Thanks Taft!
Still can’t believe Alabama named it’s stadium after Brian Dennehy.
I haven’t been to most places so only know so much. My thing with a list like this is how much are you factoring in just that a team wins because they’re good versus actual stadium environment swing. Like some of the big boys on here I’ve never hear anything specific about their stadium. My Coug friends went to a Texas game and said it was pretty generic and average not really comparable to Husky Stadium
yeah, it needs to be how much the stadium impacts the game and not who the best team is. I remember the coliseum was always on these lists in the Pete Carroll era which was really dumb because that place is a tomb even when usc is good + usc could have played their home games at a local high school stadium and had the same overall record
A great thread or poll sometime might be "Wins that Husky Stadium helped create that otherwise probably wouldn't have happened".
1981 USC might be on the list
@creepycoug is in first place and it's not close.
Same with 2024.
1975 USC game for sure
My 'The U' contacts swear the new covers at Hard Rock make it much more formidable.

2000 Miami game comes to mind. Ken Dorothy (the old dawgman smartasses liked to call him that; IWTLTD) was making is first start and the noise got to him. When Rich Alexis made his run I thought the place was going to collapse, and let's remember there is precedent for that at Husky Stadium.
No question about that one.
I've been to some others, but Husky Stadium gets fucking loud.
Can also confirm Texas is generic … nothing special going on there.
I'd add that the old Orange Bowl in a night game against a big-name opponent was a tuff place for teams to play. There was something about being there under the lights. Sufficiently large to fit like 20 Big Houses in it (old HCH joke for the newcomers). Being located in the hood and attracting the locals was special. Our? pussy former AD got her sensibilities offended by the Miami fan base, which wasn't to her liking, and she said she'd never go back. I would have liked to have been there to hear the shit people must have been saying to her. Sorry Babs. Let's just say the old Orange Bowl wasn't for the wine and cheese crowd.
I think LSU is perhaps on its own level for raucous and intimidating environment down in hillbilly hell.

LSU during a night game, yes and plenty of drunk and/or buzzed fans.
Even with the track, HS was notoriously tough unless you’re a new Miami coach and before riding the coattails of Jimmy Johnson. Not saying Butch Davis was a bad coach; his team eventually won although he had moved on the year before. Butch should have reached out to his coaching friends and maybe he did but Miami definitely wasn’t ready for Husky Stadium that day, certainly not the first half. I was there!
