Coming from the folks that shut their main scoreboards off before last year's game ended.
Now, a video summary of your troll attempt...

Some of the ones that I think need replaced completely is Tennessee's and LSU's. They both are outdated museum pieces. South Carolina's needs additional levels and Mizzou needs the track around the field removed.
I like the fact that Tennessee's is near the river, thats a pretty cool environment. Also like LSU's ambiance of night games just think there needs to be some updating.
Men of the rant, I give you today’s football fan.
Not like it used to be.
With that being said, LSU added seats to get to 100+ and I think they would take it back if they could go back in time.
The 100+ was a selling point back in the 90s and early 2ks.
But now you have millennials that want WiFi and locations near rivers (wtf).

The space allotted for bench seating hasn't changed an inch in the last 50 years in most places. Ridiculous with success of the conference and obvious better options for a declining fan base who can watch at home.
If you upgrade the seats and decrease capacity, ticket prices can go up some each year.
Uncomfortable seats without decent amenities will not sell in the future.

Neyland not needing to be replaced. That’s absurd.
I wouldn’t mind a reduction of around 10,000 seats to make some more comfortable but it’s been updated and redone enough to be one of the better stadiums in college.
Made my first trip to Neyland last week. Obviously, with socially distanced seating, I didn't really get the full effect, but I could tell that those seats would be really tight if they were all filled. They have done a nice job with the concourse renovations, so far, but still have a long ways to go.
In order for Neyland to be brought up to modern standards with regard to seat comfort, it would essentially require most of the stadium to be rebuilt, piece by piece, as was done with Kyle Field. As it stands right now, Neyland reminds me a whole lot of the Cotton Bowl--an historic stadium with seats close to the action, but which may not be best suited to 21st century customer requirements.

LSU needs renovations but not the aesthetic kind. They need to revamp the bathrooms and add more space somehow in the walkways around the concession areas. Alcohol sales has only magnified this issue

quote:I'm not sure I agree. For being an old stadium, Jordan Hare really seems to have good bones. It's got good sightlines, and I don't recall the seats in the lower deck being uncomfortable. Now, is the terracing such that you could put armchairs in the lower deck as it exists, or would you need to rebuild the lower deck so that it could be reterraced? That I don't know, but that's the only real potential flaw I see at Auburn.
Auburn needs a new stadium, period. There's just not much you can do with a massive dingy concrete structure. Auburn figured this out about Beard-Eaves, but because of the history, won't do the same about Jordan Hare. You can slap siding and brick on some areas, but a brutalist structure is still a brutalist structure. Even with proposed renovations, there's just too much of that 70's/80's era mildew-stained concrete visible inside and out.

When I look at Tiger Stadium, I think of the old Johnny Cash song about the car assembly line worker who built himself a Cadillac by stealing pieces off the assembly line over a long period of time. It seems to me that they are now starting to try to fix some of the problems, but they'got a long way to go. Still, location is so important that I would never suggest that LSU build a new stadium.
Tiger Stadium is a pantheon of concrete and steal that is rivaled only by the Colosseum in Rome.
I hope it is maintained (but not replaced) for a thousand years.
The vast majority of LSU fans I know don't want a generic McStadium like you have in Tuscaloosa.

If their stadium is rivaled by the Collosseum in Rome then they are due for some renovations.

LSUs stadium needs updating to bathrooms and concessions, but it’s sightlines are second to none
Seats go all the way to field level, and the stadium is steep which means the higher seats are also closer to the field
I have never in my life felt more detached from a game or further from the field than the seats I had at Bama. Beautiful stadium though.
If you want to watch a game and have a loud venue, tiger stadium is best. If you are a woman that needs a clean toilet seat or a fat frick that needs a pretty concession line, it’s low in the rankings
You can see in these pictures just how much more you are on top of the action at LSU than Bama

At the very least.
The game day e experience for UGA has changed little in 50 years beyond the big screen...concessions have actually gotten worse. The restroom capacity has improved a little but still sucks.All this while money is poured into facilities,coaches salaries and recruiting.
BTW the only folks outaide of club level and suites who don't have bench seating is the seating area reserved for recruits and their families.

VHS needs some serious work. It looks like 4 different stadiums that were mashed together. Bjork screwed is on the NEZ - it was supposed to match the SEZ, but so much of the donations ended up going into The Pavilion. The clubhouses and press boxes on the East and West need to be torn down and replaced to match the clubhouses in the SEZ. And then the outside of the stadium needs to be redone so that they match. The NEZ is just trash and cannot be saved.
