1) Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto is by far the coolest stadium I've been too. It's small, I think seats around 50K. But it's new and it's double decked all around the field. It brings the 50K of fans very close to the field wherever you sit in the stadium. Because it is new its open air with plenty of restrooms.

That is a huge transformation that was made in less than a year to this stadium. From the end of the 2005 season to the second game in 2006 it went to your picture from this (at least from the pictures I could find maybe more work had started earlier but still a huge difference).

My #1 is the Sea of Red in Lincoln, Nebraska. They have sold out every game since 1962!

And if you want a good view from the stadium, it's hard to beat the view of the Atlanta Skyline from Bobby Dodd:

Yes, I was amazed how fast they were able to make the transformation and how different the stadium now looks. It was one of the reasons I picked my out of conference travel game Stanford this year. I wanted to see it for myself. If anyone ever wants to travel to another conference football game I highly recommend Stanford Stadium. Downtown Palo Alto is right across from the stadium area and is a really cool place to hang out before or after the game. They have one of the best Sports Bars I've ever been in.
