I thought the atmosphere was kind of "meh," but that was probably because it was cold/dreary and we got up on Kentucky quickly before they managed to come back. |

Must be your spring game. What other time do a bunch of girls take the field to battle it out!   |

| Commonwealth is good in October when Keeneland is running. Go to the track during the day and the game at night.

It was cool to see nothing but orange in the upper decks in the early fourth qtr.. |

| UGA has classy fans? Are they hidden from the public or something? |

| As much as I hate to admit it, I have been in Commonwealth more than Neyland. I grew up in Lexington and my dad had friends and we were able to go whenever we wanted to. Although, I still can't get out the cut of Were from Kentucky, aka Were from the Country....... and the stupid air raid sirens!

| Sanford Stadium by far. The setting is awesome and the stadium is kind of "hidden" as well. |
