UGA's Sanford Stadium would be in the top half for football arenas. Basketball and baseball, I don't think so.
On second thought, UGA's Stegeman Coliseum (basketball) has been greatly improved both outside and inside. I especially love its looks on the outside.....sorta like a giant flying saucer that's just landed (you UFO weirdo's would love it).
Don't really see the UFO thing. Looks like typical 1960s futuristic architecture (I have no idea when it was really built though).
But hey, I have to envy it. My campus in general is 1950s basic brown.

With the addition of the west upper deck in 1980 and the east upper deck in 1987, the stadium became the largest in the state of Alabama until the 2006 and 2010 expansion of Bryant–Denny Stadium (capacity 101,821[13]) at Alabama and 3rd behind Tenn, LSU in capacity.
An expansion in 2004 extended the east upper deck by an additional section on each end, adding more luxury suites and additional general seating to reach the capacity of 87,451, which was expanded to 88,043 in 2023 with the addition of additional premium seating.
Bama has spent close to $200 million dollars to boast a seating capacity roughly 10,000 more seats than JHS. 20 years to catch up and go ahead.
Aubie is spending $$$ on all sports. Big Al can’t afford a gym!

We've been spending money on renovations that reduced capacity the last 10 years.

And Alabama is winning, bigly, at all sports. You guys should get better at allocating resources, I guess.
