1. tiger stadium - escalator, wide concourse, the most foot room, best food, loudest, best gameday. inconsistent aesthetics.

2. bryant denny - aesthetically better than tiger stadium, incredible game atmosphere second only to tiger stadium. stadium has good functionality. tailgating not as good as ole miss

3. sanford - stadium was nice, functionally ok. concourse bordered on small and concessions were ok. crowd was ok, gameday experience was tied for second with ole miss, second only to lsu. btw, georgia is lying about capacity.

4. the swamp - strange, strange aesthetics. functionally ok. game crowd was excellent, notch below lsu and bama. tailgating was ok.

5. jordan hare - good stadium, decent functionality. very good crowd but not as good as lsu, bama, florida. tailgating was ok.

6. vaught hemingway - one endzone is crap and the other is incredible. stadium has uneven look to it. good crowd. incredible tailgating.

7. neyland - very little tailgating. a lot of metal bleachers. absolutely no room for fans. concourse and signage were TERRIBLE. i don't know if the recent upgrades have improved these things but, i know the steps will still be too steep, no foot room, small seats, etc.

8. husky stadium - great view of the lake. non sec tailgating so, not so good. stadium is a dump but the atmosphere was very good. track pushes seats too far from field.

9. davis wade - gameday experience was terrible. almost no tailgating and no energy like at ole miss, lsu, georgia. my friend from a&m said the walk to the stadium was like a funeral. stadium is functionally pretty good but obviously, looks small and isn't conducive to a great atmosphere.

10. kentucky - felt like a non sec school trying to keep up with sec schools. metal bleachers but, good seats that are all close to the field. crowd was average. tailgating was average.

11. vandy - well, it's vandy.

12. war memorial - no sec game should be played here. however, the tailgating is surprisingly good. better than state, kentucky, vandy.



non campus:

superdome and georgia dome are very similar experiences in my opinion. both great places to watch a game.

capital one bowl - good stadium, good seats. area around the stadium isn't so good.

liberty bowl - decent stadium. area around the stadium is BAD, BAD.

independence bowl - stadium has made improvements. area around stadium creates good atmosphere.

When were you last in Davis Wade stadium? Our tailgating and in-game atmosphere have improved tremendously over the past couple of years. There have been positive posts/articles on MSU's atmosphere by Razorback fans/writers regarding our game last weekend.
