According to Athlon, Ohio Stadium tops the Big Ten stadiums. Here's what it says about Ohio State's home:

"There is little doubt that the Horseshoe is the Big Ten?s best place to watch a game. A great nickname, awesome traditions, tremendous fan support and commitment, elite level of success, High Street and the Banks of the Olentangy make Ohio Stadium a bucket list destination for fans of every team. And with a brand new video board, audio system and LED lighting, Ohio State boasts one of the top college football venues in the nation. Watching the "Dotting of the I" before a Buckeyes game is something all college fans should experience. Finishing No. 2 in average attendance doesn?t hurt either."

To me, this list looks pretty good. The fact a place as wild and storied as Camp Randall comes in at No. 4 is all the proof one needs to know the Big Ten is home to some fantastic venues, traditions. Same goes for Michigan Stadium, at No. 5.

I will say this: If Minnesota was an occasional contender, there's no way the beautiful TCF Bank Stadium lands at No. 8. To Athlon's credit, it took into account attendance and overall gameday experience.
