Worst ACC (and BCS) stadium -- Duke (agreed)
Best ACC (and BCS) stadium -- Clemson (?)
I agree Clemson's stadium is better than VT's (by a good margin), but best of all?

I saw this list the other day and was hesitant to mention it. The bleacher report is one of those guilty pleasures I sometimes can't resist.
The ACC schools are listed below. Since it is primarily based on atmosphere, I wasn't surprised to see Clemson at the top. I wasn't surprised to see Duke and BC at the bottom. I was a little surprised to see NCSU and MD at 3 & 4. In fact when it got to ~40 I thought they had skipped NCSU!
PS: I think some of the capacities are wrong. NCSU lost capacity when they filled in the end zones with permanent seats. I think Clemson capacity is higher, FSU lower.
