Kentucky's stadium is not the worst. Not even bottom 3, IMO.
I'm pretty sure the ones that usually think Commonwealth is the worst have never made the trip to Lexington. Kind of goes along with the "Worst Road Trip in the SEC" line of thinking as well if they've never been on a Keeneland weekend.

VHS has got to be in the running. I like it of course but it doesn't compare.

Agreed. Commonwealth is just sort of out-dated and those exposed steel beams didn't do much in the way of pleasing aesthetics.
Otherwise, the tailgating scene is pretty good, the amenities are at least average, there is some good stadium food outside of the not-so-great concession stands (BBQ, gumbo/jambalaya, fresh kettle corn) and the new video screen/sound system improved the game experience after 2011.
After the renovations are complete, I expect Commonwealth will be really, really nice. More green space immediately around the stadium, bigger concourses, and modern restrooms. Not to mention the club/loge seating options.

ETA:... Same goes for Vandy in Nashville, another fun trip...

You're missing out, plazadweller.
It's never a bad deal to broaden your horizons & experience new things.
CoMo is a fun town, and their fans are good folks with whom to "gameday."
The stadium may not be the best of the best, but by no means does it suck.

Vanderbilt's stadium is an interesting conundrum of an experience... due to the intimate size, there's not a bad seat in the house. Tickets by SEC standards are very cheap. The stadium is easy to get in and out of, fast access to major roads, interesting locale.
Concourses and stadium concessions are some of the worst on the planet.

With all the expansion in SEC Stadiums, the larger ones now have more of a dome feel. You get very little feel of an open outdoor stadium, with any look of an open sky. TN started the trend, and it looks like the rest of the league is following.

Keeneland alone makes UK a solid trip.
In the old SEC the Dawgs always got a date during Keeneland so they probably have the longest fan experience with the track. Vols and Dores were historically the November days and they suck as cold crappy weather and rain were often part of the experience. Gators usually had the early dates before Keeneland.
Historically Keeneland was 2 weeks in the spring and 2 weeks in the fall. I think they now race 16 days but Monday and Tuesday are dark so it usually stretches to the Friday of the 3rd week. This still usually means only 1 SEC team per year gets to play the double. When UK played LSU more often seems like they were the other school that usually got a Keeneland weekend.

What kind of 6 year old carries around a magnifying glass?

Any mens room makes me regret the flip flops. A pee trough would make me plan ahead against them. I'd be wearing boots.

Has to be MSU. At least VU plays in Nashville.

It's actually more popular than one would think.
Of course it is. As are the troughs on the West side, makes things go by so much quicker, way less wait time.
