Haha sure buddy. Ask the uga and sc fans how rocking neyland was last year. It's a great place to watch a football game with 100K+ people. It's in a beautiful part of the country, one of the only two stadiums by a big river, And it's full of tradition and rich history (ron burgundy voice). Neyland absolutely deserves a place on that list.

Oh and lol at that list. Neyland being anywhere near the top 10 threw away all credibility.
i've seen very few, if any, lists like this that don't include neyland. yes, the stadium has its deficiencies, but it's still a great venue for college football. additionally, too many people are completely unaware of the massive renovation that has been done the past few years at neyland and is still in progress.

I would hope 100k people could make a stadium loud.
It's a vertigo inducing shite hole, it crams 3 people into a seating area meant for 1, and it is built awkwardly around the campus and right on the river.

Oh you'll find out how shitty WMS is this year if you come to the game
Posted on 7/7/14 at 2:31 pm to DirtyDawg
It's not just the fact that there's 100k. It's that we're stacked vertical, we have not had a winning season in a while, and yet we were still loud enough for espn To tweet that Knoxville was the loudest place in the world during that game. The atmosphere I'm Neyland is incredible, and if you were at that game last year you witnessed that, crammed or not.
Its not built awkwardly into campus. It's right at the heart, next to the most iconic area (the hill) and building at UT (ayres). We actually got our checkerboard end zones because one of our coaches looked up and say the checkerboards at the top of the bell tower and decided to put them on the field. And our river tailgating is consistently ranked as one of the most unique college gameday experiences in the country. But yeah, good points

Sorry, I had a shitty experience in 2011
I was sitting two rows from the very top of the stadium and nearly lost my life every time I hit up the bathroom

agree with this, disregarding the hyperbole

completely disagree with that. it's not awkward at all, and it being right on the river is pretty awesome. the vol navy is something any fan base, regardless of personal biases, should think is a pretty damn cool tradition. not seeing why you think it's "awkward."

I gotcha no worries. I had a bad experience in Sanford in 10. My team got molested.

the upper deck endzone seats at neyland are pretty terrible. won't argue with that. i've never had the "pleasure" of sitting in the upper deck of tiger stadium, but i've heard similar complaints of being terrified up there, especially the old west side upper deck

Shhh
Never bring up 2010 again

just for reference of the renovations i alluded to earlier at neyland.
it's come a long way, and they are continuing the renovation on the side facing the river, removing the giant ramp in the process
pre- renovation. outside the small seats in the upper deck, it's shaping up to be a beautiful stadium inside and outside. they actually decreased their capacity inside the stadium with these renovations by one or two thousand.

thats a pretty good list.
My thoughts...
I need to see what Autzen/Oregon is all about. Jordan HAre is a pretty good set up. Not sure if top ten, but pretty good. Neyland stadium gets too much hate on this board. I like going to games there. I have always thought kyle field sucked, but the renovations will make it top 3.

Lulz @ "experts"
These " experts" never leave the press box during games. If they listed the best press box food and drinks and press parking, the list would look similar. If you want a real list, have a list based on the visiting fans ratings of the Stadiums.

Considering Neyland is in the top 10 in virtually every list I've ever seen, I'd say that throws away all of your credibility
