Or is LSU, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida have taller stadiums?

I would imagine Berkeley is the highest.

I thought Boulder would be the "highest". Somewhere nearing a mile.

Or maybe Texas, depending on what you mean by "highest"

I doubt The Swamp, Neyland or Tiger are taller.

I have no idea about Bryant-Denny. Some aspects of that place are incredibly similar to Kyle.

I thought Wyoming's was, coming in at something like 7800 ft above sea level.

Relative to sea level? No.

In terms of topographical prominence? Maybe.

Height only!

Not above MSL.

I would be interested to know this. Would be a cool piece of trivia. I wonder abou the height of the shoe in Columbus? or tiger stadium in baton rouge

My rough estimate says Kyle Field is the tallest college football stadium in the country.

Kyle has an advantage over many stadiums since the field is actually at ground level.

wow, kyle actually doesnt look so ugly from that angle. i need to stop entering from the east side

I believe the zone is the same as the one in florida- just used the same plans to save money.

IIRC, Kyle Field isn't even the highest in Texas. I believe that achievement belongs to Amon Carter Stadium in Fort Worth.

highest or tallest???

Tallest.

come on, there's got to be a weed joke in here somewhere

I'd believe The Zone is based off their design, but they're definately not identical.

TCU or Rice

Are we measuring from field level or from ground level outside of the stadium. If measuring from outside, I think Kyle just might be the tallest because, as was mentioned previously, Kyle's playing surface is at ground level.

Texas State just raised theirs on the west side...someone should measure to make sure it didn't pass up Kyle!

If you're really curious pony up the $1.99 and text KGB.....

and then report your findings here for the rest of us cheap *******s!

How high is Clemson?

I read DKRs westside upperdeck is the tallest upperdeck in the country

What about t.u.'s or OU's? They're both pretty tall.

It's hard to tell with t.u.'s as is is not exactly on a flat piece of real estate like Kyle Field and Owen Field are.

Not measured from outside ground level. Clemson's stadium has a sunken playing field. I've been there. After touching Howard's Rock the hill the players run down is a descent from street level into a bowl. From the playing surface to the top of the east and west upper decks IS quite a distance. However, outside, the upper deck doesn't stick out nearly as far as Kyle's. Measured from outside ground level, it has to be either Kyle or DKR (the west side upper deck). Kyle has an advantage in this that most, or really almost all other stadiums don't have, that being that the actual playing surface is not just level with the outside but actually above ground level. If you do much traveling you'll discover that, contrary to the way we did it, stadiums normally have a playing field and a large portion of the seats below ground level.

Its size is stunning, especially when viewed approaching it from the west, with the tallest upper deck of any stadium in the nation

I know this isn't the original question, but the three highest playing fields are:

Wyoming 7220' above sea level

Northern Arizona (Flagstaff, Division 1-AA) 6870'

USAFA 6620'

DKR's upper deck is extremely steep. I felt a little uneas about it witha few beers in me.

I've been to Byrant-Denny. I don't think Kyle Field or DKR come anywhere close to it. That place is massive. Out front, they also have statues of the coaches who have won national titles, with the years they won. Each one has a separate area. There is a blank spot waiting for the next one. No pressure on Saban!

It's TCU
