Big Ten college football stadium rankings by Google, Yelp and Tripadvisor reviews
Mark Giannotto, USA TODAYAugust 9, 2025 at 8:32 PM
The Big Ten is not lacking for historic college football venues. The Big House, The Horseshoe, the Rose Bowl and even Wrigley Field are among the home fields Big Ten teams will play on during the 2025 season. But it was one of the league's newest members that currently has the best-reviewed stadium in the Big Ten.
Nebraska's Memorial Stadium, which opened in 1923, had the best average rating among Big Ten venues, according to an analysis of more than 5,000 reviews doled out by users on Google, Yelp and Tripadvisor. The home of Nebraska Cornhuskers football finished ahead of some of its more famous counterparts and the list differs from the ranking of Big Ten stadiums published by USA TODAY last month. Memorial Stadium was slotted as the eighth-best Big Ten stadium in that exercise.
But most of the best stadiums in the Big Ten weren't separated by much in terms of ratings, with 10 venues registering a combined average score of more than 4.6 stars out of 5. Michigan Stadium, Ohio Stadium, Penn State's Beaver Stadium, Iowa's Kinnick Stadium and Oregon's Autzen Stadium were among the other top-rated places to watch Big Ten football.
Here's a full breakdown of where all 18 Big Ten stadiums rank based on Google, Yelp and Tripadvisor ratings entering the 2025 college football season:
