Even the Commonwealth Stadium pales in comparison to many College football stadiums in the US.

Here are the 10 largest College Football stadiums in the U.S.

1 Michigan Stadium Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan 107,601
2 Beaver Stadium Penn StateUniversity Park, Pennsylvania 106,572
3 Ohio Stadium Ohio State Columbus, Ohio 102,780
4 Kyle Field Texas A&M College Station, Texas 102,733
5 Tiger Stadium LSU Baton Rouge, Louisiana 102,321
6 Neyland Stadium Tennessee Knoxville, Tennessee 101,915
7 Bryant-Denny Stadium Alabama Tuscaloosa, Alabama 101,821
8 Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium Texas Austin, Texas 100,119
9 Sanford Stadium Georgia Athens, Georgia 93,033
10 Rose Bowl UCLA Pasadena, California 91,136

CFL: (cute)
1 Commonwealth Stadium Edmonton Elks 56,302
2 BC Place Vancouver, British Columbia BC Lions 54,300
3 McMahon Stadium Calgary Stampeders 35,650
4 Princess Auto Stadium Winnipeg Blue Bombers 33,422
5 Mosaic Stadium Saskatchewan Roughriders 33,350
6 TD Place Stadium Ottawa Redblacks 25,000
7 BMO Field Toronto Argonauts25,000
8 Tim Hortons Field Hamilton Tiger-Cats 24,390
9 Percival Molson Memorial Stadium Montreal Alouettes 20,025
Those stadiums in the US for college football have HUGE capacities but are mostly bench seats so they can pack them in which is not a fair comparison (except mcMahon and McGill)
