Top 14 SEC Stadiums

The other day I read an article on bleacherreport.com ranking the 124 top college football stadiums from top to bottom. It was a very good read and I highly recommend it, but I felt like a few of the stadiums were missed ranked. Now I'm not going to take the time to try to redo all 124 stadiums, but I thought I would give a shot at the 14 top in the SEC.

Top 14 SEC Stadiums

14. Vanderbilt Stadium: Vanderbilt

It only seats 39,790 but Vandy is in the process of adding a small grass hill to the open end zone, which will give it a more welcoming family feel.

(Bleacher Report ranked it 11th best in the SEC)

13. Vaught-Hemingway Stadium: Ole Miss

Seats 60,850 and is almost fully in closed. If you was ranking tailgating at a stadium then Ole Miss might be number 1 with the grove, but the stadium is not very intimidating, and Ole Miss has never had much of a home Field advantage. 

(Bleacher Report ranked it 9th best in SEC)

12. Faurot Field: Missouri

seats 68,349 it has a grass hill end zone with a signature block M painted on it. I don't know a lot about the atmosphere here, but they seem to get loud when playing teams like Oklahoma.

 11. Commonwealth Stadium: Kentucky

 Built in the 70's it's one of the newer SEC stadiums, and it holds 67,606 which isn't bad, but it lacks anything special; very cookie cutter

10. Davis Wade Stadium: Mississippi State
Only seats 55,082 but can sound much louder because of the cowbells. I've always thought of it as a glorified high school stadium, but the cowbell tradition pushes Davis Wade up into my top 10

9. Williams-Brice Stadium: South Carolina
It's a large stadium holding 80,250 and under Spurrier has seen some upgrades and has started becoming a real home field advantage, but from my understanding it still shows it's age.

8. Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium: Arkansas
the 76,000 seat stadium might be one of the most unique stadiums in college football, with the large field house and huge 50 yard wide video board. It's known to be a very loud, and rocking place. The only thing keeping it out of the top 5 is it's size.

7. Kyle Field: Texas A&M
It's on the upper end of the SEC in seats at 83,002 and is known as "Home of the 12th Man" Kyle Field with it's 3 huge decks always looks massive and loud.

6. Neyland Stadium: Tennessee
It's the biggest in the SEC at 102,037 and beautifully sits right on the river home of the Vols Navy. It is double enclosed and if I was making this list in the late 90's Tennessee would be in the top 3 SEC stadiums, but over the past few years the Vols have lost there home field advantage.

5. Sanford Stadium: Georgia
It's a very large 92,746 seat stadium where games are played "Between the Hedges", but at the end of the day I've always felt that Sanford wasn't a place to be feared.
(Bleacher Report ranked it 2nd best in the SEC)

4. Jordan-Hare Stadium: Auburn
"The Jungle" holds 87,451 and is known as a very loud place to play. It's very tradition rich with the Tiger Walk and the Eagle flyover. Over the past few years HD video boards have been added.
(Bleacher Report ranked it 6th best in the SEC)

3. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium: Florida
AKA "The Swamp" which at times can be the most feared place to play in the nation. The 88,548 stadium has lived up to it's nickname.
(Bleacher Report ranked it 4th best in the SEC)

2. Tiger Stadium: LSU
AKA "Death Valley" and at night Tiger stadium can be deadly for any team that enters it. Its no secret that the fine people of Louisiana like to have few drinks before the game, and can get extremely rowdy and at night the 92,400 can well cause an earthquake.
(Bleacher Report ranked it 3rd best in the SEC)

1. Bryant Denny Stadium: Alabama
Ten years ago Bryant Denny wouldn't have even cracked the top ten on this list, but 100's of millions of dollars and a few national titles later and it has climbed up to number one. The 101,821 seat stadium has four large video boards and is almost double enclosed.
