies basically shut down because they couldn’t get anyone together. Now everyone is back in the stadiums and it’s getting sold out again.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

Yep then WWE moved to Tampa at the trop to create the thunder dome.

[@pacmanc8103]

The phrase ‘The 12th Man’ was trademarked by the University in 1989 as exactly what you know it to mean - the stadium is that. Well-known in the conference. 2 professional teams - the Seahawks which had purchase a license to use it, and then another one (the Colts) just broke trademark law. I would assume knowingly. Many trademarks are very aggressively defended by their owners because they have value. I think that’s what happened here - doesn’t seem that crazy to me at all. The University sued the use/promotion of the phrase for the exact same purpose of the trademark.

[@lanceneill5259]

Most of these stadiums when built, did not have the capacity listed in the video. Over the years, seats were added.

Empty stadiums... or at least not fully packed, generally happen one of two ways. 1. You team is dominant and you are playing a TERRIBLE team. Even though all the tickets might be sold you can't always get people to show up for those games. 2. Your team is garbage, by the end of the year, nobody wants to show up and watch the team get beaten. It is isn't very common for the big schools but it can and does happen.

They moved to a more permanent home in Dodgers Stadium in 1962 -- Los Angeles Chargers of the AFL in 1960. They relocated to San Diego in 1961. -- when the Oakland Raiders moved to Los Angeles, the Raiders used the LA Colesieum from 1982 to 1994. They'd relocate back to Oakland. Then, eventually, to Las Vegas. -- it's hosted FIM Supercross, Monster Energy Supercross, trophy truck racing, monster truck racing, etc So.... safe to say, it's got quite the history!

The top of the college football pyramid has roughly 120 different universities. Of those 120 only like 40 of them are "big time" programs that will sell out their stadiums on a regular basis. There are a lot of reasons. 1. they only play 12 games a year, so scarcity. 2. most big universities are not in pro cities. Nebraska for example does not have a pro team so Nebraska is basically their pro team. This is the same for high school football too. 3. Most of the big universities have roughly 30,000 to 50,000 students enrolled there any given year. Also, once your graduate from a university you are now apart of that university. Most of these universities have been around for 100 plus years and alumni of these universities have been giving back for centuries through donated money. Most of that money helps build these massive stadiums and fund things like scholarships and libraries...etc. Also alumni love attending and supporting THEIR university.

Tim tebo was Florida’s major player under coach Urban Meyer. He went on to play professionally but was benched in his first season and never actually played a single game and switched to broadcasting which he is actually better at doing. Urban left college football to try the professional league though earning a spot on a team he wasn’t great at his job and was relegated to the backup teams. Meyer disappeared from football and hasn’t been heard from in some time. Currently Florida university is struggling to get their act together in the upcoming season as they replaced the quarterback who graduated already.

The Big House (Michigan Stadium) has sold at least 100,000 tickets every home game since Oct. 25, 1975. The play they show in the box is what I (and many other MSU fans) refer to as "trouble with the snap". Mentioning this in the vicinity of Michigan fans will elicit a strong feelings of embarrassment and despair, because if they hadn't fumbled they would have won. I would love to see you react to this (and other great/legendary American football plays) if you haven't already done so. Another fun fact is that Ohio State's stadium (#3) has blue and yellow in their stadium because of a bet made with Michigan on the first game ever played there. Another good video topic would be best college football rivalries - I'm partial to MSU-UM and UM-OSU (fuck Ohio State).

Keeping it in the area, Michigan and Michigan State vs Notre Dame, and I agree, the whole state of Ohio should be leveled and turned into a parking lot with an expressway to Ann Arbor.

The LA coliseum also hosts the nascar clash, pre season race 6:00

[@shawnmitchell3559]

You should react to High School football stadium sizes in Texas.

I’d say most, if not all of these stadiums sell out every home game.

[@Gashouse69]

The season kicks off for my Gamecocks Sept.2 I'm ready!

[@Foxstar1387]

Wigan DW stadium is a tad over 25k capacity. the usual turnout is around 12k for football and 13k for rugby. Even in the prem it was rare to get a sell out with average turnout at 21k

The rock mentioned at 3:15 refers to crack cocaine.

Joe Namath was NOT an Alabama native....he grew up in Beaver Falls, PA...a town in Westsylvania.

[@duhdoy08]

Needs updating. Florida state keeps reducing capacity. New club zone will reduce it further. Apparently fsu admin wants prices to rise do they're decreasing supply.

Millie forgot to wear a helmet again.⛑

[@jeremygilbert7989]

Capacity isn't everything. Autzen Stadium at the University of Oregon only has an official capacity of 54,000 but has managed to pack 60,000 in and is consistently rated one of the top ten loudest stadiums in the country on par with schools with 100k stadiums in terms of decibel levels. It's even earned the moniker of "The House of Loud", a shame to see it snubbed here.

Go Vols!

Hi

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

3:10 the other white rock is cocaine

[@josephcernansky1794]

"A DIFFERENT kind of (WHITE) rock."...with a picture of a guy snorting up his nose?!!

[@HarveyWallbangers2]

Alabama’s stadium isn’t really empty. He was referring to the small number of tickets that get allocated to the opposing team. They sometimes go unfulfilled because of Alabama’s dominance, so the tickets are then sold to Alabama fans.

[@stephensequichie2264]

Oklahoma stadium is bigger now. Some of these are a little old.

[@Howiedoing]

Maybe a Friday night lights show reaction at some point on the channel

[@ralphwilson6859]

Alabama and Auburn sell out on all home games

[@TahiriVeila13ABY]

All these old stadiums have undergone significant changes in the decades (century plus in the case of a few) that they have existed. Giant college only stadiums don't really get built anymore, they just modify the old giants. You can't really build a billion dollar stadium for a university like you can for an NFL team, but you can spend 10's of millions or hundreds of millions here and there over the decades. These old stadiums are far more enjoyable to watch a game in (imo) than whatever new soulless monstrosity that's built for any given NFL team (Lambeau field in Green Bay being the exception for the NFL, as it's not going anywhere). With these old stadiums you also know they're going to still be there in a couple decades. They may look different, but they will still have the history.

Not going to lie, I miss Coach O. LSU fired the Cajun & now have air conditioned helmets. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
