The Big 10 Conference seems to run college football when it pertains to stadium sizes. The three largest football stadiums in the country all belong to Big 10 schools (Penn State, Michigan, and Ohio State). Yet, Ohio Stadium has easily seen more recent success than that of any other Big 10 stadium on this list.

Hearing the Buckeye fans chant “O-H-I-O” throughout the entirety of “The Shoe” is something every fan watching OSU games on television expects to witness. However, the unique shape, massive size, and overall tradition present at this venue make it one of the three best stadiums that any college football fan could visit.

It’s said that football fans born in Ohio are born Buckeyes which makes OSU football special largely to the entire state. Ohio State is the professional team in Columbus and most of the locals adore this program.

Ohio Stadium is one of the older stadiums on this list, first opened for the 1922 season. It encompasses 10 acres and has fit more than 105,000 fans, standing room only, on multiple occasions.
