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?

for all of Neyland's history, atmosphere and mystique......it is a very cramped stadium. i have no argument with that. the exit tunnels and seats are too narrow etc, all true.

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..........

Vader, it seems you haven't been to a meaningful road game that resulted in a victory since, what, January 1996?

maybe you should stay home?????:)

i had a blast. the town and students are very liberal, but it's a cool little place and lots of excitement for the team. it was somewhere between friday night at a big HS game and Neyland. not completely insane like neyland, but you could feel the excitement and it was pretty loud for that few people.

I have been to Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin -- too open, nothing special.

Death Valley, Clemson -- good enthusiastic atmosphere for college football.

As a youngster, I went to an Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl in the Astrodome in Houston. I only remember one team, Colorado, and that is because I was impressed by the full-bore gallop of their live buffalo mascot. The cowboy handlers would try to keep up, hats flying, as "Ralphie" would run around the field and slam full-speed into his U-Haul trailer.

Neyland is the best, no question.

I can proudly say that I am UNDEFEATED on the road with the Vols. I don't have a terribly extensive list, but leaving Memphis, Oxford, Columbia, Athens, Auburn, and Gainesville with nothing but victories ain't too shabby. Sorry that the hurricane kept me from LSU 2 seasons ago, and looking forward to Bama and maybe Kentucky this year. . .
