Per Stadium Journey Magazine:
1. Carolina Stadium - Home of the South Carolina Gamecocks
Some places just do college baseball better. Before you walk through the gates and are greeted by two national championship trophies, you’ll be greeted by tailgaters, boiled peanuts, cold beer and general excitement. Baseball season at Carolina Stadium in Columbia, SC is second only to football season. And even that is debatable, depending on who you ask.
Always a strong baseball program, the South Carolina Gamecocks baseball program emerged over the last decade as one of the elite programs in the country. Legendary coach Ray Tanner led a baseball renaissance in Columbia in the 2000s, and the team won two national titles and appeared in the title game a third time in recent years. Perhaps part of the draw for recruits to Columbia is the 8,242-seat capacity gem of a college baseball venue, Carolina Stadium.
2. Alex Box Stadium at Skip Bertman Field - Home of the LSU Tigers
3. Dudy Noble Field - Home of the Mississippi State Bulldogs
7. Baum Stadium at George Cole Field - Home of the Arkansas Razorbacks
12. Foley Field - Home of the Georgia Bulldogs
14. Hawkins Field - Home of the Vanderbilt Commodores
19. Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park - Home of the Texas A&M Aggies
21. Samford Stadium-Hitchcock Field at Plainsman Park - Home of the Auburn Tigers
22. Lindsey Nelson Stadium - Home of the Tennessee Volunteers
26. Oxford-University Stadium Swayze Field - Home of the Mississippi Rebels
39. McKethan Stadium - Home of the Florida Gators
57. Taylor Stadium - Home of the Missouri Tigers
102. Sewell-Thomas Stadium - Home of the Alabama Crimson Tide
127. Cliff Hagan Stadium - Home of the Kentucky Wildcats

List is full of shite.
Alabama played in Bham this year.
Whoever wrote that obviously didn't actually visit the parks.

Foley at 12 and GTech at 5? He must be from somewhere close to Georgia......maybe South Carolina?
Liberty @ 5 and VTech @ 6. He has to be from the east coast.

Above OU Stadium/Swayze Field that are laughable:
Liberty
GT
VT
UGA
Louisiana
Tennessee
Auburn
Charlotte
Samford
I'm sure I could make an argument for more.

Yeah, I too thought ranking Foley that high was odd. They were talking about the whole "experience" at the venue and not just the venue itself. So maybe there's a place behind Foley where hookers hang out giving away oral sex for free, I dunno.....

That was my first thought, he didn't visit any; just regurgitated what he read on the net.

If you're at foley field, you are at least in Athens, Georgia.
Carolina stadium might be great but it's still in Columbia, South Carolina
