1.LSU - From the eye of the tiger at midfield, the alternating colors in the end zone, the yard markers every five and the throwback goal posts, this is the Fenway Park of college football fields.



2. East Carolina - The Pirates' pitch drew heaps of praise last Thursday during their national TV win over Florida Atlantic, and rightfully so. You won't find a bolder midfield logo than that pirate staring into your soul from inside the North Carolina silhouette - and when you're at East Carolina, you need to be bold.


3. Tennessee - Without a doubt the most recognizable end zone pattern in college football, and I'm not even sure there's a close second.


4. North Carolina - The Tar Heels rocket up the rankings thanks to the newly-installed argyle end zone pattern.


5. Notre Dame - Like everything else about Notre Dame football, the field design at Notre Dame Stadium has to be unique. It's definitely the "Seinfeld" of college football fields. "Everyone else is doing something. We'll do nothing!"


6. Wyoming - Like the Tar Heels, Wyoming's recent changes pushed them into the national consciousness. Also, it's never a bad thing when you can paint an intimdation factor into your field, as the Cowboys do by reminding everyone they're playing a mile and a half above sea level.


7. Nebraska - The alternating shades of green in Memorial Stadium's field turf is just enough of a classic touch to allow the Huskers to stand apart from the pack.


8a. Clemson
8b. Georgia

I'm going to cheat a little bit here and include both Clemson and Georgia in the No. 8 spot. Like Nebraska, both schools master the art of tweaking the ordinary by working in a small touch to make it their own. With Clemson, it's the way the tiger paw stands in for the 'o'. At Georgia, it's how they use the "G" logo at the goal line. I'll give the Tigers the slight edge on account of this.




9. Maryland - Let's be honest. Maryland's pride theme does not work at all on a uniform, but it looks pretty darn good on a field.


10. Boise State - As with Oregon's uniforms, don't blame them for their army of followers. It's not Boise State's fault no one can pull off the colored field as well as they do.




My takes, ND shouldn't be in the top 100, and Wyoming surprised the hell out of me. Fresh design

:Big3:

Lame, boring, and nothing special.

Our (lsu) field looks beat up in that picture. Must have been taken towards the end of the season.

If this was Minnesota who has been around for over a century, wouldn't have made the list. People include Notre Dame because it is "Notre Dame" not realizing they haven't been truly relevant in decades and their stadium and field is a rotting piece of shite

ECU is my favorite in all of college football. It's funny because I was talking about this just last Thursday with a buddy. Nice find BTW.

I hate to say this, but I really like Tennessee's design. I feel dirty for even typing that.

Top 10 and Boise do not belong together. Its a gimmick field, nothing about it makes it Top 10 worthy.

It looks sharp on television. I think that's what this thread is about, no?

According to the link, the author put Clemson ahead because of them beating us this year.

The Fenway Park of college football. This top ten is like Dale Earnhardts philosophy on coming in second place. The first loser.
