Nicest Stadium You Have Ever Been To

DWRRS.

Of course, I've only been to RRS, WMS, and Vaught-Hemingway, so it's an easy call.

Best view was Husky Stadium in Seattle. Unfortunately, the stadium itself was garbage.

Track around the field FTL.

you just want people to say bama don't you?


Honestly though, that's a tough one. I think once you get to that top tier of all the things you mentioned it's just a large group. Bama, LSU, Georgia, Auburn all meet that criteria and I look forward to going to those places each time.

I won't count Tiger Stadium because of bias, but I love UGA's stadium. Went back in 1999 when LSU played there. Haven't been to Alabama's yet, but from the pictures, that one looks like the best in the league right now.

JHS...but ive only been to BDS, Sanford, Williams-Brice, and Neyland

eta: didnt know this was for all sports. In that case, ill go with the old Yankee Stadium...its probably not the "nicest", but it is where i enjoyed myself the most. got to go the last season and just fell in love. just an unreal feeling when you step inside that every baseball fan should have gotten to experience. one of the greatest days in my life, and i hate the yankees

another vote for bobby dodd stadium. extremely nice, well kept, fans at tech were great.

1. tiger stadium - escalator, wide concourse, the most foot room, best food, loudest, best gameday. inconsistent aesthetics.

2. bryant denny - aesthetically better than tiger stadium, incredible game atmosphere second only to tiger stadium. stadium has good functionality. tailgating not as good as ole miss

3. sanford - stadium was nice, functionally ok. concourse bordered on small and concessions were ok. crowd was ok, gameday experience was tied for second with ole miss, second only to lsu. btw, georgia is lying about capacity.

4. the swamp - strange, strange aesthetics. functionally ok. game crowd was excellent, notch below lsu and bama. tailgating was ok.

5. jordan hare - good stadium, decent functionality. very good crowd but not as good as lsu, bama, florida. tailgating was ok.

6. vaught hemingway - one endzone is crap and the other is incredible. stadium has uneven look to it. good crowd. incredible tailgating.

7. neyland - very little tailgating. a lot of metal bleachers. absolutely no room for fans. concourse and signage were TERRIBLE. i don't know if the recent upgrades have improved these things but, i know the steps will still be too steep, no foot room, small seats, etc.

8. husky stadium - great view of the lake. non sec tailgating so, not so good. stadium is a dump but the atmosphere was very good. track pushes seats too far from field.

9. davis wade - gameday experience was terrible. almost no tailgating and no energy like at ole miss, lsu, georgia. my friend from a&m said the walk to the stadium was like a funeral. stadium is functionally pretty good but obviously, looks small and isn't conducive to a great atmosphere.

10. kentucky - felt like a non sec school trying to keep up with sec schools. metal bleachers but, good seats that are all close to the field. crowd was average. tailgating was average.

11. vandy - well, it's vandy.

12. war memorial - no sec game should be played here. however, the tailgating is surprisingly good. better than state, kentucky, vandy.



non campus:

superdome and georgia dome are very similar experiences in my opinion. both great places to watch a game.

capital one bowl - good stadium, good seats. area around the stadium isn't so good.

liberty bowl - decent stadium. area around the stadium is BAD, BAD.

independence bowl - stadium has made improvements. area around stadium creates good atmosphere.

The Yale Bowl for the Harvard - Yale game is about as good as it gets in the true spirit of college football. UMass also has a nice atmosphere. I like the older campus feel for college football.

Asthetically pleasing to the eye, Loud, Fun Gameday experience, etc.

I see no stipulations on this, so here goes...

SEC: I have seen games in DWRRS, War Memorial, Tiger Stadium, Neyland and Old Miss.

I would rate them aesthetically as such:

1. DWRRS - Great amenities, huge Pig-Screen, Gorgeous setting in the mountains

2. Tiger Stadium - Love the classic feel, Golden Girls

3. Neyland - Looks like they forgot to finish it on the outside. Orange is ugly. Seats only wide enough for one cheek

4. War Memorial - Got that "broken in" look. Bit of a dump, but it's OUR dump.


5. Old Miss - Absolutely NO redeeming features. It rains garbage underneath the bleachers all game. Banners commemorating division co-championships. A student section clad mostly in seer-sucker. Smaller than most high school stadiums in texas

Now, for ALL Stadiums I've ever seen a game in...

1. Dallas Cowboys Stadium
2. Camden Yards
3. Dodger Stadium
4. Texas Stadium
5. SMU's new on-campus stadium
6. Old Texas Rangers Stadium
7. New Comiskey Park
8. Cotton Bowl
9. Orange Bowl
10. That place they played the Music City Bowl
11. Independence Bowl Stadium
