One thing is certain in college football – home crowds can make a difference, and the loudest and most influential come crowds can give their team a distance advantage in a game.

Here are the 25 best home-field advantages in the game today.

25. University of Washington: Husky Stadium

For the last 100 years, the Washington Huskies have played their home games inside some variety of Husky Stadium. Originally built in 1920, Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium has gone through a ton of different renovations, going from a 30,000 seat stadium to one that hosted over 76,000 fans in a 1995 game against the Army Black Knights.

Dubbed “The Greatest Setting in College Football,” Husky Stadium has seen a lot of good football since the program came into existence. The winners of two national titles, the Huskies are still one of the more dominant programs in all of college football and are a perennial contender in a tough Pac-12.

What makes Husky Stadium so special is its design, which in turn makes it one of the louder stadiums in the country. Also, fans can sail to the stadium, affectionately known as “sailgating,” which makes it one of the more unique experiences in college football. The program has won over 720 games overall and Husky Stadium has played a big role in their success.
