In my opinion it was from 2003-2012. I was still just a lad for most of that time so I might be a little biased, but I’ll certainly take those years over the present at the least.
For some of you more experienced folk, what was the place like before the 21st century?

Hard to argue against that but there have been multiple good runs. Individual games have been top notch as well, such as 2008 Bama, 2012 Bama, 2022 Bama, 2007 Florida, 2024 Ole Miss. I hate that they stormed the field for last year's Ole Miss win but the atmosphere for that game was really good.

The Jacob Hester dive over the goal line against Florida was the pinnacle of Tiger Stadium

2003 UGA was something special as well.

I second, third and fourth UGA 2003. The stadium after UGA tied the score on the 90 yard screen pass was amazing. I knew right then we had turned it around.

First decade of the century with 2007 with Va Tech, Auburn, Florida and Arkansas being the best ever. The Florida game that year is top 5 all-time.
On a side not, for a single season, 2019 with Auburn, Florida and Texas A&M was also great for obvious reasons. I went to all three, and if A&M had not been a blowout early, imo it would go down as the best atmosphere of all-time. Burrow's last home game, the stupid loss from '18 as a backdrop and trying to be the first undefeated time in 60 plus years. That pregame and first quarter crowd was there early, nasty and out for blood.

The 1970’s before all of the additions and TV timeouts.

1995-2007
After this you started seeing changes in people attending, leaving early, the tailgate and overall mystique.
RIP Chainlink fence!

2000-2003 was incredible. Fans got excited without expecting to win every game. We didnt wanna fire Saban after each loss. But we got solid games with incredible rise to success that we hadn’t experienced since the early 80s. The 2004-2006 years we were expecting greatness too much. Even in 2007 we wanted to fire Pelini and Miles after each bad drive.

A day game vs Ohio St in 1987 they couldn’t snap the ball because of noise!
