For big games...especially at night.

It will never be like it was in the 80's though...even though capacity is 20k more. Many diehard fans were priced out of season tickets. Also when games weren't on TV every week the crowd stayed the whole game. There is also a good amount of fans that go now just to be seen that really don't contribute much when it comes to cheering.

It's loud but it's very similar to a lot of other SEC venues atmosphere wise.

still a great stadium. Very loud.


I've never heard a doctor, lawyer, CEO, or any kind of C-suite level individual refer to this as being the metric of a stadium.

But I tell you who I have heard....

It’s an amazing atmosphere but like most things these days it’s lost its luster because of how corporate the game has become and those corporate fans leaving at half time.

It’s not uncommon for the stadium to be 1/4 or more empty after half time in a two score or less SEC game. It’s sad really

I don't care who you are or what team you pull for------ that's pretty funny.

Don't knock it until you sit in that post game traffic.

Neyland
Death Valley
The swamp
Jordan Hare

Those are the top tier stadiums. Kyle field is so overrated.

Well we certainly don’t want to get drunk enough to fall asleep at Krystal because then we might get syphilis from a homo Alabama fan teabagging us.

I'll be ok. I'll just stock up on a few more life insurance policies before I go

I went to Columbus in 2005. No way they could be worse than those fans there.

I can almost concur with you since LSU has won the most of any SEC program in Bryant-Denny.

B-D is almost Death Valley east.

Are you guys going to take out seats to add more luxury boxes/seats? A lot of schools started doing that. I think we just finished up that project.

no plans of that to my knowledge. Additional suites were added in the 2014 south endzone expansion. Already have them on the west and east side. not sure how much more demand for suites there could be

Tiger Stadium is The Holy Cathedral of what’s left of college football.

I think so. There are honestly a dozen college stadiums that can produce a top notch atmosphere on a yearly basis. Half of them are in the SEC, and I haven't been to all of them on truly special nights, but I've been to Tiger Stadium on those nights, and I just can't fathom anything topping it.
