In America, football is almost like the second religion for many people and the stadiums where the game is played are like the Duomos (The principal Christian church building of a bishop's diocese). The view of the field is 3D as opposed to the view on television. The experience of watching a football match sitting in the stadium is extra-ordinary because of the excited crowd and their exciting support. The enthusiasm among the fans almost touches the sky filling the stadium with a roar. The cheering and booing of the fans keep boosting the spirit of the players as well as make them feel the pressure of the do or die situation on the field.Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor
It is the largest and one of the best stadiums in America. The opening day of the stadium was 1st of October, 1927 and the opening game was played between UM and Ohio. Nearly, 21 acres of land was donated to the University by the Detroit native Dexter M. Ferry in 1902. After the donation, the land was united comprising an athletics campus of the Michigan University. In return of the donation the entire complex was renamed as Ferry Field. But, still the stadium could accommodate less fans and the need was felt to do something to accommodate more fans. A new complex was built closer to the site where the Michigan outdoor track lies. Though the new complex was constructed under the same name, Ferry Field was much more different from the older field. The older complex allotted the field for baseball, football and athletics whereas the new Ferry Field had the grass that was exclusively used for football. Michigan had constructed separate practice fields so that Ferry Field was used only on game days.
Memorial Stadium, Nebraska
In the year 1922, funds of around $430,000 were collected to build a new football stadium, by the faculty, students, and well wishers of the Nebraska University. The stadium is located on the campus of the university and has around 83,000 seating capacity. Nebraska is so devoted to Husker football that when full, the stadium holds more people than any other Nebraska city (except Omaha and Lincoln). The name Memorial Stadium is given in the honor of all the Nebraskans who fought in the Civil and Spanish-American wars and 751 Nebraskans who died in the first World War. One interesting thing to know about the stadium is that the stadium is referred to as the "Sea of Red" because of the red apparel of the fans.
