How do we stand up along side the others. I mean we have all seen what A&M has done and yeah makes me a little green but also makes me also believe we aren't far behind with those kinda updates as well. Also just for shits and discussion purposes anyone have any pictures of LSU facilities??

Yeah all sports is cool and all and I know we are Top 3 for all sports, but since I'm Jonesing for football that's all I care about today.

All sports? Top 3 for me. Football? Meh.

They are so fricking awesome, we don't let quality OOC opponents play there.

When they get done with their football expansion/renovation they're probably top-5 overall. Baseball and track facilities are up there, just catching up with football.

Bama UF TAMU Tennessee LSU are top 5 with LSU as 5th.

UF doesn't even have an indoor field for their football team.

I'm pretty sure UF has shifty facilities. They don't even have a indoor football facility

I wasn't doing my list. I was going by one I saw early this summer. It rated all the facilities in the nation. I just put TAMU with Bama because I actually saw theirs.
ETA: After looking at their facilities on youtube, I'd put them behind us, don't know how far though.

Alabama has the nicest stadium in the SEC.
LSU's facilities rank near the top.
Lol at that list with Florida third.

UF's facilities are not better than LSU's. Sorry!
Posted on 8/1/14 at 8:54 pm to Datbayoubengal
Ours will be at the top or #2 in a year from now

Like Arkansas's upgrades after finding out i saw that video last year. I'd put them top 5.
Posted on 8/1/14 at 9:09 pm to Datbayoubengal
I saw them in person last year...very very nice set up
Posted on 8/1/14 at 9:12 pm to Datbayoubengal
Auburn has nicer facilities than UF
Also I'd put UGA up there, they are just lacking on an indoor facility, something UF lacks.
1a. Bama
1b LSU

Not if you're watching a game from the stands. The curved sidelines mean all the fans in the lower bowl and the upper decks sit much farther away from the field than is true of Tiger Stadium...
Tiger Stadium
BDS
Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Mississippi State, South Carolina, UK, Mizzou, OM, and MSU all share the same design flaw from back when they were constructed. They had a track inside the stadium, something Tiger Stadium never did.
JHS
UGA's Sanford Stadium
USCe's Williams-Brice Stadium
Ole Miss's Vaught-Hemingway Stadium
Mississippi State's Davis Wade Stadium
UK's Commonwealth Stadium
Mizzou's Faurot Field
Tiger Stadium was designed better than these stadiums from the beginning. And thank god.
I'd go so far as to say that BDS is one of the worst places to watch a game in. Other than the end zone lower bowl, every seat in that stadium is much farther away from the field than the comparable seat at Tiger Stadium.
Take another look...
...there's the equivalent of an end zone's worth of space at the 50 yard line. And the field at BDS is off-center to boot.
Whereas Tiger Stadium's sidelines run in a straight line and as a result the seats are much closer to the field. And the field at Tiger Stadium is at least dead center. Tiger Stadium was just designed better from the outset than was BDS.
And don't get me started on the end zone upper decks...Tiger Stadium's south end zone upper deck seats are only about as far away as the first few rows in the east and west upper decks.
Whereas the old school end zone upper decks at BDS hang the fans out over the sidewalks outside of the stadium.
Simply put, Tiger Stadium has the best combination of seats, suites, premium seating overall, and the highest amount of chair back seating overall among all the stadiums in the conference.
So to compare the four largest stadiums...
1) Tiger Stadium - Fourth-largest, second-most suites (highest total suite capacity, all have a capacity of 23), second-most premium seating in SEC. Also has most chair back seats in SEC stadiums.
2) Bryant-Denny Stadium - Third-largest, most suites (most are fairly small at 16 capacity, with a few at 23), fourth-most premium seating in SEC.
3) Kyle Field - Largest, fifth-most suites (Founder's Suites will be largest suites in SEC), third-most premium seating in SEC.
4) Neyland Stadium - Second-largest, fourth-most suites, fifth-most premium seating in SEC.
A tribute to Tiger Stadium...best stadium in the SEC!
In addition, fans at Tiger Stadium sit closer to the exits and also have more exits to choose from to begin with. Which makes it easier for fans in Tiger Stadium to get up, go to the restroom or the concessions.
Tiger Stadium is hands-down the best place to watch a game in the SEC!
