Agree with how GA put Williams Brice. It's really nice on the inside, really pitiful on the outside.
Commonwealth was a cool stadium IMO. |

| I went to the Bama game last year & sat in the student section. It was loud but I try not to think about the game too much. Bad memories. I don't have anything to compare it with but overall it was a nice stadium.
I also have been to Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn twice. I was working concessions so I didn't really get to look around much. |

| Commonwealth and Williams Brice are too far back from the field.
Sanford Stadium is nice. Stupid design for their home students having to walk out infront of the visitors section. Fun times though if TN wins there.
The Swamp is ok, as long as you aren't up in the third tier endzone section.
Went to MS St last year, it's one of, if not the oldest stadium in the SEC, and it isn't anything special.
Alabama has a nice stadium too.
Tiger Stadium is nice, but visitors upper deck sideline is still too far back from the field.
I would say Sanford and Bryant Denny are pretty close to the best of the ones I have been to. Florida and LSU are next. Arkansas is next. Commonwealth and MS St next, followed by Williams Brice.
(Still need to see Auburn, Ole Miss, Vandy)

| I'm pretty sure it's the 2nd oldest stadium in D-1a right behind Ga. Tech's
I went to the game this past year too and didn't think too much of it. Not much pregame fun, old looking stadium, and I was seating in the upper deck and I swear to you I could see atleast 10 water towers in plan view |

Still a nice place though for a mediocre football program. |

| I went to UGA this past year and wasn't very impressed. Auburn is a great place to go to a game though. I thought USC was awful |

| . . .I lived in Athens, Ga. in 1976-77 and saw some great games there! The Dawgs were SEC champs and the stadium rocked!! Can't hold a stick to Neyland though!!!
