Visually, Neyland is terrific - seating & everything else is terrible.

Fav: Ole Miss (small but clean lines & great setting)

Least: Kyle Field - Erector Set and bland (close second is Vandy)

I've been to USCe, UGA, UT, Auburn, and Bama. Out of those, I'd probably pick UGA. They were playing a non-conference cupcake when I went, but still seems like a great design.

Also, I'm pretty sure a tropical storm was passing through when I went to UT in 2017. Maybe under better conditions, I could rate Neyland higher.

People sort of took this whole thread and went a different direction.

My whole point was visually

Ok, visually Neyland is ugly. It’s an erector set stadium. There is nothing visually pretty about that stadium.

Neyland when rocking is a great experience.

This is definitely up there with A&M as far as other SEC Stadiums.

Absolutely not. This is one of my least favorites. Honestly, I might put it at the very bottom only above the Gators.

Other than LSU? Quite honestly, ranking 16 stadiums in SEC LSU would not be in top tier. Quite old compared to several others.

Auburn for me has been the best road trip. Atmosphere, fans, and some classic LSU/Auburn matchups have made that trip a favorite of mine.

I will laughed here and that is fine. But I really the set up at Mississippi State. Not the biggest or loudest but it is perfect for them. One of the best if not the best when it comes mid level power 5 schools

I've seen games at Tennessee, Miss State, Texas and Texas A&M.

I was excited to see a big game at Tennessee a couple of years ago. Other than visually awesome sitting there by the river, I found the stadium 40 years behind the times and a letdown.

Texas A&M's refurbished stadium is top of the line and there is plenty of room around the stadium for tailgating and lots of elbow room (unlike Tiger Stadium's east side). Nothing feels cramped. Solid on-campus stadium and pretty easy to get in and out.

It's been over 25 years since I've been to Texas and Miss St so I would not want to speculate on what it's like now.

mean from an architectural design perspective


Been to games at almost all SEC stadiums. Several are enjoyable designs, but I like Florida the best.

Probably Auburn high up the list as well with the exception of their high school north endzone scoreboard.

Bama's good other than the seats being too far from the field. All the sideline walking room between the front row of seats & the field should've been eliminated.

Tennessee is the worst simply because they force over 100,000 people in a stadium meant for 85,000. And there's way too many seats per row.

Not a big fan of Georgia either with one small capacity endzone & a ridiculously high 3rd deck on the sideline.

There is something to be said about a barn Fire and Water misting.
But Sanford aesthetically is nice.

The worst ever WAR MEMORIAL Little Rock. Twice was to much. Reynolds’s is a nice quaint venue.

I prefer the chicks riding around on mopeds with no helmets at The Swamp. But that’s just me.

Samford was the worst I’ve been to. I had 50 yard line seats about half way up the bottom bowl and I felt as if I needed binoculars to see the field.

As much as I hate to give them any credit I liked UF because of its uniqueness.
