I have been to only Clemson's Death Valley and USC's W-B stadium. USC's W-B wins choosing from those two (NOTE: Huge USC Bias).
I have also been to Ericsson Stadium which is home to the Carolina Panthers. (Best I have seen) :)
BTW, I have been to Turner Field in Baseball - It is the best pro baseball facility in the south.

Vandy's Stadium is pretty nice. Kinda like old Fulton County when the Braves stunk. You can sit anywhere.
Ben Hill Griffin is nice. (UF)

No joke! I've heard a lot of people buy tix in the upper corners of the stands but get to move down and sit right there next to the field.
Commonwealth Stadium in Cat-land is another nice one. Haven't been since they expanded it though.

I thought Auburn was really nice and I would have to throw in Florida as well.

The only other SEC house I've been to is Sanford, & it's awesome.
I've been to quite a few ACC stadiums. Clemson's solid. Kenan's nice from a scenic point of view, but it lacks the football atmosphere. Carter-Finley was a dump, but they're making steady improvements, & once they expand I think it'll be a good one.
I was really impressed with UVA's stadium. Not that big, but still a decent enough size to get rowdy, & I liked the way they have it bowled in.

Gotta agree on UF's stadium. It's pretty nice but mainly due to the scenery.
Carter-Finley in a dump.
Went to Washington's in Seattle once, damn nice. It does actually sway.

UVA's was very nice last year as was UK's...
Been to Sanford (UGA) in the past and it is nice also
Klemteksux stadium i do not care for... the main reason is when i get tix there, i am in the upper deck... it is about like climbing a scaffold to get to your seat and then you think you are watching the game from the adjacent county...
as a side note, went to Nebraska when we played them in the mid 80's... always watched NU play on tv as a kid and the stadium looks so impressive... in person it was a DUMP!!

I like Florida Field, and the new skybox/press level expansion is going to be magnificent. Kentucky is a nice, clean stadium with plenty of room to get in and out past people without disturbing them.
Tennessee has nothing to offer the average spectator except cramped seats, no room to get in and out, and in some sections, only one way in and out of the row you are on. They actually have walls in between some sections. Only the scoreboard and sheer size of the place make it noteworthy.
Sanford Stadium is a beautiful venue, especially in the evening. The concourses aren't nearly wide enough; and parking in Athens is a nightmare. But Sanford Stadium is a great place to see a game.
I agree with Drake that UVA has done a first-class job expanding and modernizing their stadium. It is outstanding.
