LOL - Not even close, plus we are spending almost a billion $ on an upcoming renovation. Neyland reminds me of the old Tim McCarver stadium in Memphis.

Ole Miss could have built a new modern stadium instead of the bizzarre additions. Build some bleachers her, some there.

Vandy by a mile, but Neyland is a close second due to their tiny bleachers. I think Tennessee needs to remodel to reduce capacity while replacing these benches with chairbacks.

Funny you mention that I remember Aubies bringing their own cowbells to Starkville in 2014

Aside from Vanderbilt, I’d say Mizzou. I could nap at Faurot Field.

Technically it's Vandy, but hate Neyland Stadium.

Neyland through the years and current projects

They dropped 500 seats. Added seatback options, improved the game day experience.

It’s a nice mix of traditional feel and modern conveniences.

Amazing seeing fans in vintage photos dressed in coats & ties at games. My Dad said when he was growing up, my grandparents made him wear a coat & tie, even at 90 degree games in September

This is how I know you’re a dumbass and haven’t been probably ever. It has far better sight lines than any stadium in the conference it’s size. Try sitting in the cheap seats in Athens and tell me the sight lines are bad at Neyland.

And half of the stadium has been renovated. The other half still badly needs it though and its on the books for the next few years for the current renovation plan. It should’ve already been done but the UTAD being in complete disarray the last decade made them delay it.

I like going to Knoxville since we do not play up there much. But their stadium has some of the smallest seats I've ever seen. You can even still see where the old numbers were located and then they made the seats smaller.

But not as cramp as War Memorial stadium in Little Rock. You knees are in the back of the people in front of you. But you at least have some space to sit your arse.

A&M was definitely on this list before they spent a small country GDP on the reno, but I doubt it is anymore. CS is still arguably the blandest college town in the conference, but I suspect the stadium experience is magnitudes better now.

I want to say Vandy but every seat is great the Bama crowd i s usually 3 to 1.
Tiger stadium is the best and worst. outside the stadium is horrible with the tigerbaiting and obnoxiousness. Not a good environment for women and children. Inside, i love the atmosphere as you are away from the drunken tailgaters. it is loud and raucous, as it should be. Even better is that Bama owns that place and no matter how loud it gets Bama wins, usually comfortably, and it is a morgue in the 4th qtr and the people that were jumping in your family's face screaming obscenities are nowhere to be found.
