FOH with Legion Field.


If you are trying to compare the historical relevancy of LSU's stadium to Legion Field, you are a bigger idiot than the average Swamptard. It's not even close. Legion Field hosted more "named" games than any other stadium in the South:

Sam "Bam" Cunningham's game
Punt, Bama, Punt
Bo Over the Top
Wrong way, Bo
The Kick
The Sack

It was the home field to the preeminent college football program in the South, if not the nation. It was the host to the first 2 SECCGs.

LSU's stadium isn't even the most famous or iconic Tiger Stadium.

Will the Coliseum be hosting any of the 2026 North American World Cup, I wonder?


No it will not be.
The 2 in LA will be the Rose Bowl and SoFi Stadium

Multiple Yankee/Sox series in the old and the new stadiums. No matter what, old stadium or new, it felt like a corporate event.



It was a cool place to see a game just for the sheer history of the place if nothing else, but the old Yankee Stadium was just too big for a baseball park to really give the feeling of anything else. Never been to the new one, but it's hard to imagine it feels much different.

Wrigley and Fenway truly FEEL like what you think a baseball park is supposed to feel like.

LSU’s Tiger Stadium is the most iconic college football-only stadium.

This post does nothing more than reinforce what I already said and what you quoted

Should we do a most iconic SEC stadium?

This is a pure outsider persepctive, but I'm tempted to say Tier 1 is Tiger Stadium and The Swamp.

Tier 2 (and I'd put this very close to Tier 1), Jordan-Hare, Sanford, Bryant-Denny and Neyland.

I'm sure some of this is influenced by my age, having really started watching CFB in the mid-late 90's.

I’d say Rose Bowl or Fenway.

But one that hasn’t been mentioned that’s gotta be up there is World Center of Racing, Daytona International Speedway.

Problem is if you are looking for most iconic then Indianapolis Motor Speedway is way way way higher than Daytona

It can never be in the running because its not even the most iconic in its own sport

I am not from there so no homer but The Superdome has probably had as many big events as any.



True but it isn't viewed as a Iconic stadium.

That’s true for the racing world. I guess I was thinking more about Nascar not Indy car racing.

Yankee Stadium is the best “branded” and it’s not even close. If they didn’t build a new one this would take the cake.

So......

Wrigley Field is the answer to your question though.

What exactly is iconic about the Superdome other than being an old dump?
the fans make it iconic. Every other stadium is all about PSLs and luxury boxes, but our fans make us a unique home field which is one reason why we’re tough to beat

Let’s be honest. The team playing there helps the perception of a stadium. Alex Box wouldn’t have been that great if we weren’t going to Omaha every year or two.

Fenway for me. That place radiates history.
