Highest Attendence is because is is mainly a Football Field.

I have other factors than highest attn comes in play for top college venues. No Particular order.

1-Tradition
2-History
3-Home Field Advantage
4-Primary basketball arenas
5-Attendance

Although Stan Heath has done his best to tame it, Bud Walton Arena rocks.

1-Tradition = Arkansas basketball. One National Championship, Six Final Four Appearances, Nine Appearances in the Elite Eight, 14 Appearances in the Sweet 16, 27 NCAA Tournament Bids, 39 NCAA Tournament Victories, 24 Postseason Tournament Appearances since 1977. Tradition speaks for itself.
2-History = Forty minutes of hell, the Triplets. Most special moment? Probably Oliver Miller blocking Shaq on a game winning shot attempt.
3-Home Field Advantage = Refs have covered their ears during timeouts. Just because Stan heath stinks doesn't mean the Arena does as well. Not many people can bring themselves to cheer for that crap.
4-Primary Basketball Arenas = What?
5-Attendance = Consistently one of the best in the nation.

I went to Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville a couple of years ago and it was rockin' and that was before they got Pearl. I could imagine that it would be unreal now.
