Correction for you: <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="528">8:48</a> Vanderbilt Stadium, 2nd Home Stadium for most of the rest of the SEC

[@WDB2005]

😂

[@jayfelsberg1931]

There have been years when they had to move the UT game to whatever the Titans call their stadium to hold the large number of UT fans in Middle Tennessee that want to see the game. Dudley Field is cute, I guess, but at 41,000 seats is kinda small for what amounts to another UT home game. There was a time when it was state law that UT had to play a game in Memphis each season, mostly to meet the needs of Boss Tom Elam of Martin (home of UT Martin), a major political power in West Tennessee. Martin is much closer to Memphis than Knoxville.

Vanderbilt Stadium, home away from home for every SEC team that plays there as there are always more visiting fans than home fans. 🤣🤣🤣

[@badgerden7080]

Indeed. Vanderbilt looks like the step child of that conference. They are always the bottom dwellers in the SEC.

[@bigbossman3987]

@@badgerden7080 Prior to the SEC, Vanderbilt played in the SIAA & SIC conferences with most of the current SEC, ACC & a few Big 12 schools at different times throughout that time period. Vanderbilt won numerous SIAA & SIC conference championships in football, alone with being awarded a mythical college football national championship in 1921 & 1922. Vanderbilt was a college football superpower in the early 1900’s. Vanderbilt along with 12 other SIC member schools left the SIC to form the SEC in 1933. After becoming a charter member school of the SEC in 1933, Vanderbilt has never won another conference championship in football. That early success in football was one of the main reasons for Vanderbilt being an SEC charter member school, as the SEC was a purpose built conference to showcase southern football. That was done simply because in the early days of the sport southern football was considered as not being as good as what football from other parts of the country was. Since it’s inception in 1933 the SEC is the only conference that’s had at least one member school to be awarded a mythical college football national championship in every single decade !!! From 1904-1934 under Coach Dan McGuin ( except for 1918, McGuin fought in WW1 ) Vanderbilt went 197-55-19, they won 8 SIAA & 2 SIC conference championships in football, along with be awarded 2 mythical college football national championships in 1921 & 1922. From 1890-1934 Vanderbilt went 278-83-26. They won 11 SIAA & 2 SIC conference championships in football, along with 2 mythical FBS football national championships in 1921 & 1922. Vanderbilt had 41 winning season out of 45 seasons played. Vanderbilt produced 4 college football Hall of Famers & 12 All-Americans during that time period as well !!

People have always been able to see inside the stadium from the street at the top of the hill from that vantage point and the architects decided to preserve that particular view in the stadium expansion.

Many college stadiums look like several stadiums mashed together because essentially they are. Most on campus stadiums started out as a field with small seating areas on the sidelines. Since even Nick Saban can't play the "build us a new stadium, or we move to Vegas" card, college stadiums were expanded by building on what was already there. Often the results are a mishmash of designs based on available space and existing grandstands. Tiger Stadium actually has a more unified seating layout than Kyle Field and The Swamp.

[@jdhjimbo]

The Big House at UMich was essentially built on one foundation, easily expandable. The only addition were the suites on one side, and an upgraded press box, and suites on the other. Si ce part of it is built below ground level, it is not as intimidating as PSU or OSU, despite the nation's largest capacity and attendance, every year!

[@fishingthelist4017]

@@jdhjimbo I have read that The Big House already has the foundations to double in size. Michigan was probably one of the few schools to have the foresight to plan for that, and the result is a classic look that can be maintained into the future. The Horseshoe and Happy Valley had that look, but their recent add-ons are somewhat out of place.

[@jdhjimbo]

@@fishingthelist4017 You are correct. The designer back in 1927 took what was useless land, and dug deep into the ground to secure that foundation, so it can be added onto what is already the largest stadium. The new suites just add to the look, and MN are the crowd noise intensified. I think the Horseshoe's add-on in the south end zone is not real harmonious, and the Happy Valley add on almost looks like it could collapse, but both draw great crowds, and very hard places for the opposition to play.

They are just like Atlanta: really nice campuses and stadiums tucked inside a ghetto city. I love seeing Neyland stadium overlooking the river and surprisingly I am quite the fan of Auburn’s campus. Totally true that Sanford is largely hidden from the road, very annoying. Yes it is also true that it gets stanky hot there in Gainesville, but the campus is very well shaded.

But there were other "slimy" tricks...The stadium had been built far to the south of the main campus on some kind of "rocky swamp" in the Ozarks...So, you guessed it, the landscaping crew always had some kind of official excuse to turn on the gardening hoses for the field, as if to water it...Lots of times, that would happen in the 3rd or 4th quarter of a football game itself!...Amazingly, they tried that so often from 1970 to 1990, that whenever the OU Sooners played there, they actually practiced for it and out-smarted them...The OSU Cowboys also figured it out, so the Tigers went to the SEC where they could play with a couple of other kittens at LSU and Auburn...

I've been to several games there, and it seems like there is constant noise from start to finish.

The first time USC cane to Baton Rouge some 15,000 Tiger fans gathered out the USC hotel chanting "Tiger Bait" all night. Mike the Tiger's cage was also set up next the Trojan locker room and the cheerleaders poked Mike (it's really a girl tiger) with batons when the Trojans came out of the locker room. USC won 13-12, but they obviously had lot to talk about the way home. I can only imagine the atmosphere at Tiger Stadium, especially since in the day they opened the gates at 1 p.m. for night games and, well, it was and probably still is the biggest outdoor cocktail party in the world. My only trip to Tiger Stadium was in 1982 for a UT game. Olympian and future Raider star Willie Gault had to run a kickoff back for a TD to salvage a ttie. It was a unique atmosphere, and I understood about a third of what they were saying.

Arkansas still plays what their schedule calls a home game every year the the War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, AR which is right off the Campus of University of Arkansas - Little Rock. They used to play as many as 3 a year there. While not team stadiums, anual intra-conference anual rivalry games are played at the Jaguars stadium in Jacksonville (UF-UGa) and Cowboys Stadium in Arlington (Arkansas-TA&M). Would be nice to include any of these in conference rivalry game stadiums in the conference videos (Red River Rivalry I’m looking at you) Last suggestion: maybe also include the stadium the conference championship game is held in too. You have gushed about Mercedes Benz Stadium a lot already but what is 1 more time right?

[@jdhjimbo]

War Memorial in LR is kind of a dump! I went to the LSU-ARK game there in 2006, right after Thanksgiving. Great game, but stadium looked like a small col.ege field. I did enjoy the southern food in Little Rock, though.

[@chrissimmons8660]

@@jdhjimbo I live in Little Rock, and War Memorial isn’t a bad stadium in my opinion. At one point it was bigger than Reynolds Razorback Stadium, but by today’s stadium standards it’s not as nice. The city hasn’t kept up with it as much as they should which is kinda sad, but it still does a good job of hosting high school football games (including state championships) among other events.

[@jdhjimbo]

@@chrissimmons8660 Perhaps, "dump" was too harsh a term, but compared to all the SEC stadiums I have been to (12 of 14) - and while I did not see a game in Fayetteville (it was summer when I was there in 1976), it was a nicer stadium than War Memorial, a place I felt was a notch below the others in the conference.. I can understand the Razorbacks wanting to play at least one game per year in the state's largest city (much like the GB Packers did with Milwaukee for several years), but under the South stands, not far from where I sat at that LSU game (day after Thanksgiving 2006), I noticed Coach Miles and the LSU team outside the locker room on a concrete pad, with merely a cyclone fence enclosing it. I had my UM cap on, and was able to call out to Coach Miles, and thank him for coming up to Ann Arbor to attend Bo's funeral (he had died the previous Friday, and his funeral was at The Big House earlier in the week) - a game week for LSU - already shortened by the holiday & playing Friday as opposed to Saturday - so I thought it was a noble tribute to his former coach. The Orange Bowl Committee reps were also there, as LSU was a potential Orange Bowl candidate. I was hoping there was a way they could play #2 Michigan in the Rose Bowl, as they are 1 of only 5 of P5 64 teams Michigan has never played (TTU, TCU, ISU & Clemson being the others), and it would be a neat thing, as another tribute to Bo, that a bowl game would pit Michigan vs a very good team coached by a "Michigan Man". While I appreciated that access, I thought the setup was a bit minor league. The sightings from my seat, and ingress and egress were all fine. I am a fan of old, and it was not really crumbling or uncomfortable, just not real polished. The Hogs fans were great, and I enjoyed their "Pig Suey!" chants after a big play or Arkansas score. I always enjoyed Frank Broyles when he was the color man with Keith Jackson (my all-time fave) on ABC. I thought it would have been neat to see him on the sidelines in Fayetteville (also liked that all the graduates from Ark have a paving stone on campus, commeomorating their graduation year - something I have never seen at any of the other 100+ campuses I have visited!) I was young, but do remember the 1964 National title Razorbacks, and thought the annual classic vs TX in the SWC days, was one of the better games of the season, before ARK joined the SEC West, a division that has been hard for them to compete in. I think Jerry Jones was on that 1964 team. I enjoyed the postgame meal at a southern seafood place, with a great, friendly waitress and other patrons, in LR, before I drove back to Memphis - my base - as I drove to Oxford, MS on Saturday for the Egg Bowl. I am sure WM is fine for HS and other uses, but just not up to usual SEC quality. Btw, I did see the Hogs in ATL vs FL for that SEC title game, but unfortunately the Gators prevailed, allowing them to play OSU for the nat'l title, as UM would have gotten the rematch with the Buckeyes, a 3-point loss to them, being our only blemish. I remember the great Arkansas running back, Darren McFadden,, who was a real force of nature - both vs LSU, and in that title game vs Florida.

[@chrissimmons8660]

@@jdhjimbo Wow, you have seen a lot. I can only hope that one day I can see as many sites as you have. The thing about War Memorial is it’s not an SEC caliber stadium, not anymore at least. It was never Arkansas’ main stadium, but it did become their home-away-from-home so to speak. Like I said before, the city doesn’t put enough money into renovating it, so it can’t stay on par with other major stadiums unfortunately.

[@jdhjimbo]

@@chrissimmons8660 I figured that was the case, as the revenue from HS games and 1 or 2 Arkansas games per year is not enough to keep it in tip-top condition or for a major renovation. Since Fayetteville is pretty isolated, I do understand them wanting to play at least 1 game a year there (LSU is a good opponent, since it is a neighboring state, and the battle for the Arkla Boot, pretty guaranteed a sellout - I had to buy my seat for $100 from a scalper). I assume many Razorback alums live in Little Rock. Where does Arkansas-LR play their games? I realize the Sunbelt is not the SEC, but I would assume some local interest. I was fortunate to get a lot of my cfb games in, all across the country, before seat licenses and really high ticket prices kicked in. I have lived in the footprint of 4 of the P5 conferences, so that gave me access to all league stadiums. Since I never lived in the Big 12, I have only seen games at KSU (had a good friend & his wife that lived in Junction City, KS for awhile, so set up a visit that coincided with an October game with Colorado). I saw 3 former Big 8 teams (Neb, Mizzou and Colo) before they switched conferences, and have seen Okla State, Baylor & A&M when they played at Michigan, but not their home stadium, as well as Kansas, when they played at Toledo several years ago. Have been to Austin, Ft Worth, Norman and Stillwater, and Ames (just not in football season), and WVU, when they were in the Big East, and at a Gator Bowl game 20 years ago or so. UM has never played TTU (1 of only 5 P5 schools - 3 in the Big 12 with TCU & ISU being the others - and LSU & Clemson). I went through Lubbock in 1976, but it was summer. My favorite visiting stadium for scenic location is Husky Stadium in Seattle, a town I lived in for 5 years, so went to several Washington games (Rose Bowl is pheomenal, though I am 0-6 live, when UM plays there - also have seen a few UCLA games there). For great fans, I will take Penn State and TN, and the most intimidating for visitors is easily Death Valley in Baton Rouge - home of LSU's Geaux Tigers! For lack of atmosphere, I will take Duke and Wake Forest (feels like Junior College), and for mean, unsportsmanlike fans, Ohio State easily takes the cake!!! I have been there for games not involving Michigan, too, so their reputation supersedes the opponent! In the B1G, Illinois takes a close 2nd for bad sportsmanship fans - and they never win anything in football! I have seen MLB in all 31 cities (current + MTL), but 9 cities have a newer stadium I have not seen live. PNC and AT&T are my favorites of the new, but will always have a special fondness for Fenway & Wrigley, and Tampa is the only ugly one now, though the Metrodome and Kingdome were bad before (baseball & football do NOT belong indoors!), along with Shea, which I referred to as the Noisy Toilet!
