Liberty Bowl will be at home this year, huh?

We even give chair back seating to those lucky visitors who score some of the 2,000 SEC-mandated lower bowl seats behind the visitor's bench.
Anything below row 10 on either sideline and all you're gonna be seeing is players' asses the whole game. You'll be watching on the screen. One of my very few gripes about Tiger Stadium.

We could "selflessly" make those all visitors seats...yeah that's the ticket!

What were you trying to do with this post? Youre a Kentucky fan, which is a joke in itself. You'd be happy as a clam to make it to the liberty bowl considering you've been to 15 bowls in your 100+ year history. The liberty Bowl is in Memphis, and I just don't understand your post.

Other than the two Arkansas home stadiums, I've attended games at Neyland, VH in Oxford, LSU, TCU, SMU and Kansas. I would rank them as such:
1. LSU's Tiger Stadium - Stadium is impressive in its size. Old and in need of updates, but the experience more than makes up for that. Saturday night down there is really cool.
2. SMU - Tiny. Not much atmosphere. But, it's new and the size fits the status of the program.
3. (tie) VHS at OM and Neyland at Tenn. I guess I'd give Tenn the slight advantage because of the boats and the size, but that's being charitable. Everything they say about the seats is true. They "expand" capacity by repainting the numbers closer together. Underwhelming crowd noise for the number of folks in there.
As for VHS at Oxford, one time to that place is more than enough. They have 1 gate open for visitors sitting in the end zone under the scoreboard. We got in line an hour before kickoff and still didn't get in before the game started. The old lady ripping tickets was doing it manually one at a time. No scanners here. No extra gates open. Just Ethel bending the perforation and ripping the ticket. Then, if you want a coke or popcorn, you get to stand in line underneath the bleachers while garbage falls on you from above.
5. TCU - It's a stadium. With a field. Where they play football. That's it. I know they are renovating in a big way, so maybe it's better, but it was not great when I went in the 1990's
6. Kansas - Most high schools in Texas have bigger/better stadiums than KU. Not only is it small, it's empty. And the football is bad.
