Football Cathedrals

     One of the great social events of the Fall is watching football and especially college football.  Thousands of loyal alumni and fans tailgate all day on Saturdays and then enter their sacred stadiums where they cheer wildly for a few hours in hope that they're team take the victory.  I think college football brings the extra loyalty and fandom as compared to the pros'.  The long storied history of the schools and years of tradition creates a school-fan bond that goes on for lifetimes and generations.  College football stadiums also step their game up by providing some of the biggest stadiums in the country with some game attendance's going into 6 figures.  Only one NFL stadium can come close (FedEx field in DC).  Looking at a 100,000 screaming fans all wearing the same color is unforgettable.  Add in the marching bands, cheerleaders, mascots and the energy of a class of undergrads, you get an experience like no other.  Here's an article that can stir much debate, but it's great as a starting point to see who has the loudest stadium in the country.  Bleacher report came out with this article.  Have fun reviewing each one as I've been to a few myself.  See where you're school stacks up.  I've attended homecoming weekend at Rutgers, obviously, also West Virginia, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, University of South Carolina, University of Rhode Island, University of Delaware and I'm sure a few others that I can't recall at the moment.
