Here is my take on the same:
over 40 years of Badger home season tickets. I have been to all the B1G stadiums besides Maryland/ Rutgers/ Nebraska. Plus SEC venues LSU, Auburn, Ole Miss, Florida, Tennessee.

I have been to big games at an SEC venue on back to back weekends coming back to Camp Randall so I was able to compare places over the years pretty well.

Observations:

Loudest Stadiums
Ohio St, Penn St, LSU, Florida

Wildest tailgating scenes
LSU, Wisconsin, PSU ----Unique Ole Miss

For the B1G BIG games only I would rank
1. PSU - for a white out and smaller college town atmosphere and great tailgating scene
2. Ohio State- intimidating stadium, passionate fans, great traditions
3. Wisconsin- Urban Meyer himself called Camp Randall a top 5 nationally. There is a wild edge to the ADHD atmosphere overall. Unique bar/ tailgating/ house party scene.
4. Iowa- Underrated. Fans right on top of you and loud. Party scene similar to Madison.
------------------------------------------------------
5. Michigan- been there a few times. It can be loud. Its just a bit more wine/cheese/ arrogant vibe than the frat party debauchery vibe of the places ranked above it.
6. Nebraska- passionate fans. But they were definitely impressed with the Camp Randall atmosphere in 2011, 2014, 2016. Again...I just think the top 4 have a different edge/vibe/rowdy thing going on.

Would love it if that is accurate. I guess we'll see in a month.

I think a big thing for me is what the students bring to the experience and intimidation factor. Schools like PSU, Iowa, Michigan...their student sections are JAMMED by kickoff, and they're into it from the jump through the final whistle...the actual game, not moreso the dumb shite during timeouts.

The Bleacher Creatures used to be great. I'd love to see that again.
