Top 20 college football stadiums you must see in your lifetime

5. Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium

School: Texas
Location: Austin, Texas
Capacity: 100,119

DKR plays host to another legendary program in college football that has fallen upon hard times. Yet, many expect the Horns to return to relevance again soon under the direction of former Houston Cougars head coach Tom Herman, who was hired soon after the firing of Charlie Strong.

The post-Mack Brown era has not been a friendly site in DKR. Having witnessed DKR in the thick of downtown Austin, it’s an incredible sight to see, even from the depths of the highway on I-35. The state of Texas boasts many competitive programs from Texas A&M to Baylor to Texas Tech, but UT seems to almost always reign king in the size of the fanbase and on the recruiting trail.

Fans in Austin will always put together a top-notch tailgating scene outside DKR that would be fun for many people, even some that are not huge college football fans.

Even just seeing the field from the stands, you can almost imagine running onto the turf at DKR with the American Flag and Longhorn on your helmet. Texas Football means something not just to UT fans, but to the entire state of Texas.
