Fair enough. I’m not disagreeing with your rankings just making sure your comparisons were fair. Also just out of curiosity what are your rankings based on? Noise, atmosphere/ fan participation, or appearance/aesthetics, comfort/ convenience or combo of all?

I need to make it to some of the other arenas in the SEC. Colonial Life can get loud for the bigger SEC game, but other than that it's extremely average. However I do think it is one of the nicer arenas in the conference.

Literally every football, baseball and basketball thread on Arkansas you can bet there is going to be some State trolls in there. Give it up. We have a overall better sports program than you. Once football gets going again it won't even be close.

The loudest I’ve heard the pmac in the last 5ish years was in the NIT when Wade called a timeout late just to rub it in and the ULL coach nearly lost his shite.

Is that like Bud Seltzer?

Lots of pinned up anger in Arkansas

Nowhere better than Rupp for a big game. But regular games....its extremely meh. I dont go because its not as fun. Theyve got to start selling beer at Rupp and ushering the old blue hairs out of the good sests. Too many passionate UK fans out there for the Rupp atmosphere to be what it is 85% of the time.

This is common knowledge.

You share DNA with worms, eels, chimps, turtles, dogs, cats, bats, orangutans, salamanders, zebras, etc.
So there, Mr. Mississippi Science Nerd.

I remember my first SEC game as a student, back in the late 1990s. Student section has some close seats, if you get there early enough. I took a blonde girl. We got there super early and got down about third row. The first time it got REALLY LOUD we couldn't even hear each other yelling at each other. I remember her looking at me with her eyes big, hands over her ears, mouthing "holy shite".
BWA gets jet-engine loud. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but when it's poppin, its the loudest place I've ever been. Its a great experience that'll leave your ears ringing.

For anyone who hasn't been to Rupp, you'll be extremely underwhelmed.

Lots of places that writer hasn’t been; or, has selective memory...

I went to the Arkansas, Texas game back in 2009. I swear that place was so loud that I had to scream just to talk. I never experienced an environment like that. I didn't go to the Kentucky game but it was loud even on tv.

Not saying it isn’t loud; not tank gunnery or C17 loud, but loud, nonetheless.

Combo of all. Atmosphere, aesthetics and convenience/design would be my top 3 factors.

I attended almost all of the home games back during the Nolan Richardson era. The loudest I've ever heard was actually in Barnhill in 93 when Arkansas beat Kentucky.
