Every SEC football atmosphere ranked from worst to first

Some people make a point to visit every Major League Baseball Stadium or every NBA arena. For SEC football fans, getting to each venue in the best football conference in America should be a priority.

Almost everywhere you could go from Norman to Columbia, west to east, and from Lexington to Austin, north to south, will provide a veritable cornucopia of tradition, class, and even a bit of nonsense. Few things are better than catching an SEC football game alongside a home crowd, even as a visitor.

Some places are more intimidating than others, certainly. Before even getting to the list, anyone with familiarity with the SEC will have a good idea which school ranks last for game-day atmosphere. But even in Nashville, you’re in Nashville. Plenty of worse places to be.

15. Missouri

The worst stadium in the SEC makes Mizzou a bottom feeder immediately. Everything otherwise charming about Columbia and the campus goes out the door the moment you step inside Memorial Stadium. Concrete hideousness that once was a staple of football stadiums. Now a relic.

14. Kentucky

When you’re always…
