You're Nick Saban?

No I think he is trying to say he is so far up Saban's arse that he likes the Yankees because Saban does too. IDK seems a little obsessive.

Obviously football, but the new baseball stadium and practice facility has made tremendous strides.

I will also say that the Jerry Pate practice facility for both the men and women's golf has given them a state of the art facility. Jay Seawall was very open about how poor their facilities were when he got there, and said he couldn't be more grateful for the money they invested into the golf programs.

I've probably been to more New York Yankees games than you've been to Ole Miss games, for what it's worth.

Mizzou Arena. One of the Top 15 nicest arenas in the country.

That wouldn't be that hard really. How many home games are in a season, like 80?

Nobody goes to Ole Miss games, baw. We just eat our cold chicken tenders in the Grove.

I guess if you talk about on a national perspective basis, Founders Park (former Carolina Stadium) is generally considered one of the IF NOT THE best college baseball stadium in the nation:






After that perhaps Colonial Life Arena: it's been around for a little over a decade now, but when it was built it was considered state of the art for collegiate basketball, and it's still an excellent facility:

If going simply by where it ranks in its respective sport, probably lacrosse. Haven't seen a ton, but from what I've heard it may be the nicest in the country. It is known that some opposing coaches won't let their teams change in the visiting locker room because they don't want them to see how much nicer the facility is than their own.


Walked by it on campus when I went to that aborshun of a game. Was very nice, thought it was a soccer field... Impressed

I actually like VH. It, like Auburn and DV has an old-school feel to it.
Whenever I go to an older stadium for the first time (and after too sometimes) I try to visualize what it must have been like in the 50s, 60s and 70s.

But Swayze Field definitely is a great venue.

Waiting to hear from one of my Ole Miss buddies after his first visit to the Pavilion...
But it looks great...



For LSU I think Tiger Stadium, though 82 years old, is an awesome venue just because of the peculiarity of the seats being so close to the field as well as the acoustics of the decks.
The new SEZ upper holds in even more noise as well.

My second favorite would be Alex Box. As much as I loved the old school original Alex Box, this new one is much more roomy and updated.

The PMAC, well. Needs work....

My favorite facility is Neyland for obvious reasons, but our nicest is probably TBA.

Mizzou Arena is one of the nicest basketball venues in the country. It was a great design when it was built and has held up very well. As close as you'll get to a NBA venue in the college ranks.

Our IPF for football is also nice.

Baseball stadium blows cock. Football stadium is pretty average. Will be a lot nicer once the South EZ complex is finished.
