1. Iowa — Kinnick Stadium
There is nowhere else in the Big Ten where you can be so close to the game — I once sat with my feet on the field in the end zone. More than that, Kinnick has a classic feel, with the brick and arches, and a welcoming vibe. You aren’t likely to be spit on by the home fans. The new tradition of waving to the patients and families watching from up high at Children’s Hospital makes this a bucket-list college football venue.


“Another old building with so much charm and a crazy fan base that just adores their football team, good or bad. Iowa is college football at its purest. Doesn’t get much better. The new children’s hospital wave is probably the best thing in the game today.” — Nick Baumgardner, Detroit Free Press

I actually agree with the order of his entire list.

Is Penn State not a little low?

I think the problem with PSU's stadium is there are many seats that are so far away from the field you might as well watch from home. You could make a case it's better than Spartan Stadium because of the atmosphere.

Ross-Ade sucks

How in the world can Kinnick get a high rating when the south endzone is such a poor piece of construction. Well, anyway, that is what our negative Nellie's keep preaching.

Went to PSU for the first time two years ago. Been to all of the major B1G stadiums and the atmosphere there is equal to or possibly better than Kinnick. That place is fucking huge and every single person in there is going nutso. Even though their capacities are super close, Penn State puts Michigan to shame atmosphere-wise.

Camp Randall is also a stadium every B1G fan should visit in their lifetime, but only once. Their fans are pukes and it’s miserable being a visitor there if you aren’t near any fellow good guys.

Northwestern sucks balls because I’ve never seen a fanbase (if you can call it that) so indifferent to their team. No electricity whatsoever but I guess a student section made up of 90% future doctors, lawyers, and “journalists” is about the stiffest crowd one could imagine. Maybe it makes sense.

Just because you’re 142 years old and can’t climb anything over a 2° incline doesn’t mean we should leave the south end zone the way it is. The sooner they match it to the north (which they will) the better.

I knew you wouldn’t leave me on your block list for long.

Yeah thanks for catching that. I got too many accounts.

Dammit. I try to quote @HuckFinn who said he blocked me, reply to myself by mistake, and now you guys think I have an alt. Now I have to leave the board permanently.

Is there anyway I can go on Twitter and claim fake news? I don’t know how social media works. Maybe someone here could help me sign up for Facebook. Or show me how to do one of those Instagram apologies?

Did you block yourself?

 

[HawkGold]

The problem is there are several on here with more than one ID and one that has many (at least one person).

I can hardly keep the one I have straight.

@HuckFinn said he blocked me but liked my post earlier giving him shit.

Then I ruined the joke like the lame-o I am by replying to my own post instead of his.

do you think they will add to the top of the south endzone to match the north's in height? Why don't hey fill in that small patch of grass in the south east endzone as well with seats, they did the south west side.
