Autzen Stadium ranked as one of the top atmospheres in college football

Autzen has had the reputation of being one of the toughest places to play for opponents, but how does it rank with other stadiums?

Before the Autzen expansion in 2002, the stadium was figured to be one of the loudest stadiums in college football. When the capacity increased to 56,000, that noise level went to an 11.

But how does the home of the Oregon Ducks compare to other places in the country in terms of atmosphere? There are stadiums with a lot more people inside and the atmosphere of those places can’t hold a candle to Autzen.

According to CBS Sports, there are a few places that rank a bit higher than the friendly confines of Autzen Stadium, but not many. As expected, Autzen ranks as the best stadium on the West Coast, beating out the Rose Bowl.

Here are 10 college football stadiums around the nation with the best atmospheres.
