It's a shame our stadium doesn't get more respect nation wide

I can understand why it doesn't though, up until the last major renovation/expansion (2001?) it was pretty below average, and in it's current form it's nice but still not top-tier like some of our competitors and the bluebloods. Others have sacrificed quality for quantity to get to the 100k+ mark, naturally they'll be lauded as some of the loudest. At one time, particularly during the Nutt years, WMS put Razorback stadium to shame as far as raucous crowds and noise. That hasn't been the case in a long time though.

It obviously makes a difference when your team is good and playing a big game, ie Bama in 2010. We haven't had too many (really none) games like that since, and that was by far the most energy I've ever witnessed in DWRRS. Even in a gut wrenching loss that was still the most fun and craziest game I've ever been to.

I think you'll see DWRRS start popping up on these lists after the latest expansion and renovation is done since by all accounts it'll be much nicer throughout and louder due to being closed in. We just need a competitive team to match.
