Where USA TODAY Sports ranks the Swamp in its top 25 college football stadium rankings
The offseason of Football College offers the opportunity to think about some of the most open views of sport while we are waiting for the start of the favorite fall game of the nation.
Among the most common requests, focus on the quality of stadiums from various schools, which serve as a house of worship featuring a gridiron altar that fans pray every Saturday (with exceptions, of course). Many of these locations are among places of higher capacity in the country, which adds fuel to the fervent fire that burns from the interior during the fall months.
The sports writers of USA TODAY, Paul MYERBER and Blake TOPPMEYER, recently tried to resolve the subject by classifying the 25 best university football stadiums in the country, which included the Ben Hill Griffin stadium of the University of Florida, among the first 10. Known in the country under the name of “Swamp”, the Gators’s Home field was No. 9 in the classification of Texhy Kyle Field of A & M Aggies.
“As the former coach Steve Spurrier rightly said,” only Gators come out alive “from the Marais”, they offer. “Florida has won 71.4% of its home games against the dry opponents in the past 10 years, against 47.6% on the road in conference matches. This is the definition of domestic field advantage.”
Ranking The marsh according to other opinions
Curiously, toppmeyer ranked Ben Hill Griffin Stadium as the first football place of the Southeast Conference earlier this month. Despite this, Florida’s land is the fifth highest location in the dry in the last count.
On the other hand, Carter Bahns of the 247Sports assessment in May – in which he ranked the best atmospheres of university football – is in agreement with the last evaluation, also placing the marsh at No. 9.
