Trust me when I say this - no way is Neyland better than Jordan-Hare.

So all they did was drive around and look at the stadiums?? What a waste of time and gas. It's all about the game day atmosphere.

How many teams of the "Elite" stadiums have a losing record to their biggest rival in said home stadium?

Tennessee’s stadium is awesome and their campus is beautiful. It’s a shame their program sucks

Agree here 100%+. Florida’s stadium is definitely a mishmash of architecture. You can tell there was no plan on expansion just kind of built some here and there. Not pleasing to eyes at all.
Size is a bit overrated when rating a stadium. Many other factors are more important than actual capacity.

LSU, if you consider Alabama their biggest rival, and Texas A&M's record vs Texas. Alabama is currently 5-5 vs Auburn at Bryant-Denny (Thanks DuBose and Shula!), while Georgia and Florida I would imagine are each other's "biggest rivals" but play each other on a neutral field.

A&M definitely has the greatest SEC stadium..... without any National Championship banners hanging in it

Agree. Counting in-game atmosphere usually boosts State in these kind of rankings. Counting tailgating usually boosts OM.
Plus, people really shouldn't rate the interior of stadiums empty. Filling with fans will cover up sections looking different, etc.

Tech is our biggest rival and we own them here there and everywhere.
We also have a winning record against Florida in Athens fwiw

I actually would've never guessed that, but I guess they played that game in Birmingham for longer than I thought.
For Georgia, I would've probably thought of Tech since they play Florida on a neutral field
So for this metric, for Florida I was thinking either Florida State or maybe Tennessee?
For LSU: not sure. Might need help with this one. I had originally thought either Bama or Florida, or maybe Arkansas? (prob not the latter)

Literally moved to neutral sites in the early 1900s. It was initially Montgomery, then Birmingham (literally within 2-3 games of being in Montgomery). There were only two games played in Tuscaloosa before the move, and Alabama didn't even have a stadium then (both games were on the Quad). Both of those games, Auburn won. One was part of an 0-4 season in 1895 I think.
A lot of people will say Auburn is 7-5 in Bryant-Denny because they just count the number of games in Tuscaloosa, without realizing those first two there wasn't a stadium on campus to play in. So Auburn is technically 7-5 in Tuscaloosa, but 5-5 in Bryant-Denny.
Interesting tidbit - there was only one tie in the entire series, and it occurred in the final meeting before they stopped playing each other for 40 years.
