The reviews are in, and two Big 12 stadiums tower over everyone else in college football when it comes to online consumer satisfaction.
Oklahoma State’s Boone Pickens Stadium and Kansas State’s Bill Snyder Family Stadium weren’t just the best stadiums in their conference, according to a USA Today Sports analysis of the ratings given out by users on Google, Yelp and Tripadvisor. They were actually the two best-reviewed college football venues in the entire country entering the 2025 season.
Oklahoma State’s football stadium is the oldest in the Big 12, but received significant upgrades thanks to a record donation more than 20 years ago from its namesake, and the school’s biggest booster. Kansas State has played home games in its stadium since 1968, but the facility has undergone several renovations and upgrades since 1993 as the football program rose in prominence under Snyder.
BYU’s Lavell Edwards Stadium, West Virginia’s Milan Puskar Stadium, Iowa State’s Jack Trice Stadium and Baylor’s McLane Stadium also received high marks in the combined reviews when compared with their national peers. Nine Big 12 stadiums (out of 16) have an average rating above 4.6 stars out of five entering the 2025 college football season. These rankings, however, are different than a recent list published by USA TODAY.
Here’s a full breakdown of where all 16 Big 12 stadiums stack up based on Google, Yelp and Tripadvisor ratings ahead of the 2025 college football season:
