if this list was all about atmosphere then camp randall would win hands down. but this is about intimidating vendues for football and when you look at the stats, camp randall does not fit the bill. not one team that went into camp randall last season was intimidated and it shows with losses at home to penn state big time ouch OSU on a comeback. nearly blew it to minnesota big time and to cal poly big time. camp randall is not intimidating to anybody

Don’t forget about the beat down Joe Pa took on the sidelines. Ouch. That was an instant classic. Nice article though.

Are you a Wisconsin fan? THe team that has lost 35-14 and 38-7 the last two times they’ve played at Beaver Stadium?

i wont assume that you’ve never been to beaver stadium, but i’ve been to both, and camp randall can’t hold a candle to the atmosphere at penn state

I’m sorry but there is no way Beaver Stadium is more imposing than Camp Randall. This list just became a homer mockery.

That night game in Madison could be brutal this year.

I don’t know if you planned on doing this, but it’d be cool to see the 1-11 list for each category all in one post.

My guess is Ohio State will be #1. They’ll get us in W-L record since this goes back to the 03-04 seasons.

i was out in 02 (i believe) and this by far, is one of my favorite venues. one of the best parts of the trip was being able to get into camp randle to walk the track and watch the band practice (those goose-steppin fools looked great) the aura speaks for itself, and as admin said the students are one hell of a nuisance, the fraternities are right by the stadium which lends to a hellacious problem of drunken people. my day starts with some stogie chewin whig telling us how we’ve got no chance.(after the game he attempts to kiss our ass to which i tell him that “regardless, he’s an asshole, we’re trying to enjoy our victory”. then on the way i make a 24-17 prediction that almost gets my ass whalloped, and then a subsequent comment about losing to hawaii does the likes. everyone tried to be nice, but came off as contrived. and, one of the better practices i noticed was either a)dispersing psu fans among the rest to keep from gathering, and b) placing them in the top corner of the upper deck on the student side. great venue, definately a difficult place to be if your an opponent
