So in other words, this isn't a ranking system based on OVERALL FACILITIES as stated in the title


In other words, your basketball and baseball facilities are dragging you down.

Is Coleman Coliseum any worse than the P-Mac?


Not by a large amount, but PMAC is newer and been renovated later.

Coleman had a $25 million renovation in 2006.


And needed every penny. PMAC has been renovated more recently than that. In fact, the new BB practice facility was built last year.

In any case, your baseball stadium is what's dragging you down so far.

The A&M impression is pretty accurate, we are strong across the board with a few weak points.

Blue Bell Park for baseball is elite.
Soccer fields and facilities are elite.
Indoor track is outstanding. Outdoor track is blah but is going to get completely redone soon, our track team has definitely earned it.
Tennis is outstanding.
Basketball is very good, not elite but very good.
Softball is very good.
Swimming and Diving is excellent.

We host a lot of NCAA Championships for minor sports which is a decent indicator of facilities.

Football is very good overall and after the renovations will be elite. New weight room is amazing. Indoor facility is great. The plan for the redo of the Bright Complex into a football village looks great. Obviously the big ticket item will be the remodel of Kyle which is estimated to run over $400 mill.

BDS is the best stadium in the SEC...nobody else comes close.

If we're talking strictly structural (which we are), maybe.

I can assure you not enough to land 8th on your shitty list.

Apparently not enough to take the time to read the OP, either that or you were too friggen lazy to make your own list as directed, instead of miserly complaining about mine.

Both your baseball and basketball facilities rank in the bottom half of the conference in capacity. And both are old, refurbished when a wrecking ball was needed instead.

So in the big three revenue sports, your school will soon be behind Ole Miss, when they build their new basketball facility.

LSU and Auburn rank above them because their baseball and basketball facilities are better by comparison.



The P-Mac? You must be joking.

In the last 5-6 years the track was renovated. Brand new softball and soccer stadiums were built that are probably the nicest in the league. The brand new football training center was completed this year and it is the nicest facility of its type in the SEC. The men's and women's bball training facility was completed in 08 and is probably just about as nice as whatever Kentucky has. Neyland was partially renovated, as was the baseball stadium. Both have major additional renovations planned in the future.


Recent renovations to the Aquatic Center at UT put it at or near the top of the conference for swimming and diving.

Why?

#1 football stadium
#12-14 baseball stadium
#6ish basketball arena

Or did I miss something?

That averages out to 7 or very close to 7 depending on if you rank your shithole baseball stadium 12, 13, or 14.

No clue about the other sports, but for the Top 3 I would say Bama at #7 is about right. Maybe 6 tops.
