Newer, better amenities and cleaner than the rest.
Tiger Stadiums restrooms have all been renovated, and ten more new restrooms have been added to the lower bowl, for a total of 48 lower bowl restrooms.
The concessions stands have also been completely renovated. Graphics have been added to the restroom/concessions in the SEZ upper....
So as far as "clean" and "amenities" go, Tiger Stadium has more than either Kyle Field or Bryant-Denny. I'm guessing only Arkansas's RRS would have more restrooms now.
All that being said, my vote would go to UK's Kroger Field...
Best exterior with the most uniform interior. A great renovation!

SECrant has a hard on for anything anti A&M.
This exact question was asked on Reddit and most SEC fans said Kyle Field looked the nicest. But on here everyone hates Kyle Field.

Well, this angle certainly isn't flattering...
...which is why I voted for UK's Kroger Field...

Personally, I really like General Neyland's giant erector set by the river.
Me too. Many people here ride up the river and right up to Neyland. It is a great trip, and east Tennessee has great scenery in late October.

Have been to all except Arkansas.
Kyle Field is the best stadium in the league and Mizzou's or Vandy's is the worst. Miss. State was also awful but I haven't been since Croom was patrolling the sidelines so I will assume it got better during the Mullen era.

UGAs looks weird with the 3rd deck. Never liked it

100% this when you consider the whole package.

If you consider the whole package...restrooms, concessions, sightlines. ease of access...then it's Tiger Stadium by a country mile.
The sidelines at Tiger Stadium run straight up and down the field, and there is no dead space between the stands and the field. That eliminates BDS and similar stadiums, with their ocean of dead space at the 50 yard line.
As I noted before, 100% of Tiger Stadium's restrooms and concessions have been renovated, and ten new restrooms built. I'd have to take a closer look at Arkansas's new addition, but that would be the only stadium in this conference, and probably the country that has more bathrooms.
Of course, Tiger Stadium provides unmatched ease of access to fans by having the most exits in the stands...which means everyone is closer to an exit than would be the case in other stadiums. It was just designed better.
Fans come to stadiums to watch a game. At Tiger Stadium, their time spent getting to and from their seats when visiting the restrooms or concessions is minimized. And they get great sightlines to begin with.
And it's a beautiful, well-constructed stadium. 100% steel-reinforced concrete.
No erector set.

A&m just built 2 of the 4 sides of Kyle from the ground up and extensively renovated the east side including tearing out and rebuilding the first deck. the north side is less than 20 years old. Hard to believe tiger has more/better restrooms and concessions, based on the fact that a&m was able to clean sheet over half of the stadium.
In addition, if you’re sitting on the west side of Kyle for an afternoon game, you either have access to an air conditioned concourse or are in the shade.

From a tackle box to a massive tennis stadium with some squared brick corners and various other facade.

It's a fact that there are more now, and there are plans to add more still. And I'm not just talking the lower bowl. In addition, the vast majority of Kyle Field's upper decks are bleachers, with a minimum of amenities, whereas Tiger Stadium's uppers are 80% premium seating, with more and a better level of amenities offered. Tiger Stadium has significantly more premium seating than Kyle Field.

FYI: a continuous bleacher with continuous back rest is not considered premium in most places.

I’d be interested to see a list of which amenities are offered on the upper deck of Tiger that aren’t offered at Kyle.

I haven't been to all that many major stadiums but Bryant-Denny is basically perfect.

What does that have to do with Tiger Stadium's upper decks? Nothing sound about right? Because those are individual chairbacks.
If you are talking about the seats in the lower bowl along the sidelines, those are individual seats with a common back. In other words, completely the opposite of what you said.

More and better restrooms and concessions, free food, alcohol available to purchase in the premium areas. The west side upper at Tiger Stadium has 3,250 club seats. The east side has 70 suites. The south side has 70 suites, 3,000+ seats in Stadium Club South, another 1,500+ seats in the Skyline Club at the top.

With a lot of links in it...try and keep up.

Pretty much.
The only thing JHS is good for is loudness. I wish we would take steps to give it a more finished and polished look.

Every school has this.
EDIT: on 2nd thought...most of your claims aren’t based on actual facts so there’s never an end to this back/forth. I’ve wasted too much of a Saturday on this already. I’m out.

140 Suites? Miss those? And the 8,000 club seats? In addition to the gold chairbacks?
quote:
More and better restrooms and concessions
I've provided links saying Tiger Stadium has renovated all of both the restrooms and concessions, plus added 10 more restrooms in the lower bowl. If you've been to both stadiums, or all of the SEC stadiums as I have, you know which has more. (I haven't been to Miss. State's since it was last renovated, and look forward to visiting Arkansas's stadium post reno. And other schools have renos going...ongoing process.)

I see, since you can't refute, you're taking your ball and going home.
