Ohio Stadium (Ohio State — “The Horseshoe”)

Ohio Stadium runs on rivalry. The Horseshoe isn’t trying to be the loudest or the biggest — it’s trying to be the place opponents fear most. Fueled by one of the sport’s most intense rivalries, Buckeye fans argue that hatred itself is a competitive advantage.

Critics say it’s just another massive power-program venue hiding behind tradition. Supporters say no atmosphere hits harder than a stadium fueled by rivalry.
