Y'all have, by far, the best in the Big 10 with the best environment. I also give high marks to how the outside of your stadium looks.

FWIW, it makes me happy that not once has The Big House been mentioned. Keep stuffing your already crammed stadium with seats, Michigan. Your stadium will still suck.

BuckeyeFan, before the renovations were done to Ohio Stadium, I was worried that it would affect the historical and "specialness" to it that made it one of the great college football cathedrals. Happy to say that I was wrong and it only made it that much better.

You aren't the only one. Many Ohio State fans were pretty nervous going into the renovation. They did a very good job.

Correction: Excellent job. I like the fact that the arches were maintained in the renovation of your stadium. It's the one thing I wish LSU would have done with the additions to Tiger Stadium, especially since it the Roman Coliseum look of the older "horseshoe" part of Tiger Stadium sets so nice with the Italian Renaissance architecture of LSU.

Our stadium will look so much better in about 4 years.

The jumbotron is being taken down right now, along with some other pretty major renovations.

Are there any plans for any sort of renovations at Tiger Stadium in the near future? I've never had the pleasure of seeing it first hand, but heard(on here) the stadium's gotten a tad run down reccently.

Out of the SEC, probably BYU. They have a pretty nice setup.



In the SEC, probably Auburn or Bama.

The outside needs some work (broken windows in the old dorms that were in the stadium). The new upper decks are incredible and the inside of the stadium is very good. Supposedly we are going to add another upper deck to the South End zone in the near future.

I actually like the older lower bowl part. Well built and so much "mystique" to it. I assume you may be like me, that wherever you travel, if you are in a college town you go to that campus to check it out and see their stadium.

BTW, Bryant-Denny looks very good now but 22 years ago it was a crappy looking stadium that had a capacity under 60,000.

Bryant Denny is a pretty stadium. I'm affraid when they fill it in that it'll look too much like every other stadium though.

Completely. Along with the culture in general. Always fun to see how others do it.

FWIW, I hope we get another home/home with LSU soon enough(even if we are booked till 2020 ). That's a trip I would be for sure making.

Same here. Y'all seem to be on the same level as LSU fans and can trash talk but with good humor. The NC game last year against y'all was good for both fan bases and seems like most of your fans had a good time with us Tigers and vice versa. Big difference from the land thieves trip in January 2004.
