I was at the game last year too, Commonwealth isn't a bad stadium at all. 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.

I noticed the name of the print is "Cat Fight".... Must be your spring game. What other time do a bunch of girls take the field to battle it out!

Now that Alabama plays in Tuscaloosa all the time, that's probably true. Legion Field is/was a dump.

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

I was at that same game and you could hear a mouse fart when the Vols tied with the two-point conversion before halftime. 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?

How does Mississippi State rank above #11? It's a glorified high school stadium.

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!

That post definitely had more impact typed in purple than it ever would have had in standard black.

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

Been to UGA, Arkansas Little Rock and Fayettville, Ole Miss, Miss. State, Alabama B'ham and T'loosa, and UGA. Out of these I would say UGA.
