That first pic of you have our stadium is not Carolina Stadium.

Damn. Did you do all this yourself?
Nice work.
Nice work.

Baum > New Box in my humble opinion. I was a little disappointed in the Box, I feel like LSU took some shortcuts building it. I can only dream Alabama will finally decide to build a new stadium that is anywhere near as nice as either though.
ETA: impressive post though

Very solid post.

Very impressive, I did not realize that Auburns was that highly regarded in comparison to the rest of the stadiums in the country.

Nice post. I've always loved Reckling, it's view of the Med Center is really cool. The view of downtown Chicago from UIC's field is awesome, never seen that before.

Is Texas ranked so highly because of their number of suites? Nothing else about their stadium is nice to me...at all.

Lol at our max capacity of 8500. But I agree with the list
Posted on 2/16/12 at 2:09 pm to lsu711
Carolina stadium should be ahead of Texas.
Personally I'd put it above Box, but pretty much all LSU fans will disagree with me. And they have a right to. Very nice stadium. But we should DEFINITELY be above Texas.
Solid list though.

Looks like the information facility at a state park.

I would like to add to the "shared" stadiums. Furman and Clemson and I think South Carolina play games at Fluor Field in Greenville.

It is my humble opinion that you, or who ever ranked these, has no idea what they are talking about. To put DNF that far down when we own every college baseball attendance record is laughable. I guess y'all go by some other marker.

The UTEXAS stadium looks nice on the outside, but the inside...yuck - no dirt either - it's painted. aTm's renovation is the best NCAA in Texas IMO...

I'd rank Arkansas, LSU and South Carolina
1 A-B and C.
Especially now that LSU has filled in the previously empty spots in the 'avant garde' nouveau architecture style grandstand frame of the new Alex Box with additional box suites and decorative appointments.
Plus the added capacity and the lush exterior grounds and interior luxury and plush appointments, museum, hall of fame, etc.
After those three I would include (in no order)
Ole Miss
Auburn
Florida State
Miss. State
A&M
Clemson
Oregon

I am surprised that UT, with its long history of success & money, money, money does not have a larger stadium & support from its fans. Baseball is not as big as football in Texas, but its highschool programs are numerous & puts out a great many players. Whereas here in La., highschool baseball is "relatively" new, really going back only 20 yrs at best, for the State as a whole anyway. Wondering which 4 weenies own their 4 suites, tho.
