From the images I’ve seen I think state and Dudy Noble knocked it out of the park with the new stadium. Couple that with their tradition (unlike Arkansas) and I think it’s the league best right now.
2. LSU
3. S.C.

Yeah but it’s still in Starkville, and the Box is in BR.
Baum + Fayetteville = best ballpark in the league
It’s science

1. Dudy Noble (Old and New)
Old only because of the atmosphere/LFL
New because it speaks for itself
2. Alex Box
Something about it I like, Maybe it's because I like Tony Chachere's
3. USCe

LSU - too many ads but a good park
State - not sure getting rid of the family feel for corporate will end well
Vandy - still has feel of old SEC experience
That said not sure it is fair to allow just 3 as SEC is pretty incredible in that most all the parks have advantages expected in only the top 2 or 3 in other conferences.

Nothing about the atmosphere is going to change. You can still grill, you can still bring in coolers full of beer, and you can still create your own seating in your rig. All they did was replace possible lawsuits with permanent structures. The rigs aren't what made LFL special, it was the people grilling and drinking thru all 9 innings.

He said parks, not fans
Sans the Whistler it is a good park to watch a game and old school layout where the sports all touch each other and the main office is just across the street. As example, Tide football is right in all the stuff but Tide softball feels like it is in BFE. When Cats had football, basketball, and baseball all together next to downtown you could walk to all the sports if you worked say on High Street. While this may not seem like a big deal it is much better as a fan to pick from local food joints than be captive audiences to UK's crappy overpriced food.
While I have been to the new CWS for upscale events, the space is fine, but the food is still subpar.

I have seen LSU play in all the parks except Mizzou and UK. All things considered, my non-Alex Box rankings are:
1. State
2. Arkansas
3. Ole Miss

Anyone not having a combo of these are just including their own team because they’re sentimental or flat out homers.

Excluding the Dude,
1) Blue Bell - nice park, great atmosphere (but they should expand it)
2) Founders
2) Swayze

I think it's changed a little bit. I attended a lot of games last year and I literally saw an events group security guard tell Ron Polk that he couldn't smoke his cigar. Polk said, " I built this place." and turned around and continued. Hopefully they shut down that strict rules crap, but we will see.
