Probably wouldn't say that if you've ever watched a game from the Neyland Stadium West Club.

It's actually pretty amazing.

Going to be exciting for Horn and Sooner fans next year. Traveling to away games with big loud fan bases is fun.

When they go to Vandy they can think about what it used to be like on the road in the B12.

Next year is going to be an awesome year for both fan bases. We went to every road game our first year in SEC and it was magical. Bought tickets and planned everything before JFF took first snap at QB. So glad we did it.

I actually enjoy road games as much as home games in the SEC. Maybe more.

OU in bottom half of SEC? Mild surprise.


Aggie paying the most for the least isn't surprising at all.

16. Vanderbilt Stadium




Is this the only SEC stadium where they can’t find anybody that wants their name attached to it?

LSU really should have never expanded the stadium. We can’t even hardly fill it to 85-90,000 much less 102,000+. And after halftime it dwindles down to around 40-50,000 regardless of score.


Not for the big ones, namely Alabama. That said, the tickets are sold whether 15k don’t show or half the stadium leaves before the third quarter.

Moreover, this isn’t just an LSU problem, I recall Saban complaining about the same while coaching the Tide.

Bama lost seats when they did improvements. I think it was around 103K

Last 2 seating changes went to the suite seats and to a recruiting pavilion.

All designed for more money and better recruiting results.

Other changes were for lights, sound system, scoreboard, better cell signal, and quicker food service. The effectiveness of the sound system, cell signal, and food service are debatable.

Kyle is on a whole different plane than your stadium. Get real.

Texas' and OU's vacation home (Cotton Bowl) would be the 6th largest stadium in the SEC. Everybody not named TAMU, LSU, Tennessee, Alabama, or Georgia needs to get with the program.
the swamp is going to reduce capacity to about 72,000

That’s facts! I remember when the Vols traveled to “Death Valley” and turned it into Neyland stadium south.
