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?

Minus the fans, I enjoyed going to the swamp...Other than LSU its the loudest in the SEC..IMO

I was there when T. Stephens went off in 2001....Crazy loud...until the final horn sounded.

Both Auburn and UGA have good stadiums to watch a game in. South Carolina has a good stadium as well; although the setting and the atmosphere outside the stadium is pretty much nonexistent.

I was there too.. in the Florida student section.

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.

How bad were your ears ringing when you walked out of the stadium in 01?.....I was in the UT student section.....right behind our bench on the 45.

It's not the greatest place to tailgate for sure. I was there in 2004 when their 8 point lead disappeared just before halftime. It was pretty funny to watch all the taunting instantly vanish.

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.

That's why SC is such an underrated place to watch a game. The fans are so used to disappointment that they are cordial to a fault.

Been to: UT, Vandy, UK, Auburn, LSU, and UF
Non-UT favorites: UF, Auburn, and LSU

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.

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.

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..

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!
