During the Big Ten Football Media Days, coaches overwhelmingly recognized Penn State's Beaver Stadium as the loudest, most intimidating environment in the conference. The results of a coaches' poll were revealed in an Instagram reel shared by the conference.

According to SI.com, Beaver Stadium was mentioned by Ohio State's Ryan Day, Michigan's Sherrone Moore, Maryland's Mike Locksley, Minnesota's P.J. Fleck, and Nebraska's Matt Rhule.

Surprisingly, Penn State head football coach, James Franklin, didn't name Beaver Stadium in his response. "At this point, I'd probably go with Ohio State," he said.

Beaver Stadium is renowned for its "White Out" games and is considered one of the toughest places to play. Penn State has also given itself the distinction of having "the best student section in the country, by far" on one of the stadium's entry gates.

Beaver Stadium is ranked among the three largest college football stadiums in the country. Its capacity, at 106,572, is just behind Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, at 107,601, and ahead of Ohio Stadium in Columbus, at 102,780, according to  The Sporting News.
