| Stadiums Just wondering what college stadiums / bowl games / conference championship games people on here have been to. I have been to Neyland (of course), Vanderbilt Stadium, Jordan Hare Stadium, Vaught Hemmingway Stadium (I think that is the name of Ole Miss' Stadium), Commonwealth Stadium, Georgia Dome for SEC Championship game and 2 Peach Bowls, and Fiesta Bowl for NC Championship game.
Oops, forgot Williams-Bryce Stadium

| I read the same discussion on tidefans and a South Carolina fan said they call Neyland "the world's largest double-wide." Everyone was saying what a dump Neyland is and how narrow the seats are. I happen to think it is what heaven will look like, but it will be nice when they renovate. Vandy is a joke but nice campus, I went to the Bowden Academy when I was in H.S. at Auburn and everything was super nice. I also went to the Hal Mumme camp at U.K. and thought the facilities were great and the stadium was ok. Very dissappionted in the "big house" you enter from the top and half to walk all the way down to the field. They actually leave the stadium unlocked at night so anyone can just walk out on the field. Can you imagine if they did that with Neyland? |

all that said, that's not what makes it what it is in the end. it's great because of what goes on while you're in there..........
