| SEC Stadiums
Other than Neyland, what is your favorite SEC Stadium to attend a football game at?
Out of the ones that I have been to, I would have to say Jordan Hare @ Auburn. It was a cool stadium on a beautiful campus and everyone was pretty nice. Good atmosphere before and during game. I enjoyed myself even though we lost.
And has anyone been to every single stadium in the SEC?

I thought I was going to die.
imagine being 17 and in high school in that setting.
I was also there in 2003 with the James Banks catch to end the half. I'm 2-0 in the Swamp, 0-2 at Neyland.

| You guys don't ever get to witness it firsthand, since we play so late in the year, but Commonwealth Stadium on a night game in October, the smell of barbecue and bourbon - it's special.

The fans are so used to disappointment that they are cordial to a fault. | |

If it's a big game, and I'm able to go, it's hard to go wrong with any of the top SEC stadiums. | |

I was at that game last year. The Stadium is pretty small in comparison and wasn't really loud until the 4th quarter for obvious reasons. The tailgating wasn't bad. It's convenient that there is that big lawn in the front of Commonwealth. It was FREEZING so I probably didn't get the full effect. | |
