I grew up going to RRS. I think the artificial turf & enclosed glass suites are what make it look nice/crisp. I believe I took this pic at the Ole Miss game in 2010
However, the west facade is nothing i'd write home about

Too bad UGA hasn't been back to RRS since 2009 and we won't be back until the 2020's. This year we get War memorial

I think I may head up to LR for that game. LR gameday isn't bad. A small shitty stadium but LR golf course tailgating > Fayetteville parking lot tailgating
You should have a good time if you decide to go

RRS is very nice. I just hated that the club was behind glass. And that there was no liquor.

I've seen LSUs scoreboard and it's ad city on that thing.
LSU had contracts for ads on both the north and south video boards. When they tore down the south end video board for the expansion, they had to double up the ads on the north end zone video board.
Old south end zone video board
At least LSU cut the old south video board in two and placed it on either end of the north board.
Old north end zone video board
New north end zone video board
That contract is up this year. There should be a lot less ads.

I haven't been to many. It was a total meh experience at Jordan Hare- and that was WITH UGA winning, however that game may have been one of the worse games of SEC football I have seen played live. Both teams were just crap that day.
I really love the way Sanford fits into the campus as a whole. They have made a number of really good improvements with concessions/bathrooms with Reed Alley, but the South side needs to widen the main concourse ( if they can given the constraints of the space). The SW upper levels may have the best view of any stadium. It is just a beautiful panorama of the north campus buildings as they are tiered up the hill. I also love that the trees were kept by the bridge. Due to the open end, it takes a pretty rabid crowd for Sanford to stay loud, but I have spent some pretty idyllic cool Fall afternoons just chilling in the sunshine. I do wish they would upgrade what is on offer for the concessions.

It does, but it doesn't feel nice inside the stadium.
I like Auburn and Georgia's best, but also Alabama's is great.
I won't say LSU because of my bias. Kyle Field was a shite show getting inside the stadium. They have like 1 entrance for one entire side of the stadium it seemed. It was very meh. However, after the renovation it should be great.

It has to be huge, for all them Phat-azz women.

Thankfully that's in the plans to get fixed. I love Reynolds and I wish we could get more of a crowd similar to the 2010 Alabama game. Hell I'd even take all of the negative things that happened to my health and reputation from that game to get crowds like that again. Only time I'd say the noise at Reynolds was in the same boat as Tiger stadium. TS is a shite hole but god damn is it fun (similar to my thoughts on WMS, although not nearly as fun as TS).
Aggies, I like Kyle Field. I went to a lot of games there throughout college. I have a lot of friends that went to A&M. But sorry, I honestly cannot say that its a real college football stadium without cheerleaders. I may rethink my stance when the Waffle House in CS is finished but until then its just a big shitty (pun intended) venue that just so happens to have football played there in the fall.

Kyle has at least 6 I can think of. Sounds like it was a you problem not a Kyle one.

I was thinking the same thing but didn't say it.
Even if that was true (as if any fire inspector/safety code would allow that to be the case), if that's the singular complaint you have about a stadium ... stop trying so hard.

I think a distinction between "nicest" stadium and "best" stadium needs to be made. I think BDS is the nicest when all aspects of a stadium are judged but there are SEC stadiums with more consistently better atmospheres like LSU, Florida, Auburn, and possibly A&M. BDS can get just as loud as these stadiums but it doesn't have as seating as steep as these stadiums and it doesn't stay as consistently loud as these stadiums.
Well said.
Alabama and Arkansas have the nicest stadiums, but you are right about the noise in Bryant Denny. I never felt like the stadium was as loud as LSU or Auburn. I will say it got pretty damn loud when Javier arenas took that punt back in 2007, and Julio went for like 70 yards to clinch the game against LSU in 2009
ETA: As far as noise from my experiences, i'll rank it...
LSU
Auburn
Florida
War Memorial (was stunned how loud it got in the 2006 LSU game)
Alabama
Texas A&M
UGA
Ole Miss
Arkansas (to be fair the stadium was empty. you could tell it could get really loud at capacity)

Yeah, I know.
Busted.
I knew someone would figure out that Kyle Field is fake.
