An interesting bit of trivia regarding LSU Tiger Stadium; it was actually built as dormitories with a "courtyard" in the center. The reason for this was because the President of LSU at the time was provided $250,000 for construction of student housing. These dorms just happened to give a positive "side effect" by increasing the seats within the stadium from 12,000 to 22,000. These dorms were constructed in 1931 and used until 1990. After that, they became office and storage spaces until 2010. It's wild to think that, for a significant time, students used to live under tens of thousands of wild drunk fans cheering on the Tigers every home game on Saturday nights. While they're not very visible anymore with the upper deck additions, the inner bowl sideline seats are actually the old dorm buildings best seen at 11:11 when he comments about the multiple stadiums fused together.

[@JohnSmith-ys4nl]

Back when.... never enough bathrooms for all the booze relief. I we couldnt walk 'around' the stadium. Its been updated the sound system is awesome. Parking after game traffic...mmmmm . I dont bring the camper.

[@bobbynickens310]

The Governor of Louisiana was Huey P Long at the time and he couldn't get funding for a new stadium for LSU so he lied and asked for money for new "dorms". I have no clue how many other stadiums in the country have also been used as housing but it's very Louisiana for us.

[@rhettlermy8505]

Florida fan here, but a self proclaimed sec historian….Also of note about LSU: there was a game played at Tiger Stadium in 1988 against Auburn. LSU was down 6-0 and on the final play of the game, LSUs qb Tommy Hodson hit rb Eddie Fuller with a fourth down touchdown pass. The crowd reaction was so loud, that it actually registered on the campus’ seismograph. And thus, it will forever be remembered in SEC Football lore as “The Earthquake Game”.

[@pikecogrl]

A friend of mine lived in the stadium dorms in Fall of 1986. I got to see his room. Pretty cool. Ole Miss beat LSU that season by a missed PAT, I think it was.

[@Zack91893]

Life long Georgia fan here. The hedges were inspired by the rose hedges in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. They serve a practical purpose of acting as a barrier between the fans and field. The fans can actually walk at the field level, so they keep people who shouldn't be on the field off. They are super thick amongst 1.5- 2 meters. I'm not sure, the cops don't let you hang it there that long to find out. Lol. Great video. I love non Americans discovering the game I've lined most my whole life. The season starts August 31st. Maybe text to some game highlights when they come out. Enjoy! Cheers Mate!

Tennessee - Neyland Stadium has an almost 102,000 seating capacity. The field is Bermuda grass. Being that the stadium is right next to the Tennessee River we can boast a "Vol Navy"! Folks can come to the stadium via boat!! Let the other SEC stadiums boast bet they don't have a navy! Also, the University of Tennessee can boast about their Body Farm. I don't know if bodies are under the stadium, but there is a secret location where bodies are donated for medical/forensic purposes. Quite interesting if you ask me. Well, that's my input. It's OK that you got us confused with Texas. But I would have complained if you said Alabama or Florida!!! Love your videos!! God Bless

The anthropology department is in the building that serves as the base for the south end zone structure. The anthropology department at Tennessee has one of the world's largest skeleton collections in the world, most are housed in their facility underneath the south end zone. Yes - the University of Tennessee at Knoxville is also known for the so-called "Body Farm." The body farm is actually on the other side of the Tennessee River. It is a large outdoor area where they put human bodies that are donated to science through various experiments to help establish data that can be used to determine information such as time of death and other important characteristics to help law enforcement find out how and why a person died and whether the death was natural or due to foul play. For example, suppose an actual crime is committed wherein a person is murdered and their body is sealed in an oil drum. Now, suppose the barrel isn't found for years. How do they determine the time of death with any sense of accuracy. How does such a body decompose while sealed in a barrel. Dr. Bass, the founder of the body farm, started researching such crimes by replicating similar situations and doing periodic tests under controlled circumstances. In the example, the body farm scientists would take a several donated bodies and seal them just as the real victim's body was sealed. Then, they would perform experiments, testing the bodies, and determining repeatable and confirmable data that can then be used to apply to the actual victim's case, thus allowing the test data to reliably inform law enforcement as to time of death. Similar experiments are performed to examine how bodies decompose in the trunks of cars that are buried, submerged, etc. How does a body decompose after being burned or partially dissolved in acid. Pretty gruesome stuff, but it is important data if one is being accused of a crime (especially if they turn out to be innocent). And, they keep the skeletons for later studies. They will often study bones found in archeological sites from all over the world - not just crime victims. Some body needs to do this type of research, and Tennessee's anthropology department is by far the world's leading expert in this area of study. The FBI uses them regularly. And, so do other countries. Tennessee's body farm is now conducting research on such mass graves with Mexican law enforcement folks taking what they learn back to try and solve crimes being committed south of the border. Forensic scientists in Mexico have been struggling on how to figure out how to separate and ID hundreds of bodies found in mass graves after the cartels there kill bunches of folks. When the bodies are all cut up and mixed in a mass grave, it is hard to identify them. The body farm has been instrumental in establishing best practices to make such investigations bear fruit, both towards identify the victims and towards the prosecution of the criminals who commit the murders. At one point, Dr. Bass had personally trained most of the forensic scientists in the country. He was regularly called to crime scenes all over the country. My own father was a detective in the Oak Ridge TN police department and worked on numerous cases with Dr. Bass in the 70s, including a weird skid test whereby numerous severed heads were slung down various road surfaces as set speeds to determine the effects of such factors as the influence of hair, bone smoothness, and type of road surfaces. This was to help figure out whether a particular incident was an accident or a murder. My dad told me that they used not only people heads but cows, dogs, various other animals. It is a real lab that has helped solve lots of crimes. And, they are as creative as the crime scenes that they investigate.

U of Georgia has the beautiful field, a crazy good majorette and those hedges are iconic. I really liked both Miss State and Ole Miss; great, friendly people. The "body farm" is at U of Tennessee. It allows anthropologists to study decomposition, etc. It is not under the stadium, contrary to urban legend. My understanding is that it is in an outlying, very, rural area.

[@shag139]

Tennessee used to have the largest stadium until they removed some seating to create high-end/high-dollar box seating while A&M was increasing their capacity. They're still within about 1 or 2 thousand in total seating. Underneath the stadium area is what is known as the Body Farm which is actually one of the preeminent research centers on body decomposition. You might think it's weird - and I'm not saying it's not - but, the research done there helps to identify mass graves under warfare/conflict situations (mass execution graves) and helping to reconstruct murder crime scenes. So, somewhat important stuff as gruesome as it might be.

[@mcformica]

We are less than 1000 away. When Morgan Wallen plays Neyland this fall, he will top that Kyle Field record.

[@taywil8]

Yeah this aerial view is an old photo. At least 3 years old. We demoed the home sideline and added a field level club with improved seating. Plus the upper deck south end zone renovation that added the massive pavilion with a new screen.

[@Pseudowolf]

A&M students stand for the entirety of the game. (There is a whole tradition behind that but I won't go into details) The students used to stand on the bleachers, but in 2016 the school started asking them to stand on the concrete and not on the bleachers themselves, saying it had something to do with sight lines. So they still stand for the entire game, just on the concrete in front of the bleachers rather than on them. And don't worry about confusing Texas and Tennessee. It's an easy mistake to make as they are both orange, both start with "T", and starting in August both are playing in the same conference.

Auburn at one point had the largest video board of any stadium in NCAA history. Arkansas pretty much has 3 home stadiums. They usually play a game every once in a while at War Memorial stadium in Little Rock, and then a game in Dallas because of Jerry Jones.

[@L4rceny]

The bodies underneath Neyland stadium at Tennessee is true. I don't think the morgue is directly under the field if I recall correctly, but they are stored under it. The bodies that are used are donated to help students and researchers learn how bodies, in various forms of decomposition, interact with the environment. It's called "The body farm", and part of Tennessee's forensic anthropology program. I believe its around 2.5 acres behind the UT medical center hospital.

LSU's Tiger Stadium turns 100 years old this year. It's the only stadium in the conference ( and one of the few in the USA ) that is constructed of poured concrete with rounded arches - the same style of construction as the ancient Flavian Ampitheater ( the Coliseum ) and the Pantheon in Rome. One of the largest stadiums in the world at 102,000 it's renowned for the deafening decibels of crowd noise. Originally this earned it the nickname "Deaf Valley" but this has become, in common parlance, "Death Valley". The team's live Bengal / Siberian tiger, Mike VII, lives across the street in a multi-million dollar habitat with water features for Mike to swim in, cooling rocks for Summer and heating rocks for Winter, and a night house for shelter and veterinary care. Many huge plays in Tiger Stadium have actually registered on the Geology School's seismograph. Tiger Stadium also boasts the most unique mid-field decoration in all of college football - the Eye of the Tiger.

An interesting fact is that, when Missouri (commonly known as Mizzou) and S. Carolina play one another, they have to announce which state the game is in because both schools are in the city of Columbia in each state. Can be confusing.

[@faiththomas1749]

@PattolNation here are some fun facts 1. The SEC doesn’t include any schools in North Carolina ( it starts in South Carolina and goes to through the mason Dixon line ) 2. The biggest sport in all but ONE of the schools is football ( the school that is not a football heavy school is the university of Kentucky which has a 26 time national champion CHEERLEADING TEAM ) 3. Darude from Finland got to play his hit song Sandstorm during at university of South Carolina game 4. All but 2 SEC mascots are animals ( ole miss rebels , university of Vanderbilt commodores )

The remains in Neyland Stadium, where Tennessee plays, are housed in the rooms that used to be the player dormitories and used by the Tennessee's anthropology department. There is an off-site location where the FBI uses donated bodies for training on decomposing and analysis, forensics.

The Agricultural & Mechanical College of Texas was founded in 1876. It became Texas A&M University in 1948. The Texas A&M University System has the largest enrollment in the US with over 70,000 students.

[@tyreek.6815]

No it doesn't. AZU and UCF are both bigger by almost 10K.

[@tyreek.6815]

Also you should say the TAMU university has an enrollment of 70K+. The TAMU system is def NOT 70K. That makes no sense. The system is multiple schools. The actual Uni is 70K. You don't want to confuse people, esp learners. That's why I'm correcting.

[@kakykall]

I thought TX and aTm had 70,000+ students.

[@rwtx7781]

The morgue under Neyland was for anthropology. It was called the body farm and was for study. The stadium grew and what used to be dorms became part of the foundation. They turned them into classrooms and that's where anthropology was

"The Body Farm" which is at Tennessee, is not under the stadium but at the university. It is used to tell the decomposition of bodies in different states and different situations. The FBI uses it to help with found bodies and the such.

[@AshleyDarlingAllen]

@@johnlondon1977 they do in fact have a body hold under the stadium, the farm is separate from that.

[@CFB-Traditions]

The reason Kroger Field (Kentucky) is also called Common Wealth is because Common Wealth Stadium is the stadium name. The field name is Kroger field. Most colleges have different names for the field (playing surface) and the actual stadium (seating/amenities). For example Georgia’s stadium name is Sanford Stadium - however, the field is named Dooley Field.

[@chadchadderton]

Nah not quite. The stadium name is Commonwealth Stadium but it's known as Kroger Field because of sponsorship reasons. The actual playing surface at the stadium is named "C. M. Newton Grounds"

The noise is deafing the bleachers are shaking and the athletes are among the best in the world all right in front of you. The experience is truly amazing. Go get a base you will come back for more!!

[@matthewrutledge3042]

Many of the stadiums in college football, have 2 names, one for the field itself, the 2nd for the stadium/ building. Kroger field/Commonwealth Staidum : Grant Field/Bobby Dodd Stadium : Dooley Field/Sanford Stadium

Kroger Field is the sponsored name for Commonwealth stadium. The playing surface (field) at kroger/commonwealth is known as "C. M. Newton Grounds"

The hedges serve as crowd control for teams who are not disciplined. The Alabama Crimson Tide has never needed such a tactic as our fans don't tear down goalposts and destroy other properties. There are a few others like this as well.

Sports teams will often sell the naming rights of the stadium to some (hopefully local) major corporation. The Google Earth footage of Kentucky's must have been from before they sold the rights to Kroger. Most college teams don't do this, preferring to honor a legendary coach or benefactor, so fans don't like it very much when it happens. Even pro teams' fans don't like it when it's not a local company. The Pittsburgh Steelers recently sold the rights to our stadium to an insurance company from Michigan called Acrisure. We as a city have flatly refused to acknowledge this in the two years or so since it's happened. It's Heinz Field until such time as a proper name is restored! Be that Three Rivers (the name of the old stadium), a local company like Heinz, PPG, or PNC, or something honoring Art Rooney (who founded the team).

There is no morgue underneath Neyland - its a giant warehouse - what he is speaking about is the "Body Farm" which is about 2 miles away. It is a forensic center where they study how bodies decay in different ways - think seasons, water, cars, ground, and in the ground - very interesting place.

[@rockytopted6337]

True on the morgue under Neyland Stadium. U of Tennessee was a leading pioneer in crime scene forensic sciences for many years. The researchers would use bodies that had been donated to science and replicate how different situations effected the human body...for example, they might take a corpse, put it in the trunk of a car and submerge the car underwater for several days or weeks so they could study how that might help determine time of death or decomposition rate, etc. I graduated from there, had a few classes in the student area of the football stadium. There were signs posted multiple places to stay out or off limits due to the forensics lab.

[@Dyljones12]

I never think about how crazy Bryant Denny stadium is because I’ve lived here all my life. It’s a crazy atmosphere in person.

Kentucky's stadium was called Commonweath Stadium from 1973 to 2017. Kroger bought the naming rights so it's been called Kroger Field ever since

You should do a react to Bo Jackson highlights. The guy was a monster. Legendary stories about how he never hit the gym, he went bow hunting and carried everything on his person to stay in shape. His NFL career was cut short due to a freak injury.. likely brought forth quicker than usual just because he was just so strong. Someone tried to tackle him and he pulled his own hip out of place, messing with some nerves. It's wild man.

[@jamesmarciel5237]

I was the one to recommend you react to this video and posted the link on your reaction to the Big 10 stadiums. I might also recommend reacting to the stadiums of the Big 12 as well. With Oklahoma and Texas in it, it also has some enormous stadiums. Specifically the Palace on the Prairie (OU) and DKR (UT). Though, those two schools are moving to the SEC next year as pointed out by others here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYbUnJuQhdWDfNEsi=y5dBFYXHnK_NqnK5

There's not a morgue under the field but "the body farm" at University of Tennessee Knoxville is one of the leading anthropological research facilities in the US. It has around 150 bodies in various stages of decomposition spread around the fenced in wooded acreage.

[@markreynolds2446]

Sanford Stadium (Georgia Bulldogs) was used for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games association football (aka soccer) medal rounds. The hedges were removed for the Olympics because the field dimensions were not wide enough otherwise. The United States women's team won the gold medal at Sanford Stadium. Clippings of the hedges were taken before the Olympics and grown at secret nurseries around the southeast US, then transplanted back to Sanford Stadium after the Olympics.

[@jimjohnston5719]

For Kentucky, It is Kroger Field at Commonwealth Stadium. The naming rights were for the Field itself, not the entire facility. :) M-I-Z!

[@chadchadderton]

Nope. It's Kroger Field for sponsorship reasons, but the official stadium name is Commonwealth Stadium. The naming rights for the playing surface weren't sold, it's called "C. M. Newton Grounds"

Some stadiums have a name for a stadium and a different name for the field. Neyland is named after a great coach at Tennessee, but the field is named Shield-Watkins Field for the people who donated the land for it.

The hedges around Georgia's field, serve a practical purpose, but they exist because the first football game at Georgia was played on the North Campus, and the existing hedges were a landmark used to mark the boundary. Every game at UGA is played "between the hedges" as a nod to history.
