EA Sports’ College Football 25 is one of the most anticipated video games of all time. The game will drop next month to anxious players who’ve waited over a decade to play a college football video game. After EA Sports announced the “Toughest Place to Play” rankings, more hype got tacked onto the game this week. In doing so, EA revealed the toughest place to play in the game: Kyle Field at Texas A&M University.

The massive Texas A&M football stadium holds at least 102,000 people. The record attendance stands at over 110,000 people. That’s a lot of people, and it always makes for a rocking environment.

EA Sports dropped the rankings in a post on X on Tuesday to the players.

The rest of the Top 5 features Bryant-Denny Stadium at Alabama, Tiger Stadium at LSU, Ohio Stadium at Ohio State, and finally they go “between the hedges” at Georgia. Penn State, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Florida State, and Florida round out the Top 10.

A further investigation into the rankings reveals the Top 25, which features Oregon, Michigan, Texas, Boise State, and others.

This was a common feature in the classic CFB games of the early 2000s. It’s lovely to see these return, but they certainly sparked disagreements. At least they’ll update throughout the season.

Much was made over the rankings. Depending on who you root for, your thoughts on this varied.
