I have two observations:
1) You are an old timer if you remember all these places.
2)You must travel a lot with your Tigers, even to basketball and baseball games.
I saw LSU come into Stokley as a top 5 team around 81. Rudy Macklin, Hi C Carter, among others, represented a very lethal team. All Tennessee had was Dale Ellis. Can’t remember who won, but it was very tough for the visiting team to win in that old building.

No and yes. I know my SEC history well, but most of these places I haven’t been in. I’ve seen games at the Old Box, Georgia Dome, and not much else on that list. I’m just a sucker for history, so I like to sneak into those places when I can. I’ve seen Beard Eaves, Tad Pad, original Dude, and McKethan...but not for
games.
I’ve wandered in to Barnhill and Parker.
I like that sports fans can connect to old shithole facilities just because of good memories. It’s like the first car you drove. Mine was a POS Dodge Dakota, but I loved it.
I think the Old Box was much past its prime, but the memories are still fresh.
