The fact that Florida is even on this list makes it SEC TALK's worst thread of all time.

I would ask that the board members take note of the thread's author, for future reference.

Given your record there the last few years, I would say it's a lot less difficult. You all let Ole Miss beat you in the Swamp.

I'd love to hear your "argument." And what the hell does Zook have to do with stadiums? Nuts.

OK no problem. Here are what one could say are the top 6 hardest SEC stadiums in no particular order. Seriously, they aren't in any order.

1. Neyland Stadium - There are like 7 billion people there wearing orange and yealling at you...its tough
2. Sanford Stadium - Its never easy to go 'between the hegdes'...plus there is a very good chance UGA will bite one of your players, just ask Auburn
3. Tiger Stadium - LSU posts a dominating win % at night and after construction is finished it will hold 100,000 people (or more I can't remember).
4. Jordan-Hare Stadium - Yeah, AU was a real easy place to play at last year (or any year for that matter)...
5. Bryant - Denny Stadium - Say what you want about Bama', but to not put em' in this category would be wrong
6. Arkansas in Little Rock - the hog are 27-2 there under Houston Nutt. I'll take that percentage any day of the week and twice on sunday. Its also by far the smallest stadium on this list.

note:to further bolster my argument both LSU and AU were both undefeated last year at home. And if you think the swamp is better, as you invariably will, first look at your recent winning percentage there and then tell me which team to take off of here.

I have my disagreements with Neo, but he is definetly not a homer and I respect him for that. If anything, he is tougher on his team than he is on others.

Thank you Silver...

I don't pull any punches with any team........

I guess I could be construed as being "harder" on my own team than most.

Even though Neyland holds more than the Swamp...I think that the Swamp is a tougher place to play...and I have been to both of them.

I happen to like Commonwealth a lot...it is a good venue. Kentucky fans are football fans that are loyal and haven't had much to cheer for.

Last year, the only game that I did not attend as an LSU fan was the UGA game...I simply could not get a tix for that game. So, UGA and Vandy are the only schools that I haven't attended a game in person in the SEC....This year, I will attend the Vandy game. I have heard a lot of great things about Sanford and hopefully the next time LSU geauxs there, the tix wont be so hard to attain.

BTW...LSU's building on the west upper deck will add more lux boxes than seats...I think there is a slight increase but LSU wants more of the big bucks than having 100k seats...not sure but it will stay around the 92k-93k area.

So Auburn makes #5 because they went undefeated last year? Then why isn't Bama #1? They have a bazillion titles....

A team doesn't have to be playing perfect football or winning titles for their stadium to be a difficult venue for other teams.

Me and you both brother, but It tends to bring a lot of grief with it. There are so many fans that think your not loyal if you speak the truth about your team. Your supposed to candy coat everything and look the other way at any wrongdoing.

That's right....

I don't view the world with "garnet" colored glasses. People can say whatever they like. I'm far from being a "homer". I will cheer my team on through thick and thin, but don't tell me I cannot question a program that I give bookoo bucks to in the form of donations.
