Interested in the opinion of the fans who made the trip, God bless you. How did their stadium compare with Neyland? Were the seats crammed together, more suited for 8 year old girls, like Neyland? Concessions and bathroom facilities, ingress and parking, etc. wish I’d been there to suffer along with fans who went. Thanks to you guys.

Their bathrooms made me long for the troughs. The men's line looked like the women's bathroom at a club but longer.

The flag poll in the North end zone seemed dumb.

Honestly I didn't think it was better than neyland. The upper deck is so dang steep because the lower level is so spread out

Outside looks ran down. Small concourse, literally was like gridlock Atlanta traffic. They were lying about how loud it was because they were showing 120db but you could have a conversation and understand everything perfectly. Was probably more like 95db

All the Tennessee fans said the same thing around me. It wasn't loud. I've been in Neyland for Florida, Oklahoma, and other games where I literally can't hear myself talk. Their meter has to be directly below the speaker or something.

It is not loud and the decibel level was no where near 120 if it is we need to fire who measures ours. I sat in the student section at OSU last night and I could talk to people 3 rows behind me without raising my voice

The stadium is definitely in the upper echelon of college football, but it’s interior to Neyland. It’s just the truth. Putting a 4 story flag in the south endzone is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. They out number us on seating due to the fact they have so many benches. It’s certainly not as big as Neyland imop. It was mid as far as loud, but it’s hard to loud when the opposing fan base shows up in the numbers we did. Shameful! They should be embarrassed.

I really enjoyed the experience except for the game itself, I did not have any problems with Ohio state fans all the ones I talked to thought it was awesome how many fans we had there. Loudness not close at all play a lot of music to help with the noise.

Another thing as a marching band enjoyer - their pregame absolutely blows. I thought there was going to be more than the script Ohio which is neat but then they just go up into the stands and they do a stupid NFL style entrance. I hated it.

I will second this.....guys imagine what your entire experience has been since you started dating girls and then flip it upside down...
I saw women dropping off their Husband's at the bathroom line and say I am going tonuse the bathroom and then I will wait for you over here....

Stadium was very cramped and the second and third level looks like it hasn't been updated or worse if it has..I would ask for a new project manager.

Fans are pleasant and the exit/entrance to the stadium was very easy travel....food and beverage lines were absurd ...


One more thing and maybe someone can answer this...they have alot of red lights flashing during the game throughout the stadium.. is this something that is normal while the gane action is taking place?

The stairs to the third level made me loathe the entire state.

Middle of the road SEC venue
Low budget fireworks
Bathrooms built for 30 min lines…endorsement for urinal troughs.
Medium size screens (jumbo) for 102K stadium is cheap
Crowd noise struggled to reach 120 decibels for a half second
Halftime show was a high school production..couldn’t hear and we were in the lower bowl.
Fans are obnoxious but we didn’t give them reason to not be
Pregame outside venues were O’Charleys on The Strip vibe

Better food and beverage selections at a better price than Neyland

Atmosphere wasn’t what I expected for a school like OSU. Pretty mediocre

Not sure I'd say fans were pleasant. Some were. There were a lot of d1ckheads.

No ramp. Bathrooms had 6 urinals total. Wasn’t loud in the least. The entire stadium is just one basic azz concrete gymnasium with a field in the center. Nothing walkable. No character. May as well have put their stadium in an industrial park.

I was wondering about the lights and music blasting as well. Well into the 25 second clock

Amen. Holy crap felt like leg day after reaching the summit. 😂

I’ll echo what most said. One thing I will say was better, is I had more leg room due to just how verticals that third level was. Idk if it was the same in the lower level but at neyland I feel like my legs are in someone’s back all the time or my shins are being attacked by their chair.

Will also say who put on their half time show with the fan race. Just low rent and classless. Not going to say much bc Vol fans gave as good as they got for the most part.
