Amazing how stupid certain posters are on here…it is also equally amazing that the state of Mississippi can put 125,000 people in a football stadium on a Saturday… you other states have no clue what it’s like, especially Georgia and Louisiana…ANY year you guys don’t compete for a championship should be considered a disaster. Level playing field my arse.

I wonder what’s stopping Ole Miss, State, and Arkansas from increasing stadium capacity. All are underrated stadium experiences IMO
Two things for Arkansas:
1. We probably have the lowest visiting fan percentage per game besides Mizzou. Anytime we play a team remotely close to Fayetteville we sell out.
2. The setting of the stadium in a steep ravine is cool, and makes for cool gameday views, but it is a pain in the arse. I only started realizing this as I get older. You are walking uphill both ways just to get in and out of the stadium. We have a really inconvenient gameday experience.

I saw a lot of empty seats during that App state game replay...

Been to all of them multiple times ... including Kyle and Faurot (twice each).
Kyle is impressive in appearance. It is unique. I was also part of a group given a tour of the luxury boxes, locker rooms, etc. It is the most elaborate stadium in the conference.
Reynolds is super nice.
I like the charm of Davis Wade.
Vaught-Hemmingway was the first SEC stadium I visited as a young man in the 60s. It was just "Hemmingway" back then, Coach Vaught was still coaching. I've been to at least one game there, every decade, since the 60s. That stadium has really evolved over the years.
I like Jordan Hare, the fans, the fanfare, the environment, etc.
All of the SEC stadiums are unique.
Looking forward to attending my first game in Norman, at Memorial, soon.
I've already been to War Memorial several times with family over the decades.

I was there for each of those games as well and it has changed a good bit since, in terms of appearance and in-game feel. Winning definitely plays a role in the atmosphere but the stadium has also grown and transformed, too. Reed Plaza was completed on the north side in 2010, the new locker room, recruting suite, and west endzone plaza was added in 2018, and now the entire south side concourse and southwest entrance has been redone (with a second phase to add an additional premium seating/press tower to be completed before the 2024 season)

I’m pretty sure we get a lot of credit for being loud.

Lol glad Wendy’s let you off today.
I was in Knoxville for work a month ago. They were doing work on Kneyland so I was able to walk right in. Place is big but probably the biggest dump of a stadium in the SEC. Place needs a $500M makeover

After this season, I'll only have 4 left on that list, but then will need to add 2 more next season.

I've been to six of those stadiums over the years to watch LSU play.
Here's how I'd rank them from my experiences as far as game day atmosphere and the stadium itself.
1.Tiger Stadium, LSU
2.Bryant-Denny Stadium, Alabama
3.Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, Ole Miss
4.Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn
5.Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Florida
6. Neyland Stadium, Tennessee
