20. Doak Campbell Stadium

School: Florida State
Location: Tallahassee, Fla.
Capacity: 79,560

If one stadium just missed the cut it was that of the Florida State Seminoles at Doak Campbell Stadium. It’s likely that you could hear the echo of the chop chant even during the offseason months.

There’s likely to be multiple Noles fans upset, to say the least, with not being in the top 15. But there are so many great options to choose from. FSU averaged an attendance of 76,800 fans in the 2016 season.

Doak Campbell is just one of three FBS programs in Florida that have solid programs. Yet, with the Miami Hurricanes losing their legendary home at the Orange Bowl nearly a decade ago, Doak Campbell and Ben Hill Griffin are really the only noteworthy college football stadiums in the state. And the Florida Gators averaged more than 10,000 fans per game in “The Swamp” last season than that of the Noles’ fans at Doak Campbell.

If you happen to make a sports trip to Florida, Doak Campbell is still a sight that you would not want to miss. The talent that has rolled through Tallahassee in recent years is mind-boggling. Head coach Jimbo Fischer consistently recruits FSU into the top 10 class rankings.

The memories of players like Jameis Winston, Dalvin Cook, E.J. Manuel, Jalen Ramsey, and Christian Ponder, just to name a few recent top tier talents to play at Doak Campbell, should still be fresh in the minds of FSU fans. There’s been some great Seminole teams, especially the 2013-14 National Championship team, to play at Doak Campbell in recent memory.
