Best atmosphere. No bad fans and EVERYONE cheers (or they die) . Montana has nothing on 'em.

Picking your own stadium doesn't work for this, IMO. (Of course, I wouldn't pick the erector set Hornet Stadium in a million years.)

There are many factors here. Construction, capacity, percentage filled on a normal basis, decibels, age if the quality is good, etc. Old stadia with tradition should NEVER be replaced if they can be remodeled with the same "looks" to rehab structural deficiencies.

That said, I do think even though I've never been there, WA-Griz would be a worthy choice. There are also several back east that would have a good argument. I like what I've seen online for Williams Stadium.

While I'm not a Michigan fan, that stadium is certainly pleasing to the eye. The only drawback I can see is that given the 100K size, you better get there early. Compared to stadium size, there doesn't look like very much in the way of parking.

Do a Google Maps look of Ann Arbor. There isn't too much of a problem parking compared to other places, per capita, I wouldn't think. However, averaging 110K per game, I'm sure getting in to and out of the stadium isn't easy.

No disrespect to the ridiculous amount of Montana fans here, and I'm sure the stadium has an amazing atmosphere, but from an aesthetic POV, Griz Stadium is not much to marvel at. That's only my opinion though, and I've also never been there. However, the scenery looks nice.

it looks much better in person, but you could say that about most stadiums. but the fact the new addition has alcohol puts it over the top.

In my opinion:

1. Bridgeforth Stadium - JMU (after it's done)
2. Wash-Griz - Montana
3. Kidd Brewer - Appalachian State
4. Delaware Stadium
5. Stambaugh Stadium - Youngstown State

Montana State has a good chance of cracking the top 5, if they complete their expansion.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
