Ranking The Best Mountain West Conference Football Stadiums

Bennett Conlin by Bennett Conlin
September 11, 2023
Colorado State’s Canvas Stadium

Colorado State Athletics

The Mountain West Conference features good football, but the quality football can’t match the league’s football venues. Does any conference in the country have more scenic stadiums?

I need to start visiting Mountain West football stadiums in the fall because a handful of these places have jaw-dropping views. I hope this conference stays together in some capacity, if for no other reason than to keep this collection of stadiums affiliated with each other.

Best Mountain West Conference Football Stadiums

12. Hawaii’s Clarence T. C. Ching Stadium

Hawaii Athletics

The new Aloha Stadium, which might be a few years away from opening, will help Hawaii move up this list. Until then, the Rainbow Warriors are at the bottom.

11. New Mexico’s University Stadium

The facility isn’t jaw-dropping, and the program isn’t great. Lackluster home crowds coupled with an average facility isn’t a great combination.

10. San Jose State’s CEFCU Stadium

San Jose State Athletics

Meh. CEFCU Stadium is fine, but it’s competing against some of the most scenic venues in college football. 

9. Wyoming’s War Memorial Stadium

Wyoming Athletics

This is one of the few Mountain West stadiums that doesn’t make me feel much. It’s a respectable venue, but not one of the MWC’s best.

8. Nevada’s Mackay Stadium

Nevada Athletics

This isn’t my favorite stadium in the league, but it’s still a tough spot for a visiting team to consistently secure victories. In other Group of Five leagues, Mackay might be ranked higher relative to league peers. 

7. Fresno State’s Valley Children Stadium

Fresno State boasts a solid facility. It’s not quite my favorite across the Group of Five or the conference, but it’s a decent-looking stadium. It never hurts to house a quality program, either.

6. Air Force’s Falcon Stadium

Air Force Athletics

Falcon Stadium doesn’t feature any gimmicks. It’s a standard-looking stadium in a scenic part of the country. Can’t ask for much more than that in a Group of Five stadium.

5. Boise State’s Albertson Stadium

Boise State Athletics

I hate the blue turf. I’m sorry, Boise State fans. I know the home-field advantage is incredible, and the blue turf is obviously unique. It’s just not for me. 

Even with my disdain for neon-colored astroturf, this stadium can’t be at the bottom of the list. It’s too memorable to finish last.

4. UNLV’s Allegiant Stadium

UNLV’s Allegiant Stadium
UNLV Athletics

UNLV shares the stadium with the Raiders, so yeah, it’s an elite-level facility. Other venues top this stadium on my list because this isn’t a UNLV-focused venue. There will be plenty of empty seats on most Saturdays.

3. Utah State’s Maverik Stadium

Utah State’s Maverik Stadium
Utah State Athletics

The views from this venue are among the best in college football. It’s a breathtaking location for a stadium. 

2. San Diego State’s Snapdragon Stadium

This place is awesome. It’s a modern-looking facility that houses a darn good football program. Picture-perfect weather for much of the season doesn’t hurt either. College football fans should visit this venue.

1. Colorado State’s Canvas Stadium

Colorado State’s Canvas Stadium
Colorado State Athletics

The program hasn’t been great as of late, but my gosh, Colorado State nailed its stadium. The inside of the stadium looks tremendous, and it elevates the entire program’s reputation, in my mind. It’s such a nice venue, and one I’m sure recruits will love visiting. 

Canvas Stadium is a gorgeous facility and one of my favorite’s across the entire Group of Five.
