Jordan-Hare really is just a slightly smaller Death Valley pre-South Endzone Expansion.
I have really enjoyed the atmosphere both times I've visited Auburn. Crazy atmosphere, great fans, tons of hot coeds, plenty of tailgates, just an all around great experience for a gameday.
As far as SEC away trips I've made:
1. Neyland Stadium - Tennessee: I can't say enough good things about the fans. They were the most courteous and welcoming of any I've ever encountered. The concourses are a thing of beauty. It's like a shopping mall or an NFL venue in there. That's something I hope LSU emulates in future renovations. The only complaints I had were that the stadium was clearly designed for only 80,000, but they cram 100,000+ in there with tiny seats. It's also way quieter than a crowd that size should be. Finally, mic'ing your band is bush league. As a bonus, Volunteer navy is a really cool tradition and Knoxville is a great college town.
2. Jordan Hare - Auburn: What an experience. The fans were almost as nice as Tennessee's, but some of the loudest I've experienced. Tailgating and scenery was top notch. If they had 100,000 people in JHS, it would rival Death Valley for loudest crowd.
3. The Swamp - Florida: Auburn with weaker tailgating and unbelievably douchy fans. The Swamp is an incredible venue, however, and deafeningly loud. It's only rival for volume in the SEC is LSU.
4. Razorback Stadium - Arkansas: This one suffers due to timing. Thanksgiving week is a terrible time for a college football game. The stadium was mostly full, I'll give them that, but the atmosphere outside was pretty dead. I'll chalk that up to the holidays. The piggies did get loud, though, all 50,000 of them that day.
5. Vaught-Hemingway Stadium - Ole Miss: Beautiful people, rich tailgating culture, terrible stadium with terrible cheers. Lawd O'Mighty does "Hotty Toddy" suck. Well, at least their fans do fill their erector set stadium that resembles 4 stadiums dropped into place by Chinook helicopters hurriedly before the start of some hastily organized sports tournament in a 3rd world dictatorship. They do have one redeeming quality, however, their BBQ nachos. Those things are freaking fantastic.
