SC- horrible setting in an industrial area with a fairground
Missouri - looks like a jr high school stadium
Tennessee- rusty old hulk

I’ve seen all those things. Many times. It was not good. UT should tear the place down and start again.

Never heard anyone call Arkansas stadium a $hit hole.
It’s one of the nicer looking stadiums in the SEC.
Boxes/Glass all around the stadium with two big screens on each side.
Slick looking stadium that can get really loud because it’s down in a bowl.
Greg McElroy said it was the loudest place he ever played when Bama played at Arkansas in 2010

When we play Auburn I bring extra old dip spit bottles into the stadium and take a swig just to spit it on them. It’s fun

South Carolina has done a good job of remaking the area around Williams Brice. From a thread I saw the other day at least. That place used to look like Friday the 13th walking back from stadium. Like Jason was gonna run out with a chainsaw

I visited Starkville last year and was surprised by how nice the stadium was.

In some way, Tenn and Vandy are diametrical opposites - UT has a pretty fair game day experience OUTSIDE the stadium. Vol Navy, etc etc etc. But inside is miserable. Every time they wanted to push capacity a few years ago, they just repainted the bench seats and kept making them narrower. The last time I want (and I never plan to go back) some of the seats were only an inch or two wider than the program was tall. Miserable experience. I mean jeez, I admit I'd a pretty average guy, but 13-14" seat widths is ridiculous.
Vandy, in contrast, doesn't have a bad seat inside the stadium. It's small enough that there isn't a bad seat anywhere where you can't enjoy the game. Vandy's problem begins, though, on the concourses which are incredibly narrow. Even at 40K total capacity, the concourses are far too small and vending is limited.
I have really scaled back my road trips, but I used to get Vandy season tickets back when Bama was frequently on the schedule. I could get the family pack with two adult and two youth tickets (4 total x 8 games) for under $300. I can't even go to a SINGLE Bama game for that kind of money! I would go to the Bama@Vandy game, sell the other SEC game tickets online, and donate the rest to the Boys and Girls Club of Nashville and take an IRS deduction. Used to make out like a bandit.

Are those seats in Neyland regular price? I always laugh when I see shite like this…

Razorback Stadium is pimp, moron. AF. Never once do I think "I wish our stadium was better". Never.
And we have the best statue.

Everyone shits on Starkville. Ive never been but I suspect it's actually fun down there on Gameday.
Lexington is great if you're fortunate enough to play here when Keeneland is in session. Day there pregaming and nightcap with SEC football, it simply can't be beat anywhere in the conference.
We're plenty rowdy by any other conferences gameday standards and would be top 2 or 3 in every other conference as far as that goes. The SEC just is what it is so we get shat on as if Lexington somehow isn't a total blast on gameday. It is. If you like bourbon and hospitality then come on.
But it's just like recruiting:
"UK got the #20 class in the nation. Suck it!"
"Cool story brah. That's good for 12th in conference."

I went to UK for a game before A&M joined the conference and was very impressed back then. I can see they've made the stadium better with renovations. But Lexington, Bourbon country, it's got a lot to do around there. The tailgating was good, the atmosphere was good (watched them play UF). Put them in another conference and they are much more of a destination.

A KU fan talking shite about stadiums, seriously? Faurot might be lower tier by SEC standards, but Kansas has the worst stadium of any p5 conference school. That place is literally falling apart and draws about 15k fans per game.
We do not have that bad of a stadium.

TAMU- A batshit filled dump is still a batshit filled dump. The newest renovations have put a fresh coat of paint on a bad stadium, but its not truly at that tip top they try to advertise it as being. Its pretty ordinary, but with more Euro-crowd cheer Aggiedom, and no one wants that.
Since the north end zone (built from the ground up in 1999) is the only piece that remains since they demolished the entire stadium in 2014/15, is the rest of your post total bullshite as well?

Mizzou a stadium is worse than War Memorial and that’s pathetic
I’d blow the place up and start over if I was Mizzou

I've never been to aTm or Mizzou, but I've been to the rest. Vandy's stadium is not very impressive, but it's a good place to watch a game and that's what I go for.
I liked UK's stadium and also Ole Miss' and Scott Field. They weren't huge, but I'd rather be able to watch the game than sit so far from the field you can't see the ball.
MSU has done a lot of nice things to their stadium lately.
