Nothing at all wrong with Tennessee's baseball stadium, I like it.

Nothing wrong with the Hump either. Still pretty nice, 40 years later.

Holy Hell Mizzou. I can think of three nearby softball stadiums -- UT's, UTC's (Chattanooga) and even ETSU's -- that are each the Taj Mahal compared to that.

In Oxford, an arena like Auburn's is a "glorious facility".

Holy shite you flop-haired rubes are entertaining.

The Ole Miss softball stadium is better than Missouri's baseball stadium.

The Ole Miss softball stadium is ghetto.

The Arkansas softball stadium is actually nice, if you want to compare one to Missouri's baseball field.

I'm surprised that Vanderbilt Stadium (football) is not getting more hate. It should. I also expected at least a few people to express hate for Memorial Gym. Cool.

Coleman is an embarrassment. I don't know why we decided on baseball renovations and the rowing facility before leveling Coleman. Our baseball program is barely profitable now and might move into being moderately profitable someday. There is a lot more money to be made in basketball if we would invest wisely (new arena and new coach).

I think you missed the point. I don't think our Black Bear friend was pimping his school's softball stadium as much as he was making fun of Mizzou's baseball stadium. I could be wrong though.

What you don't see is people hating on Hawkins Field. And that's as it should be...very nice place to watch a game!

I absolutely hate Memorial Gym. I went up there for the AU vs Vandy game this year. The seating is horrible. Has terrible sight-lines to the court. It is not a dump, but extremely poorly designed.

I really hope our AD gets started on the JHS renovations soon. Our stadium isn't a dump, but it is hideous from the outside and many of the features need updating.

Not SEC, but the worst football stadium I have been to is the Rose Bowl. It is the best atmosphere in college football when the National Championship is there, but the facilities are worse than those of Legion field. There is only one tiny bathroom for half of the stadium and you have to go outside to buy concessions. The seats are very low, but very far from the field. Like I said, it is an amazing venue, but the stadium itself is terrible.

The Hump is not the worse basketball arena much less the worse facility in all 3 sports. Memorial Gymnasium is probably the worst for basketball. Terrible seating, finding your way around the stadium is miserable, and sitting the benches behind the goals is retarded.

The renovations are being pushed back some more (another year). I'm excited to see how it all turns out once it's done.

I could see that, although I really didn't give a shite about all that when I went to the RB . The scenery with the mtns and the sunset are still some of the best anywhere

Ole miss and Vanderbilt have the worst football stadiums in the SEC.

The little kid waving the Confederate flag at us outside the Ole Miss stadium was a nice touch.

And yes, I've been to both.

Vaught-Hemingway is a dump. As far as the field goes you live in Mississippi and can't grow grass. What a POS.

I've been to tons of basketball games at the Hump. Very average place to play. Not the worst, but nothing to get excited about. Especially right now while they are playing shitty basketball.

Vandy's football stadium is just a neutral site venue for SEC games. The away team always brings more fans.

I've never been to the other ones you listed.
