Kyle Field has always been one of the toughest places to play in the nation.

Now, it is getting its due.

On Tuesday, as part of its Rankings Weekly Showcase, EA Sports released its list of the top 25 toughest places to play in the College Football 25 video game.

And to the surprise of no one, expect perhaps those who are fans of a handful of some other rival schools, the home of the Aggies is second to none, with Kyle Field ranking as the No. 1 most difficult stadium in the game.

EA Sports explained their rankings, noting history and attendance among many factors that went into the decision.

"Not all Homefield Advantages are created equal," the College Football 25 team said in the release. "The Development Team worked to compile a list of the Top 25 Toughest Places to Play, factoring in historical stats such as home winning percentage, home game attendance, active home winning streaks, team prestige, and more."

Coming in just behind Kyle Field in the rankings were Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium at No. 2, LSU's Tiger Stadium at No. 3, and Ohio State's Ohio Stadium at No. 4, with Georgia's Sanford Stadium rounding out the top 5.
