Must have been a non-conference day game.

1) Jordan-Hare Stadium (Auburn)
But but but Auburn sucks. We're just a shitty ag school in the middle of a cow pasture. Right?

Helped keep me entertained while I was bored to tears at work.

BDS is the nicest in the country. I'll leave it off my list for this thread, though.
1. Razorback Stadium - extremely nice, great atmosphere, too
2. Tiger Stadium - I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the people were. The stadium itself is very "meh", but the atmosphere was great, and the people were fun. Great experience overall.
3. Jordan Hare Stadium - Fairly nice stadium, great atmosphere, pretty girls.
4. Ben Hill Griffin - One of the best atmospheres I've experienced at a game. Stadium isn't very "pretty" to me, but it was rockin' and the people were nice.
5. Samford Stadium - reminded me a lot of BDS. Terrific atmosphere (went for the Blackout), and I would have ranked them higher, except the fans that I encountered were some of the nastiest, rudest people I've ever encountered. It was nice to hear the silence that 31-0 at halftime brings.
6. Commonwealth Stadium - This was a pleasant surprise for me. The stadium was actually fairly nice, but the atmosphere was lacking. Beautiful weather, and the people were great. The loudest point of the game was when they introduced the Basketball team at halftime.
7. Neyland Stadium - Not ranked higher because the seats are about 6 inches wide, and it looks like a giant erector set. Atmosphere was a little disappointing, too. I regret not going to see a game in Neyland in the late 90's, and early 2000s.
8. Vaught-Hemmingway - One of 3 high school stadiums in the SEC. Not very nice overall, and the "2003 SEC West Champions" banner was a little off-putting. People were nice, but the Grove was overrated. Overall a decent stadium experience.
9. Davis-Wade Stadium - The 2nd of 3 high school stadiums in the SEC. The atmosphere wasn't bad... for the first quarter. The people are decent. Tailgating sucks. Cowbells are annoying... and the MSU fans that I came in contact with just lacked an overall passion for the game. That's understandable, I suppose. They also seemed to lack some fairly basic football knowledge.
Dudley Field/Vanderbilt Stadium (Is that what it's called?) - The last of 3 high school stadiums. I went for the 2007 game, and it was pretty neat to see 95% of the crowd wearing Crimson. Complete lack of caring for football by the fanbase and student body as a whole. Atmosphere was that of Bryant-Denny light, because it was essentially a home game in a high school stadium for us. Very small, and kinda sneaks up on you as you're walking towards it.
The only SEC stadium I haven't visited is South Carolina's.

Well, I was kinda secluded from them at the game - in the top corner of the endzone in the middle of Bama fans
But on the way into the stadium, we had a group of people who were breaking down their tailgating area and about to head into the game allow us to watch the end of the Auburn/South Carolina game, and then they helped direct us towards the stadium. Also had a group that we tailgated with that were awesome. Didn't have a single negative experience other than getting Gator Baited

Well, I obviously would chose Toger Stadium.....
But, without choosing a homegirls I'd say:
Neyland (its cool seeing the orange, I loved the team running through the T, and they tailgate on the water...Win.
Vaught-Hemmingway is pretty cool. Small, but very nice.
Every other stadium I've been to, nip thing really stood out...

Some parts are nice. Some parts are in desperate need of a facelift.
Gonna be nice when I get to spend 7 saturdays a year in this lil gem.
The approach from The Grove:
And I have full confidence in Bjork to expedite the fundraising and make this happen sooner rather than later. Having said that, it will be atleast 3 seasons before VHS looks like this.

LOL. You know a stadium is great when its fans need to go to a high school stadium to play 2 of their home games.

2nd nicest in the country behind Bryany-Denny.

I know we aren't truly apart of the SEC yet, but I've done my fair share of traveling across SEC country for games.
This is how I'd rank the stadiums I've been to.
1) BDS
2) Tiger Stadium
3) Neyland
4) Commonwealth
As far as overall gameday atmosphere/tailgating, I'd put LSU at #1 and BDS at #2.
