35 College Stadiums That Are More Iconic Than the Teams That Play There

10. Autzen Stadium: University of Oregon (Eugene, OR)

Oregon football has risen to prominence in recent decades, but Autzen Stadium has been an iconic college football venue for much longer. Despite seating just over 54,000 fans, Autzen is widely regarded as one of the loudest stadiums in the country, creating a daunting environment that regularly disrupts opposing teams. The stadium, opened in 1967, is set against the lush, green backdrop of the Pacific Northwest, making it one of the most scenic places to watch a game. Over the years, Oregon’s innovative offense and flashy uniforms have drawn national attention, but the real intimidation factor comes from the deafening noise of Autzen’s crowd—so loud that even NFL players have compared it to the biggest pro stadiums. With its picturesque location, ear-splitting atmosphere, and long-standing reputation as one of the toughest places to play, Autzen Stadium is a true college football landmark—no matter how Oregon’s team is performing.
