Even fewer places have as awesome a tradition as touching Howard's Rock and running down the hill as the Tigers get to do at every home game. Wake up the echoes because there are few more historic places to catch a college football game. Whether it's Touchdown Jesus overlooking the stadium or the mesmerizing pageantry that comes with a Fighting Irish home game, a trip to South Bend to soak up Notre Dame Stadium should be on every fan's bucket list. Recent upgrades to the venue have brought the site into the 21st century without getting rid of the charm.
While some of the old stadium's charming features -- like the ground moving when the fans sway to the fight song -- might be lost, there are few places that have a better atmosphere with the always-standing fans and long list of traditions.
The Horseshoe is a nickname that is instantly recognizable to many college football fans and something synonymous with the Buckeyes' long tradition. Easily among the loudest places in the country on a Saturday afternoon, it's hard to top the dotting of the "I" or hearing , of your closest friends sing "Carmen Ohio.
Don't let the relatively paltry capacity fool you, this is one of the loudest places to watch a football game in the country thanks to its unique design coupled with plenty of screaming Ducks fans. The amenities are top-notch -- as you would expect from a place that's been glitzed up with Phil Knight's money -- and the recent facilities additions nearby make Eugene a game day delight.
You can go up and down the West Coast and find great stadiums, but nobody has the view from Husky Stadium beat. With the place set on a perch overlooking Montlake, one can "sailgate" on the water before a big game or simply stroll around a fantastic campus in a great city to tailgate. A night game in Death Valley is an experience like no other thanks to a quality stadium and sea of purple and gold faithful screaming at the top of their lungs.
The tailgate scene is unbelievable for just about everybody who hasn't been before, and a night game against a big opponent has been known to cause a legitimate earthquake or two. We're focused on the venue when it hosts the bowl game of the same name, but it's still very much a great place to watch a football game when UCLA calls the place home especially lately.
As anybody who has been, there's a reason "The Granddaddy of Them All" is held here every New Year's Day and there is no greater sight in all of college football than seeing two great teams battling back and forth while the sun sets on the San Gabriel Mountains in the background. Of the 78 different players who have won the Heisman Trophy, there are more players who never played one NFL game 14 and more players who went undrafted 15 than players who went on to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame 9.
That mixed bag of results among Heisman winners in the NFL means there are plenty of players who simply did not pan out as a pro. Here is a look at the biggest disappointments among recent Heisman winners in the NFL. This is a ranking of the last 25 Heisman Trophy winners going back to , not based just on what they accomplished in the NFL, but also taking into account the college football achievements of each award winner. Pitt by far had the best attendance of the 4 schools that I listed, and that is thanks in part to consistent appearances in bowl games, and a rich football history filled with a Heisman Trophy winner, and several big-name NFL players.

There is also public transportation that runs approximately every 6 minutes that will take students from campus to right near the dome.
So, Georgia State has been filling the Georgia Dome, on average, to 53 percent of the Collegiate capacity and about 20 percent of it's full capacity.

Observations: The Georgia State - Georgia Dome situation is by no means an ideal one, with only around 15, people per game, it seems like a waste of a stadium with a capacity of over 70, But, Georgia State is still in it's infancy as a football program and the Dome was a good choice for the time being as the program got its footing.
Also, with the news that the Atlanta Braves are moving to Cobb County, the Panthers announced they would be purchasing Turner Field and re-purposing the 30, seat stadium into the new home of Georgia State football, so the Panthers will not be in the Georgia for much of the forseeable future and will move into a facility more suited for their needs.

Observations: On the surface it seems like there is a healthy relationship between the University and the Stadium where they are filling seats, but as the team's performance has dipped in recent years the attendance has also seen a dip. The proximity and quality of the stadium is also a plus, and with the free shuttle provided by the University there are no issues for students going back and forth from games.
