What Is The Most Instagrammable Big 10 Stadium?
Ahead of the 2025 college football season, we wanted to see which Big Ten stadiums are considered the most “Instagrammable” venues for visitors.
So BetOhio.com, where top Ohio sportsbook promo codes don’t have to wait for football season, created a scoring system based on visual aesthetics, stadium setting, level of social media engagement and how many unique photo opportunities there are. We left out Northwestern’s Ryan Field because of its ongoing renovations.

Most Photogenic Big Ten Stadiums
When your home stadium is the host site of the bowl game lovingly referred to as “The Granddaddy of Them All,” you can bet that you’ll find yourself at the top of a list dedicated to photo-worthy venues. That’s exactly the case for the UCLA Bruins, who have played at the Rose Bowl since 1982.
UCLA won the “Battle For The Liberty Bell” rivalry over crosstown rival USC last season. And the Trojan’s home, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, finished second on the Big Ten’s most Instagrammable stadiums list. The host of the 1932 and 1984 Olympics complied 210 points in our scoring system, compared to the Rose Bowl’s 224.
But neither L.A. school is among the favorites in College Football Championship odds 2025-26 as we get ready for the second year of the 12-team CFP.

Traditional Big Ten Venues Still Shine
The Buckeyes are favored at major sportsbook operators to capture another national championship and their home is tops in Instagram-worthy characteristics among traditional Big Ten venues.
In third place on our list is “The Horseshoe” in Columbus, with Ohio State’s venerable home venue scoring 192 points. Ohio sports betting customers will be tuned in to watch the scarlet and gray in the fall at their 100,000-plus capacity home, Ohio Stadium.
Beaver Stadium at Penn State (167 points), Wisconsin’s Camp Randall Stadium (155 points) and Oregon’s Autzen Stadium (152 points) finishing in spots four through six.
Rounding out the Big Ten’s top 10, were Michigan (138 points), Iowa’s Kinnick Stadium (124), Minnesota’s Huntington Bank Stadium (121) and Spartan Stadium on Michigan State’s campus (109), with Washington’s Husky Stadium (89) finishing next in line.
On the flip side, the least photo-worthy stadium in the expanded Big Ten universe was Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium, which finished with 29 points, ranking behind Rutgers’ SHI Stadium (36) and Indiana’s own Memorial Stadium (47) in the 18-team conference.
On the field this season, no team holds better odds of capturing the Big Ten than the Buckeyes. As of July 18, OSU had +195 odds with DraftKings Sportsbook Ohio to win the conference title. That’s ahead of Penn State (+250), defending conference champ Oregon (+300), Michigan (+850) and USC (+2500).

Big Ten Stadiums Q&A
Rose Bowl Stadium, home to UCLA, is the most Instagrammable Big 10 stadium for 2025, earning the top spot with 224 points. Its iconic setting in Pasadena, California, surrounded by the scenic San Gabriel Mountains, makes it a standout for stunning photos that capture both the stadium’s historic charm and its picturesque backdrop.
Big 10 stadiums such as Rose Bowl Stadium and Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum are highly photogenic – with historic architecture, vibrant game-day atmospheres and unique surroundings. The Rose Bowl offers breathtaking views of the San Gabriel Mountains, complemented by its classic design and lush greenery, perfect for Instagram-worthy shots. Similarly, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, home to USC, boasts a storied legacy with its Olympic cauldron, grand arches, and urban backdrop, creating dynamic photo opportunities. Both stadiums combine rich history, passionate fan energy, and scenic or iconic elements that make them visually captivating for social media.
The 2025 rankings, led by the Rose Bowl Stadium followed by Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, use a scoring system based on visual aesthetics (e.g., stadium design), setting (e.g., campus/location views), social media engagement, and unique photo ops. We omitted Ryan Field at Northwestern because the facility is being renovated and the Wildcats are playing home games elsewhere in 2025.
