Ben Hill Griffin Stadium Ranking Revealed in EA Sports College Football 26

The Florida Gators have called Ben Hill Griffin Stadium home since it was built in 1930.

When EA Sports College Football 26 releases on July 10, fans can see what it is like playing in such a hostile environment.

The toughest places to play rankings were released on Tuesday, with Ben Hill Griffin Stadium coming at No. 7.

The Gators went 5-2 at home last season on their way to clinching the first winning season for head coach Billy Napier. Florida ended the year with Napier's first bowl win, taking down Tulane 33-8 in the Gasparilla Bowl.

After an 8-5 finish, Florida enters Napier's fourth year with momentum.

Much like EA Sports College Football 25, the standard and deluxe editions of the will contain different cover athletes.

The standard edition has Alabama Crimson Tide wideout Ryan Williams and Ohio State Buckeyes receiver Jeremiah Smith. However, the deluxe edition features the two stars along with players and fans from various teams in the game.

A Florida player has not been on the cover of the video game series since NCAA Football 11, when 2007 Heisman winner Tim Tebow graced it.

Tebow and Florida quarterback DJ Lagway are on the deluxe edition cover for this year's game.

Napier is not the only one high on his team, with former head coach Urban Meyer predicting how Florida's season will go. Meyer coached in Gainesville from 2005-2010, winning national titles in 2006 and 2008.

Meyer named the best NFL players he has coached and left out Tebow, despite naming other Florida legends like Percy Harvin, Joe Haden and others.

Hopefully the game's release will keep Florida fans happy until the Gators' season opener against Long Island on August 30.
