As of right now...Based on noise, crowd, teams record there, etc.
1. LSU-Death Valley
2. Florida-The Swamp
3. Alabama-BDS with expansion
4. Auburn-Still an intimidating place to play
5. Tennessee-110,000 UT fans
Your take?

My list exactly.

State is definitely the worst SEC stadium for a person to watch a game. Who wants to either A) bring earplugs for a game or B) have a headache for the next 36 hours.

To me UF and LSU are a tossup.
Auburn to me was louder than Alabama.
The next would be UGA
eta. to clarify
1. LSU or UF
3. Auburn
4. Alabama
5. UGA
this is from the stadiums I have experienced.

BDS has never seemed that tough to me.

Toughest SEC Stadiums to play in list is all about who's good. You ask this question in 1999 and Tennessee and Florida are always #1 and #2. LSU gets good again they shoot to the top, this is cyclical just like programs themselves.

I would flip flop 3&4

I've never been impressed with UF

Isn't Tiger Stadium called Deaf Valley?

1. Alabama 24, Arkansas 20, Fayetteville, Ark., Sept. 25: The whole city of Fayetteville was bursting at the seams with anticipation all weekend. The scene Friday night on Dickson Street was fantastic, and I can still hear the roar from the Razorback Stadium crowd in my ears and feel the energy. The Hogs’ stadium may seat only 72,000, but it sounded like 172,000 on that festive September Saturday afternoon in the Ozarks.

Depending on the particular season the Top 4 can be shuffled around in any order.
Neyland has lost a lot of its reputation as a vaunted venue the past decade.

I agree, but I think that certain stadiums possess more or less of a home field advantage than others, regardless of the team that is being fielded that year. Coaches that use that to their advantage, playing it up with their players, can scratch out even more of an advantage.
Florida under the zooker is really the only exception at UF in recent memory. Florida would beat a top 5 team away from home like it was nothing, and then get beat by an average team at home the next week.

Since we don't ever play in the swamp, I'd say from a UGA fans perspective:
1 - LSU
2 - Auburn
3 - Tennessee
4 - USCe
5 - Bama
1 - LSU
2 - Auburn
3 - Tennessee
4 - USCe
5 - Bama

It's not a 'tough' place to play because their team is down, but Neyland is still pretty loud. I was surprised last year.

Neyland got pretty rowdy when they thought they had a chance to beat UF last year.

I understand that and agree, the stadium is not even full and a lack of excitement has caused the environment to take a major step back. I've been to every SEC stadium except Arky and MSU and all at night except Ole Miss. Neyland in the 90s was as loud and rowdy as any of them, but I agree its no longer on LSU, UF, and AU's level.

I've always considered Death Valley and the Swamp interchangeable at the top. They're both just on another level of loud

You rarely ever play at UA. It's only happened twice in the last 17 years.
