Razorback Stadium definitely isn't the worst. I would say its the nicest of the smaller stadiums and it's about to get another renovations to add even more luxury seats


You could honestly make the case that Reynolds Razorback Stadium is the best overall stadium in the SEC. The Hogs are well ahead of the curve to entice fans away from their comfortable couches and HD TV's.

RRS has the third-most suites and the most overall premium seating in the SEC. Their new endzone expansion will add even more suites and premium seats, making Arkansas the leader in both categories.

Premium seating is where the smart money is these days. Every stadium expansion from now on out will focus on adding premium seating instead of general seats.

Oklahoma's Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium is the latest example. The Sooners plan on enclosing the south end zone and adding additional suites, as well as renovating existing suites and upgrading the press box.

According to a report from Oklahoma news station KWTV, what is being called the "Master Expansion Plan for Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium" has been approved.

The expansion is expected to cost between $350 and $400 million dollars, which will pay for additional seats in the south end zone, increasing the stadium's capacity from 82,112 to over 90.000. Other parts of the plan included completely renovated suites, an entirely new and expanded press box, and facilities upgrades such as a new weight room. The work would begin immediately following the Sooners' final 2014 home game and be completed in time for the 2015 season kick-off on September 5.
