Stadium Rankings (i.e. quintessential offseason thread)

I recently visited Gainesville and was quite impressed with the opposition's stadium. I'm wondering what the collective opinion is regarding the ranking of SEC stadiums.
This is solely predicated upon aesthetic appeal and the basic "look" of each stadium, not accounting for gameday atmosphere, team success, tailgate quality, etc.
I tried not to rank them merely in terms of capacity, but that may have ended up happening regardless...
Having visited the vast majority of stadiums, my personal opinion would list them as follows:
1. Alabama
2. A&M
3. LSU
4. Tennessee
5. Georgia
6. Florida
7. Auburn
8. Arkansas (considering the new renovations that encloses the "bowl")
9. South Carolina
10. Mississippi State (accounting for the proposed renovations)
11. Kentucky
12. Ole Miss (discounting the sheer awesomeness that is "The Grove")
13. Missouri
14. Vanderbilt
As a side note, I've always wondered why Vanderbilt, especially with their endowment, doesn't renovate the stadium to mirror TCU or Houston's look.
Ok, now feel free to shite on me for an irrelevant and probably redundant off-season post. As a relatively new member of the rant, I'm sure this has been asked in seasons past.

The “proposed renovations” aren’t a thing according to people at Mississippi State

A&M over Death Valley? Picture that.

Arkansas should be higher. We have some of the nicest facilities in the SEC and Razorback Stadium is usually discounted.

Damn, that's too bad. They looked really nice. At least (again, in my humble opinion), Davis Wade is still better than Oxford High's stadium.

Also think Auburn is the most underrated stadiums and football atmosphere. Really cool place

As opposed to not considering the already built expansion?

This list, I think, is limited to SEC schools. Clemson does have a great stadium, though. Beautiful area, too.

BobLeeDagger,
I wasn't sure if everyone was aware that it had been renovated recently. Definitely gives it a great look.

Prepare for that red arrow to get raped.
Auburn is the shittiest place to go in the SEC. HORRIBLE tailgating experience. Fans are absolute trash.

That’s a cool opinion. Still think it is a nice stadium and cool place to watch a game.
Posted on 5/1/19 at 11:51 am to Hailstate15
I can agree with this. I always make the trip to Auburn. Still hate those bastards though.

Right... I've been 3 times and those are my 3 worst away game experiences. When Scam Newton beat us in 2010, they were throwing food at us walking back to the truck.
Garbage fans.

Haven’t lsu fans pissed on opposing fans? Glass houses man. Every fanbase has “those fans”

Arkansas has to be rated last because they play games in Little Rock in a stadium that should be condemned.

You're an LSU fan and we don't care about Arkansas.
