Don't get me wrong, it's a nice stadium, but it's "greatness" rests solely on it's size. I always see it in Top 5 rankings and I just don't think it has the character of other stadiums to be up there.

Auburn cheerleaders have been using the mike to hype up the crowd at least since the 84 Liberty Bowl.

Alabama: Very nice venue. Better than some pro stadiums. And of course, every fan of Bama knows everything about football. Not overated.
Auburn: It's a larger stadium, but it felt very tyco erector set like. The Eagle before the game flying around the stadium is very cool. Not overated.
Arkansas: Like their other sports facilities, very good. Not the largest. Doesn't have to be. Pretty dang loud place for the opposition. Not overated.
Florida: Never been
Georgia: I like Sanford Stadium. Fans are cordial. Not overated.
Kentucky: Never been
LSU: It's an old, delapiated stadium. It smells, it's uncomfortable and the fans are loud and obnoxious. NOT OVERATED. It's what a college stadium should be.
Miss. St. As a Reb, I'm in the minority here, but I think what MSU has done with their stadium vs. where it was is night and day. I think overall, it's a nice facility and if State is winning, they have the unfair advantage of "ringing responsibly". Not overated.
South Carolina. Never been
Tennessee. I hate this stadium. It's like LSU's with Tiny seats and big hair. OVERATED.
TAMU: I haven't been since the latest additions. The time I went, it was loud, but kinda meh. Prior to the renovation for me is overated. Now: No opinion.
Vandy. That stadium sucks. Period. Can't be overated, cause it ain't rated.
Mizzou: Been once. It was loud the time I was there. I'm on the fringe on this one...it's neither rated or overated.
Ole Miss: Yes, I am an Ole Miss fan. I think our stadium is bad. I wouldn't tear sections down and renovate, I'd demolish and build a new one.

Florida beat a top 5 Burrow led LSU team in 2018 and the Swamp definitely had something to do with it. They beat a top 10 Auburn team the following year and Gus Malzahn admitted they were not ready for that type of noise. They destroyed a top 10 Ole Miss team a few years back when the stadium was rocking.
Gators won 30 straight home games in the 90s.
Went 17-1 under Urban.
When UF is firing on all cylinders, the Swamp is one of the most feared college stadiums. The problem is, they haven’t been able to get out of their own way the last decade or so.

Agreed on the Swamp. I lived in Gainesville for a little over a decade and while I went to tailgate every gameday weekend with my coworkers, I rarely went into the stadium itself for the game. It needs some work.

Not SEC, but I’ve always heard FSU was bad. The exterior is nice brick, but the inside is a major disappointment.

Not sure when you were there last, but the area around W-B has changed significantly over the past 10 years.

I’ve done the Gator Chomp in Death Valley in 2019.
Do You want to see the video?

Neyland for me. The stadium is trash.

This isn't me picking on Texas at all; howver, DKR is the most overrated stadium that I've ever attended a game at.
The stadium is nice in most respects, but for a large university with a rich tradition, the crowd is among the quietest I've ever heard.
DKR is absolutely no match for SEC stadiums when it comes to crowd noise. Even L.A. Coliseum, when the Trojans are down, is more noisy than DKR.

Ole Miss’a stadium is underrated in my view. While it isn’t large, the atmosphere for big games there is excellent.

I attended the Texas vs USC game 2017 at LA Memorial Stadium. USC was a bunch of pansies compared to the Texas rabble.

If true probably attended a pansy game which are never eventful. A non fan is not going to drop $100 to $300 for a UF v FSU, or LSU type match up.

Yep, the inside looks like a shitty erector set with the exposed metal under the bleachers
I was shocked at how cheap it looked

JHS is the most pleasant place to watch a night game. Nothing to do about noise, just the open sky at sunset and the atmosphere at night. Not intimidating as to how people rate stadium, AUburn can get very loud at night. The open sky and lack of humidity ( see LSU) makes it very pleasant to attend. The worse thing they did was add that scoreboard.

UGA for me. Granted I went to a noon kick off game when they were favored heavily against my Vols. Was actually a very competitive game and UGA ended up winning by just a field goal. But I was severely underwhelmed by the lack of energy in between the hedges that day. The acoustics or something are out of whack at that stadium. Plus I thought the general design is kinda meh. The upper decks there are so gaudy, ridiculously far away from the field, and disproportionately small looking compared to the rest of the stadium.
