We have a great atmosphere, but it has not been a tough place to play due to our shitty team.

Peak Tiger Stadium is far and away number one. The problem is it is so inconsistent these days the last few years definitely haven't deserved the number one spot

100%

Regardless of their team’s record that year, Auburn fans always show up for home games against big name opponents.

That place gets stupid loud.

Sooners are 148-18 (.892) at home since 2000.... this list means nothing

14 Big 12 championships and only 18 home losses ( SEC is and will be tougher)

Florida, LSU, and Auburn get to another level that none of the other places get to. Those 3 at their peak are the best.

Moo state should be 9 at the lowest. Cowbells give them an edge.

This. I have been everywhere but Texas, and these are my top 3.

there's a lot of bias on this list giving credence to the quality of the opponent. Looking at stadium environment (noise, layout), fans (fervor, attendance), and just bad juju from the history of a place, I'd re-rank as follows:

1. Death Valley
2. Jordan-Hare
3. Neyland
4. Williams-Brice
5. the Swamp (? never been, my hearsay)
6. Kyle Field
7. Sanford
8. War Memorial Stadium (ain't no one going to Razorback Stadium)
9. Davis-Wade
10. Faurot
11. OU
12. Bryant-Denny
13. Commonwealth
14. VH
15, Vandy
16. DKR (no one's skeered of a half-empty generic stadium at noon next to the highway, even if they are throwing water bottles on top of being defended by a lazy cow and shooting blanks from a cannon by cosplaying frat boys)

4. Auburn
5. Georgia
6. Alabama
7. Oklahoma
8. Ole Miss
9. Kentucky

Hoping to make Florida or Arky this year.

I think LSU is above the other two.

Florida/Auburn/Tenn/A&M/SC are all in a similar tier.

These are your top three. LSU fans are just ridiculous. The Swamp is the last place I want to be when it’s a close game, and it seems clear from TV that Auburn gets into it more than Bama and maybe more than Georgia or A&M. A&M is tough, but I don’t like the choreographed vibe. Tennessee probably too high but they used to always be #1 in these things in the 90s. I felt like USCe is nice but mildly overrated. Doesn’t have the killer instinct like Tiger Stadium.

The University of South Carolina will take that as a compliment to our fans. LSU can gladly hold the distinction of having the most unruly and rude fanbase.

(For residents of the North looking to move South, this in no way is indicative of typical South Carolinians. No, we are terribly rude, uncouth, ill-mannered, thuggish, low-level trash that will steal your property and maim your family. Our roads are impassable, the water is polluted, and the homes rundown. It’s best to stay where you are! Far, far away from the South.)
