My vote goes to Neyland for overall size, atmosphere, tailgating, and tradition.

only been to a few and of the few i would have to say Jordan-Hare Stadium. Game Day experience and atmosphere cant be beat.

Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy
Neyland? NOPE.

Neyland is ugly as hell on the outside, it's crowded like sardines, the atmosphere is, well...can you listen to Rocky Top 523908534267 times? After you do, then tell me about that atmosphere.

Ole Miss is known for their tailgating, but that imo has nothing to do with the stadium as a whole.

As for best stadiums, divided in categories...here they are.

Nicest Looking - Reynolds-Razorback Stadium, Arkansas
It's what $120 million can do for a stadium. Absolutely magnificent design, with stunning display of brickwork and in glass. Over 9,000 luxury seats, 7500 more than any other SEC stadium. Indoor club members are waited on during the whole game. Outdoor club members even eat in a nice AC/heated indoor suite area. Concourses are very wide so it's not crowded, and bathrooms are aplenty. And let's not forget the largest JumboTron in the Western Hemisphere. Frank Broyles said that if Arkansas couldn't be the largest stadium, it'd be the nicest one. Most will tell you, it is.

Game Atmosphere - Tiger Stadium, LSU
They set off the friggin Richter scales there. A night game in Baton Rouge is as loud as they get, easily.

Tradition - Bryant-Denny Stadium, Alabama
Just ask a Crimson Tide fan about their tradition, even the youngest of Tide fans are aware of their legacy on the gridiron.

Ummmm excuse me??? You all are biased and so am I but you can't forget the SWAMP!!! I've never been to any other SEC stadiums but I'd love to visit Neyland. All though, those pumpkin look-a-likes would scare the crap out of me.

OK, I have been to several stadiums (Ole Miss, Miss State, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Vanderbilt) and this is how I feel.

Tradition - definitely Bama
Loudest - The Swamp
Drunks - Ole Miss...they threw their empty 1/5th on the field in the 3rd quarter (back in '93)
High School - Vanderbilt (obviously, guess I could add Miss State to this one also
I don't have much to say about Georgia's, but I did love their campus.

I'm really proud of what we've done to it, it's truly a first-class facility.

That is a beautiful stadium. I'd like to see any of you present a stadium that looks better than Razorback.

Neyland and Florida are neck-and-neck, IMO. There is nothing better than Saturday night in the fall @ Neyland, save for maybe Saturday night in the Swamp. For the record, I have been to both. Carolina has a nice stadium, but the gameday experience is not quite that of Knoxville or Gainesville. Commonwealth Stadium is nice, but it would be better if they had a team to go with it, year in and year out. I hear Baton Rouge is crazy on a Saturday night. I wouldn't know. I've heard stories about Athens and Starkvegas, neither too flattering.

I know this is aobut SEC stadiums, but I gotta say that the ND trip last year was the best road trip I've ever been on. the stadium is simple, but has a lot of mystique. Not a bad seat in the house, either. Of course, that's easy to say when you sat on the 50 yrd line!

Size: Neyland

Atmosphere: Jordan-Hare

Volume: Death Valley

Tailgating: Vaught-Hemmingway

UpNComing: Reynolds-Razorback

Overall: Gotta go with Jordan-Hare

It has been said before by many visitors, that for combination of size, beauty and atmosphere, Jordan-Hare ranks among the nation's best. I believe it. War Eagle!
