EA Sports College Football 25 is set to release next month and at least one thing Florida Football fans can count on is that The Swamp is going to have a significant home field advantage in the game. The video game will be utilizing a crowd noise feature to make places like Ben Hill Griffin Stadium difficult to play at for the visiting teams.

So while the Gators did make the top ten of toughest places in America to play, some of the other schools to make the list have fans across the country scratching their heads.

Florida Football: Won’t Back Down

The Swamp came in at number ten on this list of “Toughest places to play” on a list released by EA Sports today. One could argue Florida should be higher, given that Florida still draws 93,000 fans even during a down year, but given Florida’s record over the past few years it is understandable why EA put the Gators at 10th.

There are some things about this list that give the impression that EA Sports chose clubs at random or that were fortunate to be successful. For instance, relatively few people assert that the large crowds at FSU make it challenging to play there. Although they can accommodate 79,000 fans, the Seminoles consistently packed Doak Campbell Stadium during the previous season for the first time in a long time. They continued to garner audiences under 60,000 in 2022.

Another stadium that made a lot of people say, “Huh?!?” is Camp Randall, which is regarded as a difficult venue to play. They’re not usually known for being a hostile crowd—that is, until they start playing “Jump Around”.

It seems more like a result of the teams’ success than of crowd loudness that Alabama and Georgia are ranked as high as they are.Former Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban would chastise supporters for leaving the game early and not giving it their all.

Don’t take my word for it, either, if you think I’m the only one who has doubts about this list. Ben Chase, who is renowned for attending 77 different games in the 2022 season, is the person to trust.

Though, let’s say, he is also not a fan of the list, he currently works for Florida.
