toughest places to play

Mr.FuzzyPants

The best damn pants in the land
As many know NCAA 2005 will be released shortly and I'm getting very excited as it looks like another excellent game in the series. One of the big additions this year is the homefield advantage of certain teams. There will be a list of the top 25 toughest places to play. I definately think the shoe is the toughest place to play especially the last 2 years, undefeated at home and our crowd attendance and noise level is spectacular. Of course I'm biased but i've also been to the shit house up north and it doesnt compare. What do you guys think?
 
Here's the complete list:

1. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Forida
2. Neyland Stadium, Tennessee
3. Ohio Stadium, Ohio State
4. Tiger Stadium, Louisiana State
5. Autzen Stadium, Oregon
6. Husky Stadium, Washington
7. Kyle Field, Texas A&M
8. Camp Randall Stadium, Wisconsin
9. Memorial Stadium, Nebraska
10. Sanford Stadium, Georgia
11. Kinnick Stadium, Iowa
12. Michigan Stadium, Michigan
13.Lane Stadium, Virginia Tech
14. Doak Campbell Stadium, Florida State
15. Notre Dame Stadium, Notre Dame
16. Clemson Memorial Stadium, Clemson
17. Beaver Stadium, Penn State
18. Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, Oklahoma
19. Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn
20. Carrier Dome, Syracuse
21. Bryant-Denny Stadium, Alabama
22. KSU Stadium, Kansas State
23. Mountaineer Field, West Virginia
24. Martin Stadium, Washington State
25. Miami Stadium, Miami

nope thats the thug stadium. the miami fans claim that winning should count and they are nearly unbeatable at home.

of course...this has nothing to do with their NFL calibre team that could win in my highschool stadium that seats about 500 people.

also, the hot weather is a factor.....apparently when miami has the ball it cools off?

edit: this is what pisses me off about miami fans. they think miami is the best in EVERY catagory of college football. i got banned at grassy because i tried to tell them miami isnt exactly a tradition rich scool.

you mean you have to go past '82 to have tradition...?? :biggrin: :tongue2: :biggrin: :tongue2: :biggrin:

Having a good team and having a big home field advantage is a big difference!! To bad cryami and the video game couldn't figure it out...

Where can I find more early rating info, I'd like to look at OSU player by player ratings. I need a quick fix until the 12th!

Edit: Interesting side note: The swamp is actually used for the enhanced stadium sounds in NCAA 2005, Tiburon is a Florida based company and surround mic'd the swamp on game day to get all the sounds. That likely has SOMETHING (not everything) to do with the fact they are number 1. Amazing that even with the huge capacity that scUM Stadium is so low on the list. Even video game designers know a crap hole when they smell it!
