The Big Ten has some of the rowdiest environments in college football. FOX Sports’ Jenny Taft recently revealed her top 5 Big Ten stadiums.
Taft has Wisconsin’s Camp Randall at the top, followed by Michigan Stadium aka “the Big House”, Ohio State aka “the Shoe”, Penn State’s Beaver Stadium, and Oregon’s Autzen Stadium.
Camp Randall has a special place in Taft’s heart.
“I grew up going to Camp Randall. ‘Jump Around’ is the best. You can’t compete with it. I just have memories there as a young girl, just loving the game.”
Taft was blown away by the energy for her first Ohio State at Michigan game.
“That’s the first time I really understood the magnitude of college football,” Taft said. “My first Ohio State-Michigan game, I’ll never forget it.”
In terms of Ohio State’s stadium, Taft has been there the most.
“I’ve actually covered more games at The Shoe than anywhere else in college football,” Taft said. “I think the fanbase is special. They have something to be excited for last year and this year.”
Taft marvels at the passion Penn State fans bring to Beaver Stadium.
“I think the White Out is something that is so special and unique to college football. What an amazing atmosphere,” Taft said.. “It’s just kind of hard to get to.”
Taft hasn’t been to Oregon’s stadium in awhile and would love to return soon.
“I love the atmosphere but I’ve got be honest I haven’t been there in a long time. So I remember it being really great,” Taft said. “I need to go back because I love what the Ducks are doing this season.”
