Interesting note on stadium sizes

Washington State is the only school in the PAC-12 whose football stadium holds more people than live in the town where it is located.
There are at least 3 of these in the ACC. I wonder how many nationally.

Auburn, Alabama, Mississippi State, Ole Miss for sure. Texas A&M and Arkansas would be close, depending on what capacity is and what the population actually is.

Athens is 100,000+ so not UGA.
Some of the Big 10 and Big 12 cities are actually much larger than one would think. I think Iowa City is actually pretty large, so Iowa would be a toss up. Lawrence, KS is about 100K people and their stadium is a joke, and Bloomington, IN is at least 80,000 as well. Penn St and Okie State for sure though.

I didn't figure Athens and Lawrence KS were that big.
Looks like Iowa City, College Station and Fayetteville have almost identical populations in comparison to the stadiums.
