Ranking every ACC Football stadium from worst to first
By Austin Lloyd
ACC football teams are home to intimidating sceneries within the world of college football, but where does each one lie amongst its own league partners?
A stadium is a big part of any sport. There is a reason that the whole concept of “home-field advantage” exists, after all.
It serves as a method of intimidation, especially when filled to the brim with screaming fans and loud marching band music. These practices fuel the drive of home teams nationwide and result in some of the most notorious locations in American sports.
In the Atlantic Coast Conference, the league that possesses outstanding programs like Miami, Florida State, and Clemson, a stadium is a huge percentage of what makes them so hard to topple when facing them on the road. Meanwhile, other ACC schools that have fewer students and little historical relevance fail to make their sites anywhere near as impactful.
With that in mind, it would be exceptionally fitting to rank said sites (including Notre Dame’s) amongst one another, to unveil the university that holds the title for the best stadium in the entire conference. The criteria that each ACC football stadium will be expected to meet are crowd size, volume, notoriety, surrounding environment, and general appearance. Let’s get started.
