Facilities need to look fresh but stadiums have to have atmospheres. Having an extra 20,000 screaming fans make a difference and as the LSU @ UGA game showed it makes for robust TV viewing. Drab concrete of a stadium can be overlooked if there is lots of color and noise from the people "covering" the concrete.
100,000 K Vol fans in brilliant orange creates the atmosphere not the concrete structure itself.
We have fine atmosphere, thanks. And it creates just fine 'robust' tv. And this is before that gay track was changed up, before our addition that's in progress. Size matters, but the motion of the ocean is very relevant too.

Fine to who?
Vols in the 90's was unreal. They were fighting neck and neck for top attendance with Michigan and the place was just insane crazy with fans and noise. This was before ribbon boards, jumbotrons, sound systems that have taken over now and even then I would trade that for what has happened since. If you were not there I have no way to convey to you just how awesome the experience was.
I am willing to bet if you took a Vol fan who experienced that and plopped them in Mizzou right now they would say there was no comparison. What you take as people knocking Mizzou is not about Mizzou but how that compares to what SEC fans have experienced with at bigger and louder stadiums during their time as SEC fans.

Look at the experience another way...
Last year UK played @ Mizzou (for homecoming no less) and the Tigers drew 67,853 which is respectable and close to capacity
This year UK plays @ South Carolina and the game is already SOLD OUT LINK and they seat 80,250
