        Do unused stadiums count? RFK when used by the Redskins was insane. The design part of the stadium to be moved so it could do football and baseball. Well that part of the stadium literally shook when it was packed. Loud and scary as an incoming player. But if your talking currently used stadiums, top 5 would be Fenway, Lambeau, Cameron (there nuts, and its so small and loud, very uncomfortable), Fedex Field (92 thousand psycho Redskins fans, and you know we are nuts, just read the news), and Beaver Stadium for the Nittany Lions (107K people, its insane). Boise State is a good team and program, but their home streak is more based on their opponants than the stadium. They dont play too many ranked teams at home.
