There's a brand new football stadium set to be welcomed to the Big Ten this season.
With Northwestern's new stadium complete, it's important to see where Ryan Field stacks up against the powerhouses that are the 100,000+ seaters that Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State have.
There seems to be an ongoing debate about whether the Big Ten is up there with the SEC or even the ACC, but winning three straight National Championships certainly helps the Big Ten's case.
When it comes to supportive fanbases, look no further than this conference. Not every single team may be able to compete with the big boys, but the Big Ten hosts some of the most lively, and most importantly, biggest college football stadiums in the country.
