In all seriousness, I would lump: The Swamp, Bryant-Denny, Sanford, Kyle, Neyland, and The Jungle all about equal - just a pubic hair molecule behind Death Valley......

And all 7 of these venues have been ranked in the Top 5 NATIONALLY by one poll or publication or another.

Wms-Brice, Commonwealth, and Razorback are great as well....

All of these have something unique to them that one could consider the best. But IMO, there's no way to objectively call a particular one definitely better than the rest

Come 2015, these rankings will be futile and there will be one distinct advantage holder in all of these ranking criteria.

granted, i've haven't been to a game there yet, but Kyle Field always seems so dead on TV... maybe it's because of years of crappy B12 games with early kickoffs (and their two biggest home games last year were losses)... but it's never looked impressive.

All the empty space in your waste-of-money stadium allows for more elbow room?

No they didn't. I agree. As I mentioned above, no less than 7 SEC stadiums have been ranked in the Top 5 NATIONALLY (Not just the SEC) in various past polls, rankings, and publications like this.
It's just one opinion....

I don't necessarily expect Alabama to be on top of the list. We split time between two stadiums for far too long, but 6th on a list? Come on. Our updates in 2006 and 2010 have to make it one of the five best in the country, let alone the SEC.

Brian Dennehy stadium isn't an impact venue. The game against Aggy last year proved that the only team from Alabama that can overcome a 20 point deficit in Brian Dennehy is Auburn.

Also, Auburn is too low in my estimation.

If you knew how to read..

Kyle Field is currently the oldest venue in the conference and averaged one of the highest attendance percentiles in the nation (105.3% capacity) a year ago.


Elbow room is something they should've considered in the design of the stadium.

Over the years in the various polls the stadiums consistently listed as top 5 were LSU, A&M and Fla.

I tend to agree.

We could fill Kyle with 88000 mutes and we will still demolish you by 40+ again next year
