I got the feeling that he was listing 10 stadiums rather than ranking them, and he used a slot to spotlight small-town high school football. I doubt he's claiming the high school stadium is better than the Rose Bowl. And it's Reader's Digest, so it's most likely an audience of non-football fans who want to read something unique about ten stadiums and move on. He did report that LSU has the loudest stadium in America and their fans drink all day. There's always that.

Any Georgia Bulldog fan knows their team doesn’t really play in a stadium but rather, “between the hedges,” a description that has stuck ever since the famous privet hedges that circle the field were in place for Sanford’s debut in 1929 against Yale. No school takes better care of their mascots, either. UGA’s (ug-a) I through VI, all are descendants of the original white bulldog, and are entombed in the southwest corner of the stadium.

I look to Reader's Digest for my humor in uniform not stadium rankings.

2. Notre Dame Stadium, South Bend, Indiana — Love or hate them, and both sides have ardent partisans, the Fighting Irish are America’s team, and their stadium is nothing less than the cradle of college football. It blends history icons—The Four Horsemen and Knute Rockne. Touchdown Jesus, for example, is a large mural on the library where Jesus looms in the sky and looks like a referee signaling a touchdown, as are the golden domes of the players’ helmets. Everyone deserves to see a game there.

That is VERY VERY generous. The physical stadium is average at best and nothing is close to special about the location or surroundings.
