4. AT&T Stadium – 2013

As they say everything is bigger in Texas, and nothing seems bigger than Jerry Jones’ $1.3 billion dollars state-of-the-art stadium. The 101,000 stadium is the largest in the NFL. While it cost an arm and a leg to attend a game there, it is still widely regarded as one of the best facilities in the NFL. The crown jewel of the stadium is the 72 foot tall video board. The board hangs from the top of the stadium and stretches from 20 yard line to 20 yard line. Jerry World has played host to one Super Bowl, one Final Four, 2015 College Football Playoff Championship game, and a number of other neutral site games.

The Irish hosted Arizona State at AT&T Stadium in 2013 as part of the Shamrock Series. It was probably the best game in the history of the Shamrock Series. It was nip and tuck all the way through. The game was sealed late in the fourth quarter when Dan Fox intercepted Tanner Kelly and returned it for a touchdown. The Sun Devils would get a garbage time touchdown and the Irish won it 37-33.
