Toughest place to play?
Where do you guys think the toughest place to play is? Mention personal experiences if you have some. I'm curious to see if all of you will pick the Shoe or will go with somewhere else.

The Swamp, Death Valley, Kyle Field, Neyland Stadium, and the Horseshoe all have to be on a level of their own. Personally, I have to go with the Horseshoe, we've been the most consistent team the last 4-5 years, and we rarely ever lose at Home.
On Bucknuts theres a thread on Autzen Stadium, apparently, some Ducks and Wolverines say that the 58,000 set stadium is louder than the Horseshoe?

I know Autzen gets crazy loud, for a small stadium. It has something to do with the acoustics and the placement of the student section. But Autzen is notorious for its noise level.

I have been to three stadiums in my life. The first one was Northwestern against OSU in 2004 and it was nothing. Only like 40,000 people showed. This past year I was at the Shoe for the Texas OSU game and the Michigan OSU game in AA. You cannot compare the two. Michigan may have somthing like 10,000 more fans in the stadium, but they get done and turn on the team when they being to lose and are just dead quite when they lose. If you are winning in AA, you are gonna be just fine thnks to the fans.
I have never been to any SEC stadium, but those crazy Southerners take their football seriously, so I would assume those stadiums can be pretty rough to play in. |

I'd have to go with theShoe based on noise and size alone. I've also heard that the "Autzen Zoo" is pretty tough, but until Oregon becomes a consistent winner, it doesn't really merit this kind of recognition. Our game in Happy Valley last October was about as hostile as I've ever seen a crowd though.

I purposely left Crappy Valley off of my list because no one even cared about PSU before this year, theyve had one good year in the last 10 years, I think it will be back to normal next year, since they lost most of their team.
