British Guy Reacts To SEC Football Stadiums RANKED!

[@vinerwe]

LSU history lesson. Governor Huey Long wanted to build the football stadium but the state legislature at the time wouldn’t give the money to do so. So instead he said he wanted to build dormitories for the students and they happily gave him funding for it. He built the dormitories in the oval shape of a stadium. When I was a freshman at LSU in the late 80s, you could still live in the dorms under the stadium. Huey Long had a colourful history. Geaux Tigers!

[@ben3tiger]

Yeah you right ZATARAIN

[@PharmerTom4329]

I lived in South Stadium in 1966, and while getting dressed for the game (coat and tie, even if no date), my room literally shook from the pregame activities! You can imagine what it was like when LSU made a big play or scored.

I’ve never seen your channel, but since you are now a UT fan, I will say it makes me happy to know there’s another Vol fan out there, and also I will warn you, it can be difficult lol. I’m hoping the team is on the up and up, but there were many hard years to be a fan. As far as how intense Neyland can be, I know other stadiums in the SEC and across College football can be intense, and I won’t knock them. But I’ve walked out of Neyland before, and my ears rang for days. I’ve been there when it’s so loud you can scream to the person next to you and them never hear you. My favorite part, is getting there early, and having seats in the lower bowl, and just looking at the tower of stands around you. And all the traditions associated with game day before you ever get inside. But either way, hope you get to make the trip to Knoxville someday to see a game in person!

[@youreverydayhellknight4257]

With the LSU description, I mean to give context. LSU vs Auburn, 1988, Eddie Fuller's game winning touchdown registered on the seismograph at the LSU Geology department. This year in May there was also the Garthquake, of which I was part of. And a few weeks ago, I got to experience two earthquakes on back to back plays. First Jayden Daniels scored a touchdown in overtime on one play, then Mason Taylor scored the game winning two point conversion. Both registered as earthquakes in the Geology department again. Best LSU game I've had the pleasure of seeing in person. So there's your context on Tiger Stadium. It's also known as Death Valley.

[@razormc954]

11:57: Some background as a Gator fan. Yes, Gatorade WAS invented at the University of Florida for the football team, and to this day, the University still recieves royalties from it's sales. And The Swamp is well known for giving the Gators one of the biggest home field advantages there is, not just the heat and humidity either. But the fans in attendance are LOUD, so loud in fact, the crowd noise was once recorded at 115dB, just shy of the pain threshold. Part of the noise is the 90,000 fans on gameday, another reason is the stadium is built in a sinkhole, and the stands are steep, trapping in noise. Those two factors gave the Gators over a 20 year span a record of 113-13 at home, best in all of college football

[@christopherconard2831]

When they enclosed the end zone, turning it from a horseshoe to a bowl configuration the noise got out of control. Games had to be stopped because apposing teams couldn't hear the quarterback. Referees penalized the Gators, but this just made the fans louder.

[@danielmathis5410]

I don't see how it gives/gave them a home field advantage. They have been pathetic at home for 20 years. They even lost to a lowely Georgia Southern at home. Your'e a joke of a historian.

[@paulstroud9686]

What I think you would enjoy is that Tennessee fans sings Rocky Top before or during their games and Texas A&M fans sing The Aggie War Hymn between the third and fourth quarter which has have the stadium swaying back and forth at the beginning of the fourth quarter. For a British guy, its like seeing Liverpool singing You'll Never Walk Alone or Man City singing Blue Moon. But I'm pretty sure A&M has been doing longer....because the songs Rocky Top, You'll Never Walk Alone, and Blue Moon hadn't been written yet and The Aggie War Hymn dates back to World War I

[@wtk6069]

Florida with "Won't Back Down" is pretty awesome, and I'm not a Florida fan (but I am a Tom Petty fan). Kentucky supposedly flirted with the idea of "Blue Moon of Kentucky" done like the faster Elvis version, but it never happened. That would have been killer, though. Tom Petty had a great cover of that one too, come to think of it.

[@philipjohnson7549]

As an Aggie (Class of '95), to feel that stadium sway with 105k fans on a big game day due the War Hymn is a unique experience for sure (now, if we could just forget this sorry last season, it would help). Death Valley at night by all accounts is its own experience, and I am still wanting to go that. Tennessee getting back to good again and that Bama game was electric. The Ags spent hundreds of millions to get Kyle Field where it is (and of course, can't forget the 12th Man tradition. Why the student section stands the entire game! Whoop!!)

[@gracielynn9623]

The funny part is, most of the stadiums with capacities under 80,000 have actually held, at times, up to 20,000 over their listed capacity. Even Neyland Stadium for the Tennessee Volunteers managed to fit in over 109K for a game once.

[@nickpapageorgio8529]

Lsu sells out 100+k literally every game and has for years now

[@aepage22]

Tennessee replaced bleachers with more luxury seating and a second Jumbotron. It’s not like they fit in an extra 7000 fans.

[@rogergoddard2153]

The reason Tennessee had to reduce down from 109K was mainly due to laws that required handicap access. Before, they just kept finding ways to increase seating. However, fans were packed into seats like sardines. And many had larger than average butts.

[@sectruth1457]

Just found your channel and I really enjoyed this video. I'm a huge Alabama and SEC fan and this video was nice and relaxing to watch. I've only been to 6 of the stadiums, but I think Tennessee's stadium in Knoxville is perhaps the nicest. It used to seat over 106,000 and was outdated in areas, but they updated and renovated parts which made the seating slightly less. It's also the scenery around the outside that adds so much to the beauty. It's next to the Tennessee river and in a decently- sized downtown and the backdrop to the east is the Smokey Mtns which is incredibly beautiful in my opinion. I don't enjoy the stadium if Bama loses there though lol

[@SamOfTheSmokies76]

As also a Bama fan, Neyland ain't shabby. But also Mt. LeConte, one of the highest mountain in the smokies, they said you could see the fireworks from Neyland Stadium when they scored a TD all the way from the top of LeConte which is like 30+ miles. I'd actually like to see that, really cool

Trivia about The Swamp. When it was expanded there was a delay in construction because of the large colony of bats living under the stands. There were several attempts to relocate them to a specially made bat house nearby. But the bats kept moving back. Eventually they figured out that they should trap the female bats first. The rest of the males quickly followed them to their new home.

[@katarh]

Sanford Stadium has a similar issue - a creek was rerouted to pipes underneath the stadium, and there are now endangered bats living down there. It means we'll never be able to excavate much deeper in that area unless we can come up with a solution like y'all figured out....

6:00 That aerial shot of Faurot Field at Mizzou is old and outdated, and does not include any of the upgrades made in the past few years. That entire south end is now a completely new structure that has new locker rooms, team offices, training facilities, luxury suites, bars/clubs, etc. And the 61,620 is the # of reserved seats, but Faurot has tons of UN-reserved areas to watch from (the whole north end) so the real capacity is more like 70,000

[@surferzapper20]

Gamecock fan. Honestly, the main contrast between Williams-Brice and most of the other large stadiums in the SEC at first glance is that the construction of W-B is a bit more open-air as opposed to the closed-in design of the others; in the latter cases, the intimidation comes from the crowd feeling as though they're right on top of you. But once you're inside the stadium at W-B, especially for a big game, the intensity of the crowd is almost unmatched. Watch a few videos of Gamecock fans on gamedays while "Sandstorm" or "2001" is playing over the speakers.

Sanford Stadium is extremely old and replaced Sanford Field (1911) that had wooden bleachers with a real, concrete stadium designed with hedge rows and in such a way that expansions could better occur after 1929 and keep hedges part of the classical design of that era. The hedges had been there nearly 70 years but the Olympics needed them removed so they all got replanted in 1996. ☹️ The stadium has a bridge that people could see the game from but due to security and changes and expansions it is not the same as once was and the open area behind the scoreboard honors that bridge and the views it once had when the school was smaller and original Tate Student Center that has also been changed and expanded a whole lot. UGA is technically the oldest state/public chartered school in nation and based on private and once religiously affiliated New England schools like Harvard and Yale, our first rivals and also Bulldogs. (We are also half of the oldest standing rivalry in the South for Football against Auburn University. ) 1785 is old for USA but to a Brit seems young I'm sure. To be fair though I think University of Virginia had actual students and buildings before UGA, so is more the real first state, non private, university in the nation and that's still technically the South but I am going off things I learned over 30 years ago so best to Google it. Lol. It's an understated elegance based on older architectural aesthetic and the school has grown upwards and outwards a huge amount in the last 100 years! The color always comes from the fans and we tried having blackout games since we are red and black but those games didn't go well after the first amazing one, so fans mainly wear red.

[@EliteGameDesign]

I'm biased because I'm a Forida fan, but I would rank Ben Hill Griffin Statium #1. I admit Tiger Stadium (LSU), and Neyland Stsdium (Tennessee) have equally valid arguments #1. Both are very intimidating atmospheres. All 3 are known among the toughest places to play in college football. Although not the largest stadium in the SEC, it is built to reflect sound and is one of the loudest. Almost every game sells out, and Florida previously held one of the longest sellout streaks at 137. There is a sign over one of the concrete walls inside the stadium that says "Work 'em sillly, Gators!" It's not actually part of the stadium. A student wrote that on a bed sheet last minute before a game decades ago and it became popular and he or someone else has brought it to every game since. It was in the video games when they made them. In recent years, the fans sing Tom Petty's "Won't Back Down." Tom Petty was from Gainesville, where the Gators play. When the Gators score, it's not so much an applause as it is an eruption. Texas, and Oklahoma are joining the SEC ( I think in 2025). I know fans of other teams can give you details and make strong arguments for their stadium as well, and I'm not saying they are wrong. I just think these are the sorts of details you are looking for that was missing from the compilation.

[@wtk6069]

As a Kentucky fan, the most impressive visiting stadium for me is A&M because it's an experience that every SEC fan should have at least once. The Aggie Band and Yell Leaders come across more like an ROTC. Second after that for me would Neyland. When I was there, it was getting a bit run down, but it was still impressively big. I hear they've spruced it up since. I haven't been to Tiger Stadium, but I want to go, it's just Kentucky plays LSU so infrequently with current scheduling. The best new SEC tradition is indeed the singing of "Won't Back Down" at Florida, but I'm biased as a Tom Petty fan from way back.

The students don’t sit at A&M’s Kyle Field. That is why only one side has seat backs. Those are for the older former Aggies.

it's something else when on saturdays in the fall ; these stadiums will be filled with passionate fans

At Faurot Field at Mizzou, the big M is leftover stones from the original stadium construction in 1926. Seniors get to take a stone with them after their final game at the stadium…if they win it.

[@ashstunes6642]

Kyle Field has the intimidating crowd, beautiful exterior, capacity and absolute intimidation factor. Tiger stadium might be tougher or louder to play at, some schools might have a more ornate design, and some are bigger. But Kyle has the blend of all 3. Gig ‘Em 👍🏼

That sky in the University of Kentucky game photo is absolutely real. A bit of background on the Revolutionary soldier nicknamed the "Fighting Gamecock": His name was Thomas Sumter. The city named for him, Sumter, SC, is about an hour southwest of Columbia, the state capital and the home of USC. The high school there, Sumter High, also uses the Gamecock as it's nickname and mascot. If you didn't get the "hedge fund" comment, it's not just dealing with money for the hedges. So much money comes into these schools specifically for the football program. For Georgia, we're talking hundreds of millions of dollars just from revenue made from the season. And then boosters give the school millions more.

[@rachelgates509]

You are a good man for defending Neyland stadium! I don’t know what his problem was! College football is way better than the NFL in my opinion. It’s the difference between the World Cup and Barclays premier league. Sure the players are better in the pros but the games are wild and much more unpredictable game to game in college! You know, except for those one or two teams that always effing win!

[@tommyhaynes5017]

In college, only a very very few play indoors. They’re typically not real big or popular schools, with the exception of Syracuse. The NFL on the other hand is basically trying to go all indoors/dome stadiums.

[@NautiParrot]

I agree. Neyland Stadium is insane. So much fun there. I've been to 8 S.E.C. stadiums in the past, but nothing compares to what I've experienced in Knoxville Imo.

It was a bit run down the last time I was there a few years back, but it's still very impressive with the sheer size.

Mizzou's Faurot Field (name used to be changed to FAROUT Field at Homecoming) used to seat 72,000, but they demolished the 10,000 seat south endzone to build team facilities and upgraded seating for 4,000 ($100,000,000). The stadium has been nicknamed "The ZOU". In the late 70's-early 80's they used to cram up to 75,000 fans into the facility. In the 70's the stadium was truly "FAROUT"!

[@sherryarflin726]

The SEC is the best conference in college football. LOL…you’ve just picked Tennessee as a team to watch…… the stadium isn’t much to look at. Yeah, the swamp is not fun to watch a game. The heat can be oppressive and drinking beer before the games is a really bad idea… you’re right being in the boxes takes away from the whole experience. The fun is in the stands. Great video!!

[@amandachilds5290]

Teams not used to the humidity of the South and need more conditioning are sucking wind forth quarter in the swamp! Thata a huge home advantage but hey that's part of the experience just like high altitude in Colorado or blizzards and gusty conditions of upper Midwest in November. US is very big and diverse.

[@sherryarflin726]

Amanda Child’s, I hear you !!! LOL, hey I’m all for home field advantages.

[@amandachilds5290]

@@sherryarflin726 yeah as long as it's basically fair. Do you know the main reason we have Sanford Stadium at UGA was because we always went to Atlanta when we played GA Tech each year because our field was too small and they wanted ticket money but Tech would win games they shouldn't because it was their home field advantage. We were always about the running backs here at UGA even then and apparently tech watered the field overnight before our game and made it hard for running backs and that was last straw... Money raised and our first game against them in OUR 30,000 stadium was a UGA blowout and we never looked back and our stadium kept growing. Lol. Honestly it felt similar when we went to play Florida in Jacksonville after a while giving up home field every other year. Still feels like an away game but at least you guys didn't soak a field for an advantage!!!! You had by weeks for years before that game and once we took them too the record started to even out better from a Dawg perspective. Lol. But the Swamp is just God's gift of water to the atmosphere and totally fair. Whoever y'all beat early this year from out of conference were dying and just couldn't keep up ...sucking wind. I told my son before that game you'd guys win because I looked up the weather and humidity and knew that team wasn't prepared thought they were ranked higher. We laughed when we turned it on in 4th quarter and he said wow you were right look at how sweaty they are! Sorry y'all had a not so good year but I think it will turn around in a year or two with new coach. Just don't get so good when you play us at the Cocktail Party. Lol

[@sherryarflin726]

Amanda Child’s, Georgia is in my top five favorite teams. Unless they’re playing South Carolina, I’m betting on UG. Here’s to watching them take the National Championship!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻…Come on, we know it’s gonna happen. UG is to good not to and besides I love a sure bet !! Take care and have a great time whether you’re headed to the game or watching on tv.

[@amandachilds5290]

@@sherryarflin726 thanks and I am always SEC too and then cheer for teams from Georgia since born here and went to UGA, but for basketball it's all Duke baby and has been since I was 13. I was very glad for SCar to have such fun last games and beat Clemson! I lived on HHI for a while and happy to see them be fly in someone else's ointment for a change as when you had Spurrier he messed up a few chances for UGA to go for it all when we were very good under Richt. I really hope my Dawgs do it for themselves, the state and SEC and poor Mark Richt just announced he has Parkinson's so we need a moment before the next game to pray for him and his family. Have a blessed day and love to find another lady who loves and knows football.
