Auburn, you may be a bitter rival to us, but Jordan-Hare is also very nice...been there several times.

Went to Sanford a couple years ago to see a game. Sat in section 321 and the view was pretty good. Also, was surprised how easy it was to get up to that section and how it wasn’t steep.

Cobra...been to your stadium at Clemson a couple of times...I think your stadium upper deck is the steepest of any stadium I've ever been in. It's waaay up there; but, you can almost look down directly over the field it seems...beautiful viewing of the surrounding landscape from up there!

Yeah it is steep as hell. I got season tickets this year and I hope I’m not stuck in the last 10-15 rows of the upper deck.

Besides Ole Miss, Vandy, and UK (Commonwealth is still a decent stadium, IMO), every one of these facilities are an absolute work of art. Cathedral-like. Even Mississippi State looks fantastic with the recent renovations.

It’s easy to see how the atmospheres are a bit diluted these days. Too many seats, too high on the prices. Things got too big, too fast. I almost prefer Tiger Stadium pre-South Endzone expansion.

I was going to say it’s the other way around. I’d much rather be a little higher, but on top of the game.

I want to attend a stadium like this.

Graduated from UGA in 1978. I remember the "Tracks". I had student tickets to the game many times, but would rather sit up there with the substandard/dangerous scaffolding, kegs of iced beer, a consistent aroma of weed emanating from the cemetery on the other side and the realization that the hardest Rockwell tested substance geologically is a railroad rock.

BTW, the fraternities on River Road at that time were Delta Chi, Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Sigma and Alpha Epsilon Phi.

Kudos to the pledges at this time who worked tirelessly providing concessions.

Do I really need to post the same picture 6 times for 6 different decades?

I can see that, now that you’ve said it.
That’s really cool.
Makes me look at your current stadium differently.

They couldn't get funding for a new stadium so they decided to get funding for new dorms and built both with the money.

It's still an average stadium. So, you put lipstick on a pig, and now people are supposed to be impressed? It's still the 4th or 5th best stadium in the sec west alone. You'd better worry about the product on the field bc you already struggled to fill the stadium as small as it was before this expansion. Lol, arkansas is funny.

Just LOL at ole miss' high school stadium. Holy shite what a joke. They can't fill their little stadium as well. Miss state actually has a better stadium than ole miss. That's a fact.
