College Football 25 may very well be the most anticipated sports video game in history, and EA Sports is capitalizing on the hype.
The video game giant released rankings of the top-25 ‘toughest places to play’ which will impact a new home-field advantage feature in the game and make some stadiums more difficult to win at than others.
Bryant-Denny Stadium came in at No. 2 on the entire list due in large part to their home winning percentage, something that was a key factor in the rankings.
Texas A&M’s Kyle Field, which is perhaps the loudest stadium in the sport, was at the top of the list while Auburn inexplicably was left out of the top-ten at No. 14.
Four of the top five and six of the top ten were from the SEC as well.
