The college football news cycle on June 25, 2024, surrounded EA Sports College Football 25’s ranking of the toughest home environments in the sport. Wisconsin’s Camp Randall Stadium made the list at No. 7 overall, which was not universally agreed upon, to say the least.
EA Sports’ ranking had everybody opining on which stadiums were overrated, which were omitted from the ranking and how the list should be reordered.

The measure of stadium environments is almost entirely subjective. There are some objectively great home field environments — including Penn State‘s Beaver Stadium. But there is no tangible way to compare how much a certain stadium atmosphere affects the game.
It’s usually true that the best teams in the country (Alabama, Georgia, Clemson) also boast great home environments. That’s because the teams are really good, plus some level fan excitement that is driven by winning.
So this piece is not to re-litigate EA Sports’ ranking and Wisconsin’s place within it. Instead, it’s a look back at some of the Badgers’ biggest games at Camp Randall over the years that helped to build the stadium’s strong national reputation:
