To determine the best college football stadiums in the country, the ones that are the most impactful to their guests and leave them thunderstruck, USA Today asked 10 of its sports writers to pick their favorites using their own criteria.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome valued the visual element at the top of their list.
