re: SEC gameday atmospheres ranked

I have to say, I agree with LSU being number 1 so long as Baton Rouge isn't considered a major factor. Great atmosphere around the stadium, but the city feels like going to Legion Field for a game.

I know this will seem biased but,

1. wtf is gsn?
2. list is garbage
3. to prove my second point, A&M is number 2.
4. Say what you want about Ole Miss but the Grove is universally known as a top tier gameday location and these meth burnt mouth breathers have it middle of the pack in the SEC?

I'd say top 5 in any order would be LSU Bama Ole Miss Georgia and Auburn

Huh? I've lived here 20+ years and never heard of the Empire State

That's because you've never opened a book before. That's because you can't read. That's because you're an Auburn supporter. That's because you're a dummy.

Most people consider NY to be the Empire State.

You're entitled to your personal opinions, however I stated that it is universally known as top tier. That can't be disputed. I provided examples.

Not sure I completely agree with the list, but overall there's not a bad environment in the conference. As a matter of fact, I actually enjoy going to Vandy. Easy in, easy out, not really a bad seat in the stadium. Their football fans are usually pretty cordial. Nashville is also a pretty cool city.

I personally thought UF was the loudest away stadium that I've been to, but I'm pretty sure its like most...It depends on the opponent, game time, and how well your team is playing.

Williams Brice can get rocking, but then again a lot of the factors above can come into play as well. We have an old saying, "If it ain’t swayin’, we ain’t playin.’”

Couple of player comments below...

“I definitely felt that was the loudest stadium I played in this past year,” Mond said. “It’s definitely a hostile environment…” – Kellen Mond

South Carolina, that’s been one of my favorite games my freshman and junior year,” Mann said. “The energy there is crazy. You wouldn’t think so because it’s not that big of a stadium, but I’ve had some of my best kickoffs there because the energy is amazing…” Braden Mann

“That’s probably the rowdiest student section I’ve seen. That’s the rowdiest stadium I’ve been in,” Crockett said. “It was a great atmosphere. It was way louder (than LSU and Florida) on the field. That’s the first game I couldn’t hear anything Drew was saying, and I was right behind him.” - Mizzou RB Damarea Crockett

Interesting note from Drew Lock on atmosphere at Alabama: "Our South Carolina game was actually way louder than that game."

It's not very often that South Carolina gets mentioned in a Washington State press conference…Leach's Cougars are sitting pretty at 5-0 with a Saturday night trip to 4-1 Oregon's Autzen Stadium on deck. While it's widely considered the loudest stadium in the Pac-12, Leach doesn't seem impressed as he listed eight spots off the top of his head that are definitely louder.

Among those, South Carolina's Williams-Brice Stadium.
"Definitely that one end zone at South Carolina is louder," – Mike Leach who spent 1996 and 97 as Kentucky's offensive coordinator,

“It’s extremely difficult to come here to Columbia and get a win,” McElroy said. “They do a great job with the fan base and the student section is electric. I remember vividly (in 2010) the stadium shaking, both in pregame warmups and when they got the lead. It says a lot about their fans, their environment, their game day atmosphere and the amount of pride they have playing in front of their own people.” – Greg McElroy

UGA WR Michael Bennett said. “We kind of let the atmosphere get the most of us. I think that definitely happened in 2012.”

“I just don’t want to feel that feeling again,” UGA senior inside linebacker Amarlo Herrera said. “They get loud and they stay loud. It’s crazy. It’s hard to stay focused.”

Just because Georgia decided to start calling itself that doesn't really mean anyone else does.

I'm not saying who says it or who doesn't, I'm simply telling you the facts. Some quick googling suggests the nickname has been around for hundreds of years, right after civil war time. You can take umbrage with it all you want but that doesn't change the fact that that is a nickname of the state.

the unwashed masses ITT are trying to pretend something that exists doesn't exist.

yeah like I said we learned that in 8th grade in our mandatory GA history class. I don't know a single person who uses it or references it, but it's still a thing.
