Can't wait for this thread to DIAF!

Why come to SEC rant and claim your atmosphere to be the best? Plenty of great atmospheres in SEC you can't rank them neutrally. Enjoy your own.

Been to plenty of games at the Box. I'd honestly say the Box has a better atmosphere than some football stadiums. Would love for The Joe to get like that starting next year.

I'm sure you believe Kyle Field is the best atmosphere in CFB too.

Death Valley is great, and would be insulted to be lumped in with a college baseball facility.

I'm sure the fans just hate being told they provide two of the best atmospheres in the respective sports.

Well, the majority of non-biased rankings for stadium atmospheres say you're talking out of your arse.

LSU fans may be surprised to find out that Swinney is technically right — despite Tiger Stadium being built almost 20 years prior to Clemson’s Memorial Stadium.
As the story goes, Memorial Stadium’s nickname began in the early 1950s from the cemetery that was perched on the adjacent hill overlooking the field.
The name was solidified in the early 1960s when former Clemson coach Frank Howard received what came to be known as “Howard’s Rock” from an alumnus who had plucked it from the sands of California’s Death Valley.
One local legend suggests that a few years later, LSU began to refer to Tiger Stadium as “Deaf Valley” as a way to differentiate between the Tigers of Clemson, but eventually shifted into “Death Valley” after sports writers and opposing fans from other parts of the country confused the thick Southern accent locals used.


From your paper

What's particularly embarrassing is that Clemson falls over itself copying Auburn... yall found the one thing they did first for themselves to copy.

LSU fans denying Clemson coined "Death Valley" first are delusional. Further, why should we care? Our stadium is so thoroughly better that the name "Death Valley" has become synonymous with Tiger Stadium. It's a marathon, not a sprint - they may have started first, but we're kicking their arse.

I hate Arkansas, but they have a great fan base for Football and Baseball.

Over the weekend the people on ESPN were giving hella props to Arkansas' crowd just like they did with LSU's crowd. Have you been to a baseball game at Baum??? It's nice.
