Missouri maybe?
Our basketball arena is very nice, I’d say comfortably top half of the conference. Football is catching up to the rest of the conference very quickly. Our baseball stadium is worse than some middle schools.

Kyle Field the #1
Reed Arena is probably near the bottom
Olsen Field is mid tier, but will be top 1-2 after the upcoming renovation.

That is the ranking by capacity which isn't a good indicator of how nice a stadium is.

If we’re judging on “niceness” LSU is bottom tier in football and basketball. Baseball isn’t bottom but more middle of the pack. Alex Box is a great environment, don’t get me wrong, but the metal bleachers, on field bullpen, concessions all leave a lot to be desired. I like to say Alex Box was already outdated when they started construction.

LSU
Football -Top 2
Baseball - Top 2
Basketball - Bottom 5 But the Tiger Athletic Foundation (independent of the University and the State) are building a new arena in the near future.)

Football-DWS solid. Not large but a very family friendly stadium and not a bad seat in the house. Had a very renovation in 2014 and another one is in the works in the next few years.
You have a the fieldhouse in one end zone... It may be the nicest high school stadium in the SEC.

2 out of 3 maybe. Those uppers at DWR are sketchy as hell. The steel underneath is more corroded than the UCF one that had to be completely reworked.

Our basketball arena is special.

#7 is a hard pick between Tennessee and Texas A&M but ultimately, this won't even be a question in two months: OU and TX are miles ahead in the basketball venue competition

The concourse areas of the Hump are very nice, I agree. Inside the coliseum still feels extremely dated.
It does look dated above the court, but it was an extremely well designed arena as far as the seating is concerned.

Auburns Plainsman Park is easily one of the cleanest and nicest stadiums.
JordanHare really needs some renovations
Auburn basketball Arena is amazing

They all more or less serve their purpose but college football stadiums, to me, are bad versions of high school stadiums for most fans. The folks in the nicer area and luxury suites have a differing POV but most fans have seats on aluminum benches and its a lot like flying coach. Its worth it for the improved atmosphere but NFL stadiums are MUCH nicer and most of the time the price of admission is less. I hate college games played in NFL stadiums but from an amenities POV the NFL versions are infinitely better on average.

I definitely agree with baseball. They have the best stadium in that department. Doubt they meet it for basketball though. The Hump isn't all that great.

That's probably true. I've heard good things about Missouri's basketball arena.

Bryant Denny has its flaws but it's clearly top half
Sewell Thomas isn't huge but they did a very good job with the rebuild. It's nice and a great place to watch a ballgame. Dunno if it's top half, this league has some beautiful baseball stadiums.
Coleman. LOL.
