No way is that the 24th best stadium in the country.

LSU gets love every year in these rankings and if you're being honest, LSU is not much different than most other SEC stadiums, unless it is a marquee matchup at night. The mid-day CBS games are nothing special and most of the fans hate em. It shortens the drinking time and is hot as ballz. The big night games at LSU is what sets LSU apart IMO.
I would imagine most venues are better for big games

I want to go just to see all the SECs but we don't ever play there so I guess Jacksonville will just have to be a substitute. I've seen all the others except aTm, but obviously it's bc we haven't been there yet.

You, or anyone else who don't understand what he means, are pretty dense.

This list is just dumb. Hell if they think Ole Miss' stadium is #24 they'd probably rank MSU at #19 if they saw it.

Agreed. Auburn and Florida should be much higher, as should South Carolina.

WHY would they use a picture blocked with all that smoke/fog for Auburn. Couldn't really see anything else.
Also, why were some just pictures of outside? I thought the idea would be to show the inside during game day.

How can you rank ND ahead of Michigan? They are the same except Michigans is 35K larger and has the additions.

If it is history, great, PSU makes sense. But again, Arky, LSU, etc. don't have the Big 10 prestige (though admittedly there is value there).
what exactly do you mean by this? Tiger Stadium was built 90 years ago. LSU and the SEC have plenty of "prestige." I guess I don't understand what you're trying to say here. Beaver Stadium was built in the 60s, so what "history" are you talking about? Winning history has little to do with the football stadium, so not sure how that's very relevant.

bullshite list, even though Tiger Stadium is number one.
The Big House at #14? List was invalid right there.

I think 14 is too low, but I was very underwhelmed after seeing a game there, and I was even able to go on the field during the game through my buddy who used to work for their AD. Was impressed with their campus, very beautiful buildings. I just thought their gameday experience paled in comparison to what I'm accustomed in the SEC. Some stadiums that shouldn't be on there are the LA Colosseum and Vaught Hemmingway. I also felt like Jordan Hare was too low on that list at 16.

Ole Miss doesn't even have the nicest stadium in the state of Mississippi much less the #24 overall
