14. Beaver Stadium

School: Penn State
Location: Happy Valley, Penn.
Capacity: 106,572

Pennsylvania State University and Happy Valley happily play host to the second-largest stadium in college football, only behind Michigan Stadium.

Recovering from the Jerry Sandusky scandal was no easy task for Penn State and the Nittany Lion faithful, but this is still a tremendous atmosphere in Happy Valley. The fans rallied around the program and showed support for those victims in the scandal ever since it happened just a few years ago which has been and continues to be a fantastic thing to see.

The great history of Penn State football lives on through the current talented offensive duo of quarterback Trace McSorley and running back Saquon Barkley that led to a Big 10 Title and a Rose Bowl berth. PSU fans also got to witness their Nittany Lions defeat the Ohio State Buckeyes at home, giving OSU their only loss of the regular season.

PSU was one of only seven teams to have an average attendance of over 100,000 last season. Just by the sheer size of the stadium, it’s hard to not be impressed. Yet, the view of Pennsylvania’s mountains in the background combined with the bright white color of the U that outlines the back half of the stadium are just two of the things that make Beaver Stadium unique.

The Big 10 has many great stadiums to visit, but it’s hard to top the experience you get from seeing Happy Valley and its crown jewel, Beaver Stadium.
