Athlon hates us

 

[bamawriter]

Vandy at #14 is too high.

 

[Boca Vol]

Accurate write-up about Neyland. When full, it is the best in the country. These last few years, not so much.

 

[volspeach]

Neyland will always be #1 in my heart & world.. our seating capacity is a lot more than lsu or ga..
to Athlon...

GO VOLS..
GO BIG ORANGE ... :rock:

 

[Orangesmokey]

The first half of this past year's Florida game was a really great reminder of how awesome Neyland can be.

 

[YankeeVol]

I won't complain. Neyland isn't what it used to be. I think CBJ can get it back though

 

[TVA]

Vandy at #14 is too high.

Vandy would also be #14 among Nashville high school stadiums.

 

[bamawriter]

Vandy would also be #14 among Nashville high school stadiums.

Even on that list 14 is too high.

 

[lamadog]

Butch will change this and return Neyland to its rightful place! He gets it!

 

[Biopsyman]

Vandy at #14 is too high.

I thought all of their home games were like road games

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Vandy at #14 is too high.

:lol: lol:

Sanford ahead of Neyland is unfathomable. What a joke.

 

[Top Gun]

Seeing as how about a week ago somebody ranked the top stadiums in the country according to them. It included pro and college, baseball, football, and or basketball. We were the top college stadium in the country. Third in the SEC is bull hockey. Athlon needs to get a life.

 

[FLVOL_79]

It's weird Vandy is at the bottom........

Neyland Stadium > Sanford Stadium, and it ain't even close.

 

[mocfan]

Athlon doesn't get it.

 

[Rockytop1018]

Sanford Stadium doesn't even touch Neyland Stadium.

And while I am willing to admit that Kyle Field will probably become the gold standard in college football stadiums, it is not very aesthetically pleasing at the moment.

 

[GAVol]

Sanford Stadium doesn't even touch Neyland Stadium.

Anybody saying that is being a homer IMO. Sanford is a really good place to watch a game.

Really, I'd say you can throw a blanket over the top 5 in those rankings plus maybe Auburn and South Carolina. They each are nice stadiums with positives and negatives.

 

[44DivePlay]

No. Sanford is not that great. It's okay, kind of pretty. Been there 5 times. Top 4 currently in SEC are Tiger, Neyland, Ben-Hill Griffin, and Bryant Denny in whatever order you like. Sanford is right behind those. Kyle Field may pass all soon. Depends on how it works out. No way Sanford is number two if you have ever been to rivalry games at Death Valley at night, Neyland at night during a decent SEC season, or the Swamp in the heat of September.

Then again, all this crap is opinion from everybody so not like anyone will change their mind and everyone's experiences at these are different. I would drop Sanford to 5 or 6 and jostle the others ahead any way you wanted. No offense to GA, not bad, just not quite as much magic/electricity as the others listed despite being a pretty/nice stadium

About right.

The number 14 fits Vandy well though. That's the number of season ticket holders they have. :hi:

It's where they should be. Looks like they really did anchor down.

Sanford stadiums ok if you don't mind getting spit on. Williams Brice is ranked way to low also. But neyland is the best buy far imo
