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

18. Memorial Stadium: University of Nebraska (Lincoln, NE)

Nebraska football has fallen from national dominance, but Memorial Stadium still stands as a fortress of college football tradition. Built in 1923, it is one of the largest stadiums in the country, holding over 85,000 fans—which is more than the population of most Nebraska cities. On game days, Lincoln becomes the third-largest city in the state, with fans packing the stadium to keep alive a sellout streak dating back to 1962. The stadium’s aura, combined with one of the most dedicated fanbases in all of sports, makes it more legendary than Nebraska’s recent football performance.
