Lsu. Stadium was dirty. People left early. It got loud but very very rarely.

Michigan. It was packed. It was quiet. They think they have an environment. Their environment sucks.

Overrated for college?
(1) Neyland Stadium: First time visiting was 2006. The noise and the checkerboard was cool and lived up to the hype, but every time I've been back the seats are still insanely small. Everything about the venue makes the case for staying at home and watching TV.
(2) Sanford Stadium: I really like the setup of the venue, and how you kind of come upon it from the bridge, but it's not a loud venue in the least.
(3) Clemson Death Valley: Extraordinarily Outdated. Is nice you can leave at HT to drink and come back in.
(4) Rose Bowl: Don't care how historic it is, the first 3 levels of the stadium are below the playing surface. Sightlines are bizarre, getting in/out of those tunnels is a nightmare, and the concession situation is worst in class.
For Pro?
(1) Washington, FedEx Field: There are several college stadiums better than theirs. Nice for road fans, they almost always outnumber the depressed and apathetic locals
(2) Louisiana SuperDome: Credit where due, it's the loudest stadium I've been to, college or pro. But even with all of the renovations, you can't fix bizarre sight lines, mediocre concessions, and cramped walkways. Best views are the 300 level. Upper Level is staggeringly high (and views in corners cut-off parts of the end-zone, and the lower level, depending on where you sit, is weirdly angled as well.
(3) NRG Stadium, Houston: You can tell this stadium was built right before the next generation of stadiums (Dallas, SF/SJ, ATL, new LA) were built. It's large, but rather isolated and unspectacular. There's nothing wrong with the venue, I just expected a bit... more?

Well, we haven't really needed a reason to get loud vs Aggy since y'all started coming here again. I imagine this year will be tad different. The best thing for this rivalry was that 74-72 game last year.
