Stadium Journey’s 2018 Rankings of the Football Championship Subdivision
Here at Stadium Journey we strive to give you the most up-to-date and comprehensive looks at sporting facilities around the world, including not only the big name venues, but some that may be a bit off the beaten path. College football is one of the most popular sports out there, generating incredible amounts of devotion and attention from coast to coast.
Many fans may not realize that there is some great football and some fantastic venues outside of the Football Bowl Subdivision. The Football Championship Subdivision, formerly known a Division 1-AA, features 124 teams that compete annually for a single championship. Some of the country’s oldest and most unique stadiums are included in this group.
Stadium Journey has visited and reviewed 121 of the 124 schools that compete in FCS. Only North Alabama, Prairie View and South Dakota State have eluded our crew of dedicated sports travelers. Our apologies to fans of the Lions, Panthers and Jackrabbits. We’ll be visiting you as soon as possible.
