I'm not sure what exactly the criteria they're using for their rankings. On "physical beauty" of the stadium (architecture, setting), having been to some of them and seen others only in pictures, I'd rank the 5 "nicest" as...

1. Georgia's Sanford (no bias here)
2. Alabama's Bryant-Denny
3. Arkansas' Razorback
4. Texas A&M's Kyle
5. Ole Miss' Vaught-Hemmingway


The 5 "ugliest" in the SEC are...

1. Florida's Swamp
2. Tennessee's Neyland
3. South Carolina's W Brice
4. LSU's Tiger
5. Florida's Swamp (any stadium painted in blue & orange---choke!-- with it's end zones sticking out like a pair of warts is UUUUUGLY! So ugly, it had to be listed twice).

No. Im saying that Alabama's WINNING PERCENTAGE in TS is better than LSU's.

Don't you see how that would have more impact if Alabama weren't the premiere program in the country? You're literally saying, "Tiger Stadium can't be that great if Alabama can win so much there." Did it ever occur to you that that might say more for Alabama than it says against Tiger Stadium?

How many other stadiums does Alabama have a better win% in than the home team? Certainly not Auburn, right? that must prove that Auburn's stadium is tougher to play in than LSU's, right?

Except that LSU has a better win% at Auburn than Alabama does, and Auburn has a worse win% in Tiger Stadium than LSU has at Auburn - as well as a worse win% in Tiger Stadium than they do at B-D stadium. As a matter of fact, Auburn has the worst win% at LSU than any other SEC stadium.

FYI, the more you use Alabama to compare LSU to, the more you elevate the status of LSU. I'm not sure why y'all have seemingly completely forgotten about Tennessee.

Whether he liked or disliked playing there has absolutely nothing to do with his W-L record dipshit.

I would’ve thought coming from the “divine” Coach Bryant you would taken it as holy writ

To be honest, none of these stadiums are what they were 10-15 years ago. Too many students not going, leaving at halftime, or just not interested in a crappy opponent.

State's stadium and atmosphere are leaps and bounds better than they were 10-15 years ago.

The two teams that will compete year in and year out for the national championship going forward are properly ranked 1 & 2.


Agreed.
I mean realistically speaking, A&M and LSU are the only schools that can win in spite of their coach. Bama loses saban, and they go the way of Nebraska.

Some more of that coonass logic.....why is Louisiana cursed with so many of you certifiable morons?..must be something in that swamp water.

An actual joke that circulated throughout Alabama in the 70s:
During Alabama's stadium enlargement construction periods, Coach Bryant called Coach McClendon to see if it would be possible for Alabama to schedule several of their games at Tiger Stadium if LSU happened to be playing on the road that weekend.

Ray Perkins: 1-0-1 in Tiger Stadium
Bill Curry: 2-0 in Tiger Stadium
Gene Stallings: 4-0 in Tiger Stadium
Mike DuBose: 1-1 in Tiger Stadium
