Honorable Mention
Teams 11 through 25 from the above "The Top 25 Stadiums Ratings Breakdown", listed in alphabetical order by school
- Air Force (Falcon) - A supreme show of force, air and otherwise.
- Army (Michie) - Maybe the most stirring setting on a Saturday afternoon.
- BYU (LaVell Edwards) - Wholesome crazies.
- Cal (Memorial) - If the Bears won consistently and drew more fans this place would be in the top 10. Beautiful.
- Clemson (Memorial) - Death Valley to you, me and the ACC.
- Colorado (Folsom Field) - You can't beat a clear sky, mile high and the Flatirons lurking behind the stadium.
- Fresno St. (Bulldog) - The atmosphere and fans give the Bulldogs a huge advantage at home.
- Michigan (Michigan) - Surprisingly mellow for a crib that draws 100,000-plus.
