Oklahoma makes EA Sports’ list of toughest places to play

Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium is one of the toughest places to play, according to “College Football 25.”

The highly-anticipated release of [autotag]EA Sports[/autotag]’ new college football video game is less than a month away. News continues to trickle out about what the game will look and feel like.

[autotag]College Football 25[/autotag] will be released on July 19, and the company has been relentlessly marketing the game on social media.

On Tuesday, “CFB 25” released their rankings of the top ten toughest places to play in college football. The Oklahoma Sooners found their way onto the list.

[autotag]Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium[/autotag] was ranked as the eighth-toughest environment in college football. Oklahoma also ranked No. 5 out of six [autotag]SEC[/autotag] teams to make the top ten.

According to EA Sports, homefield advantage will play a pivotal role in the game, as the creators try to make it as immersive and realistic as possible. It’s a pleasant surprise that playing as the Sooners on Owen Field will give players a leg up on their competition.

These rankings will certainly be met with plenty of logic and rational thinking. Surely, no one will disagree on the order of the teams included.

For comparison, Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium ranked a full eleven spots above Texas‘ Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on the list. Out of the Top 25, only three stadiums made the list that are west of the I-35 corridor. Oregon‘s Autzen Stadium, Utah’s Rice-Eccles Stadium and Boise State’s Albertsons Stadium claim the best environments of the country’s western half. Texas A&M‘s Kyle Field was a controversial choice to top the list at No. 1.
