Doesn't Tulane use the Superdome?
Not any more. They moved back on campus. I think this will be their third year at Yulman. Either way, The Dome sits only a hair over 70k. IIRC.

California - USC and Rose Bowl
Used to be 4.
Coliseum
Rose Bowl
Stanford Stadium
California Memorial Stadium
In the '70s they took California Memorial Stadium down below 82k in capacity and then in the '00s they reduced it again after a big renovation.
Stanford Stadium was razed and rebuilt much smaller in 2005 if I remember correctly, but it had been something like 85-89k capacity before.

New Stanford Stadium is fantastic. The only one was just way too big to be practical at all.
USC is actually reducing seating at the Coliseum significantly when they do the remodel so I think it's going down to less than 80K

So basically, what schools in the SEC aren't flagships of their state

Yeah, they're getting rid of a lot of those seats, which are currently the worst of any venue I can possibly imagine. If you're stuck sitting there currently, there is zero reason to go to the game because you can't see shite anyway.

Plus, you'd get splinters in your arse from the shitty wooden benches.
Because they got rid of the track, supposedly the farthest seats in the new stadium are closer to the field than the previous closest seats had been.

SC has control of the stadium now, right? I don't mean ownership, but they are lease #1 these days and can modify it how they like within reason I think. It's going to be pretty wild when the Trojans share use with the Rams.

I disagree that the Rose Bowl and the LA Colosseum are "college" stadiums attached to the universities.
The Colosseum was built by the City of Los Angeles to compete for the 1924 Olympics.
The Rose Bowl was built by the City of Pasadena in 1922. It only started serving as the home of UCLA in 1982.
They don't count, in my opinion.
That's exactly what I was trying to say ... but then, naturally, some wanted to make it about last year's attendance and yet others wanted to make it about on-campus only and then others wanna make it about whether there is bench seating or chair back seating ... you can't have nice things around here. You just can't.

Ole Miss maybe. State just added 6,000 seats in 2014. State will probably add just enough seats to beat Ole Miss . It's a pissing match on who has the biggest seating capacity.

The city of Los Angeles alone has this. Texas has two stadiums that seat over 100k
