According to this guy, Sanford Stadium is not in the top 5 in the SEC.


Tennessee fans say it's not. That's for sure. But before they can finish saying it, their Oline has moved three times before the snap.

Quite literally because y’all have weird voodoo shite that occurs when you play Alabama in JHS and it has skewed the results


Yes a lot of our big wins were against Bama, but a lot were also against other opponents.

In ‘01 we had a very mediocre team that knocked off #1 Florida. We also beat the 2006 National Title Florida team (their only loss).

We beat #2 UGA in 2017. Beat defending champs and Top 5 LSU in 2004. It’s not just Bama.

Penn St- attended the White Out game 2 years ago. Blew me away. Certainly the best atmosphere I’ve been to outside the SEC. On par with a big game at a top tier SEC school



Was this when OSU was in town? or Michigan? Usually they do it for one of those two and they go all out. It's pretty incredible

I think for almost all of these it has to be a night game with a top 10 opponent or huge rival. LSU/Vandy at noon isn't the same as LSU/Bama at night. Same for OSU/Indiana or OSU/PSU or OSU/ND

Auburn, LSU, Florida are on another level from the other SEC stadiums. Bama, Tenn, and UGA are loud ofcourse but they dont seem to match the other three. A&M was cool but very overrated as far as noise goes.

Voodoo based on two games?
There was no vodoo. Bama attempted a field goal that was short. Auburn executed the run back to perfection. Should have tackled.
Week before against UGA....defensive backs have been taught to knock the ball down since junior high school. They did not.

I’ve been to the Rose Bowl. It’s a cool stadium with a lot of history but you’re so far from the field. It feels nothing like going to a game at LSU, OM, Bama UGA etc

I've been to big time, major matchups at every SEC stadium aside from atm (we've never played there in my life) and gainesville (jacksonville yearly). The truth is that all the big 6 schools are pretty all the same when at their peak. UGA and Bama are just as loud when they decide to be as LSu or AU.

Sustaining noise is a whole differnet conversation altogether and one that defeinitely has some variances from one place to the next. But to say "oh well au/lsu/uf is definitley louder than bama/uga/ten" is simply not true.

This is a tough thing to rank, cause it really boils down to consistency.

There are some stadiums that aren't on the list, but have one-off incredible atmospheres when their teams are successful and playing in big games. Virginia Tech, West Virginia, South Carolina are ones that immediately come to mind.

Obvious bias, but I put that Mississippi State vs. Auburn 2014 game up with any other atmosphere in America. But we only do that about once every 5 years so take that as you will.

Do we cheat with Cowbells? Maybe. But Davis Wade is the loudest stadium in America at full capacity...

And all but three schools have had pro sports in their states since the 1870's. 0 excuse for Mizzou to be what they are.

Jordan Hare is legit home field advantage. Some epic games played there!

Oregon? The Rose Bowl? UCLA gets like 15,000 fans


The Rose Bowl during the Rose Bowl is about as shitty a venue as I have ever been in. Its worse than Grant Field and Kneeland combined. I do not blame UCLA fans for refusing to sit 3 and a half hours in what amounts to the Roman Coliseum but in worse shape...

Most definitely not UGA.

UGA is far better than it used to be but still not what it should be. Still way too many people in the stands who couldn't tell you what the down and distance is at any given point. I haven't seen anyone ask folks to sit down and be quieter in years but I also only go to 2-3 games a year now...the shuttle system, which is the best way to get to the game, makes it more like a NFL game than what it used to be in the 90s and 2000s.
