There are a great many venues in the B1G to catch a football game on a Saturday afternoon and everyone has their favorite, based on what colors you bleed.

From the birthplace of college football at Rutgers to The Big House at Michigan to Camp Randall at Wisconsin to Beaver Stadium in Happy Valley, there are some great venues to watch college football in the conference.

Well our friends over at ESPN have compiled a list of the best of the B1G and you might be surprised who they pegged as the top dog.

According to ESPN, one stadium stands out over the rest: Ohio Stadium a.k.a. "The Horseshoe".

Not that we need to be told which is the best but here's why ESPN has The Shoe #1:

"The Big Ten is flush with historic and enormous stadiums, so there are several worthy choices here. Still, it’s hard to top Ohio Stadium. From its beautiful perch next to the Olentangy River to its famous horseshoe design and the north rotunda that takes you back into the past, the home of the Buckeyes is the perfect college football setting. That’s also because the incredibly loyal and loud Ohio State fans pack the 104,000-seat stadium no matter the opponent, not just to see their beloved team but also for the marching band and the traditional dotting of the ‘i.’ In a league full of fantastic stadiums, the ’Shoe steals the show."

You're damn right The Horseshoe is tops in the B1G. Just take a look at the last two Spring Game attendance marks and it will become pretty apparent that fans of tOSU know where to find a good football game, right?!
