College Football: 25 best home-field advantages in the game today

14. University of Tennessee: Neyland Stadium

Between the 1926 and 1952 college football seasons, Robert Neyland helped bring the Tennessee Volunteers football program to prominence. Though the school broke ground on its football stadium in 1921. Originally named Shields–Watkins Field, there was no doubt that the school would eventually rename it Neyland Stadium.

While the playing field is still called Shields–Watkins Field, it is the Neyland name that is synonymous with Volunteers football. Since opening up in 1921, the stadium has gone through a ton of renovations and now seats 102,455 fans, making it the No. 2 largest in the SEC, the fourth largest in the United States and fifth in the world.

Outside of the sheer size of Neyland Stadium, the fan base that cheers on the Volunteers is one of the best in the country, giving Tennessee an incredible home-field advantage when they are there. Since the stadium opened, the Volunteers have won 75 percent of their home games and have had 36 seasons with a perfect home record.

During a 2004 matchup with the SEC rival Florida Gators, Neyland Stadium was filled to the brim, as the recorded attendance of that game was 109,061. The fans saw their Volunteers beat Florida, 30-28. Overall, Tennessee has won over 800 games as a football program and its incredible home fans are responsible for a lot of them.
