19. Memorial Stadium (Lincoln, Nebraska): The Sea of Red's Enduring Passion

Even without traditional rivalries consistently on the schedule, Memorial Stadium's "Sea of Red" creates an unparalleled atmosphere of enduring passion. With over 83,000 loyal Cornhusker fans, the stadium maintains a legendary sellout streak dating back to 1962, a testament to unwavering support. When heated Big Ten opponents like Iowa (for the "Heroes Trophy") visit, the entire stadium vibrates with fierce dedication, illustrating that Nebraska football is a cultural institution transcending individual matchups.
