Georgia punter Brett Thorson grew up on a dairy farm in Australia, about two hours from Melbourne. When he goes home, occasionally someone will ask what American college football is like, which leads to this back-and-forth:

“Oh, is the stadium big, or do you play in front of big crowds?”

“Oh yeah, our stadiums are pretty big.”

“How many?”

“Ninety-three thousand.”

Then there’s silence.

“It’s almost like they get hit with a bucket of water. They’re like, ‘Wait, 93,000?’”Thorson said, smiling. “It is crazy, because it’s so hard to comprehend that you have these NFL stadiums, baseball stadiums, but the biggest stadiums are for technically semi-professional students, 18- to 22-year-olds.”

Stephen Fry, the English actor, had the same reaction when he visited Auburn for the Iron Bowl in 2011. A video of his experience summed it up well:

“It’s an indication of the size of the U.S. economy, and their passion for sport, that this is the stadium for Auburn, no more than a medium-sized college, and this is their annual game against another college within the same state, the University of Alabama, based in Tuscaloosa only a few hours drive away. This fixture has the scale, intensity and hoopla of a grand national final, but in reality is nothing more a local derby between amateur students.

“Only in America.”

The European mind truly can’t comprehend. Fry wasn’t even in the biggest American college football stadium. Not even close. And Georgia’s 93,000-seat stadium that awes Thorson’s compatriots in Australia? Not the biggest on Georgia’s schedule.
