Ranking Big Ten stadiums

[UOducksTK1]

I actually posted this mainly because I want to see other people's experiences at Big Ten stadiums! For me, I'm going to be ranking mostly on vibe/crowd involvement.

1 Autzen Stadium – Oregon Ducks (Eugene, OR) It's not even close. I don't think I realize how blessed we are with Autzen. Smart fans, lots of noise, constant involvement regardless of outcome.
2 Kinnick Stadium – Iowa Hawkeyes (Iowa City, IA) Loud when it needs to be. Inside of stadium is more aesthetic than a lot of other Big Ten stadiums.
3 Ohio Stadium – Ohio State Buckeyes (Columbus, OH) All other games, I had pretty good seats. For this one I had nose bleeders, so that will take the noise level and vibe down a tad. But fans leaving halfway through the 3rd quarter when there was plenty of time to come back from 17. Unreal. Very quiet overall minus a couple first quarter touchdowns. Old stadium too. Boring fans. Meh. The big upside is it's big.
4 Ross-Ade Stadium – Purdue Boilermakers (West Lafayette, IN) Honestly despite how terrible their team is, their fan involvement was legit. Stadium is pretty average. Better than I thought.
5 Camp Randall Stadium – Wisconsin Badgers (Madison, WI) I'd say Camp Randall and Ohio Stadium were the biggest shockers. Camp Randall is talked up quite a bit, but I went to a top 25 game when they were hosting a top 10 Penn State team, and it was SO quiet! Jump around was amazing though. I feel like this stadium will be better once they get a real coach.
6 Rose Bowl – UCLA Bruins (Pasadena, CA) Historic, otherwise this would probably be last.
7 Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum – USC Trojans (Los Angeles, CA) Worst fans after the Huskies. Fun game cuz Oregon won without Dante, but man what a dump. Crowd only loud when things went good. When we went ahead, there was hardly a golf clap when USC would get a first down.
8 Gies Memorial Stadium / Memorial Stadium – Illinois Fighting Illini (Champaign, IL) Even with upsetting Oregon, this place was crickets. Student section was only 70% full. Nice people, and nice stadium though. Probably the quietest duck game I've been to.
