3. Mississippi State Bulldogs (Davis Wade Stadium)

Mississippi State has never been a particularly great college football program, holding a negative winning percentage and never having obtained a national title. They have not even won their conference since 1941.

But all of this mediocrity has done nothing to keep them from flaunting a dapper stadium. Davis Wade has an overhead layout similar to that of a horseshoe, decked out with two high-reaching sides. The capacity of it all caps out at a final tally of just over 61,000 people. Not bad at all for a team of their traditional standards.

It’s not all bad, though. The Bulldogs have what is perhaps the toughest atmosphere of the names listed so far. The expected passion of a Southern fanbase — combined with the deafening rings of metal cowbells — makes for quite a chilling environment to impose upon all types of visiting adversaries.

Mississippi State is the last program on this list with an attendance limit of under 80,000. This next entry just might be the biggest insult of them all.
