Both of these should be flipped.

swamp has lost its luster to me and i wasn't that impressed with jordan-hare frankly
ETA: and leaving UT off wasn't really a jab, if anything i have them 5b with AU. when they are good again it will be top 3

Couldn't think of a 5th stadium that we play in that is all that tough

If you raise your voice in Bryant-Denny, all of the Tide Pride members give you evil looks.

Same for the North side of Sanford Stadium. To raise your voice in anger or joy is to go against the wishes of the country club patrons. Anything above a golf clap is cause for exile. Do not cross the country club. They will throw caviar and champagne flutes at you!

No, I would agree. It is a shite stadium, but our record is damn good there and it is loud as hell.

I do not have any numbers to look at, but I would bet our SEC win pct there is above .700

For any Auburn fan, I think you'd have to say Tiger Stadium. It's absolutely ridiculous how unsuccessful we have been in Baton Rouge this past decade. I cringe every time I think about the 05 or 07 games.


Other than that, Auburn has won pretty consistently at every other stadium in the SEC. I don't worry too much about road games outside of LSU.

1. Death Valley
2. The Swamp
3. Jordan-Hare
4. Bryant Denny
5. Between the Hedges

Death Valley and the Swamp aren't separated by much, I just went with LSU because their fans are crazier. I'm a homer, but I just don't think BDS is as loud as it should be, but still a really intimidating place to play

It is a very hot topic amongst many fans. My first game as a kid was at the Rock when we played aTm. I have old time love for that place, but I understand both sides of the argument.

I enjoy going there for tailgating and also for getting the opportunity to catch up with old friends who only make the games there. It is a good time had by all.

Having said all of that, I would not be upset in the least if they kept games there, or if they moved them all to the Hill.

Arkansas is 36-11-1 at the Rock since 1992. It is a tough place to play and has been an especially tough place to play since the 1997 season.

The players are the ones who seem to love it. It is the fans who have the biggest problems with it.

I mean, that place is crazy. I do not know if you have ever been to many parts of south arkansas, but there are a lot of drunk idiots running wild down there who make that place rock on a Saturday night in the fall.

Which one? Surely not the one that LSU is 2-5 at their last 7 trips to.
