Oldest yes, but not the worst. It's kind of like calling Fenway Park the worst park in the Majors.

You ever been to Cliff Hagen?

Sweet field (turf)...great Party Deck out in right field for great heckling, cooking out, and drinking.

Anyway, they will be building a new stadium soon.

Still, Cliff Hagen is pretty nice old park with new seating and nice brick lines.

i think the guy was being sarcastic...at least i hope so...i think what he was trying to say was, since we won't play in the old box anymore it would be the worst...idk i just think that's what he was getting to

I have been to Cliff Hagan. I'm not saying its awful, but it is easily the worst in the SEC. Sarge-Frye was close, but Carolina built a new stadium. Tennessee and Ole Miss were superior even before they were renovated/expanded. I'd say the 2nd worse is Foley and 3rd worst is McKethan.

I want to say the worst is Florida, the Chain link fence with a windcover, but the actual field is in great condition. I have never been to Vandy's though, so cant really give a solid answer.

Vanderbilt's stadium used to be a dump, but they renovated the grandstand several years back and added a nice clubhouse a few years ago. The stadium is in a small area, so fans are on top of the field. Because expanding the grandstand isn't possible, this year they built seating across the entire outfield. It should be a nice setting.

New Outfield Seating

Has to be Tennessee. Granted, I have not been to a game there since 2004, but it wasn't too appealing then. I love Sewell-Thomas at Alabama, but it really needs to be updated more than the small facelift to the scoreboard a few years ago. I think my favorite in the SEC is Miss. State's, but I've heard Ole Miss has a nice one too.

Ole Miss had a nice stadium, and then renovated. We now have a ballin' stadium, at least when it is finally finished. Center/Right field is where it's at.

Well, when they say the pitcher is warming up in the bullpen we take it literally.

Old Plainsman Park was horrible, it was seriously like a high school field with aluminum bleachers. The baseball field at UGA is (or at least was) pretty sad, I haven't been over there for a game in a while.

I've been watching the Vandy Baseball Stadium expansion and it is looking great. Can't wait to see how the new seats will add to the home games. It's a great stadium with its own green monster in left.

I've been to three:

LSU: Old Alex Box had great atmosphere
Ole Miss: I was there before renovations but it was a dump and the fans are retarded. That being said, watching the game from the hill with some beer was awesome.
Miss State: It was a OK facility but the fans in the outfield were the best. They tried to heckle us but were cool afterwards.
