Technological advances have made it so that watching a college football game at home is almost like being there in person.

Almost.

No camera lens or field microphone can fully replicate the atmosphere that can be found at certain college stadiums, especially when they're packed to the gills with a raucous crowd voraciously cheering on the home team. The experience of being there is a major enhancement, with the stadium itself contributing to that feeling in so many ways.

Not every stadium is the same, though. Some are better than others, worthy of being considered one of the best in the country.

We've ranked the top 25 FBS stadiums, factoring in their size, noise level and ambiance. Only facilities where the college team is the primary tenant were considered, since the aura at places like Heinz Field in Pittsburgh or Sun Life Stadium in Miami is far greater for NFL games than college ones.
