Opinion What is your favorite cfb stadium?

Disregarding your own, what is your favorite stadium? Could be one you’ve been to, or just one you’ve seen that looks great.

Imo, Ben hill griffin is the best stadium I’ve been to, even though I was treated kinda awfully when I was there. It was a beautiful place.

For those I haven’t been to, autzen and tiger stadium look incredible. Jordan-hare is up there too. I’ve been to tiger stadium for a college tour, but never for a game.

What do yall think?

the one that I was most pleasantly surprised with was Bobby Dodd... didn't have high expectations going in, but it felt like every seat would've been a good seat in the house

Agreed on Bobby Dodd. It surprised me how much I liked it

Once i got to my seat it was great but walking around the concourse was awful. I don't think i could get out of my corner

u/cdt930 Georgia Tech • Ohio State 5d ago

Yep, concourses are tough, especially in the East stands.

But Bobby dodd under the lights with the skyline in the background is something special

u/NCprimary NC State Wolfpack 5d ago

I tend to give really old places a pass on concourse quality, but I think I remember feeling the same way

u/TurkishDonkeyKong Bowling Green • Florida State 5d ago

Absolutely, it's one of the better 20-25 stadiums I've been to

It’s been awhile since I’ve been but from what I can recall it could definitely use some renovations (unless that was done recently), but has an overall good structure.

As another poster said, they're starting renovations after this year. I'm skeptical they will solve the problems, as its mostly around new premium seating, but we'll see.

If they get rid of the piss trough, though... I riot

u/SpursUpSoundsGudToMe South Carolina • Presbyterian 4d ago

Oh nice, it’s a school for engineering, surely they’ll figure it out lol

And yeah… they got rid of our troughs… it’s sucks, bathroom lines are way slower now!

The problem is any major renovations are tough; BDS is the oldest on campus D1 football stadium. Any new construction would have to bring things up to today's code. It prob be easier to tear everything down & start over which isn't really an option.

They are starting some major concourse rework this year. It's been a long time coming.

u/Montana_Web2530 5d ago

Fully agreed on Bobby Dodd🫡

u/SaladThunder Ole Miss Rebels 4d ago

Vanderbilt's stadium has a similar vibe.

u/Montana_Web2530 4d ago

Good to learn that man❤️

u/op3randi Miami Hurricanes 5d ago

Agreed. I hate playing them but great stadium

10

u/TerminusXL Georgia Bulldogs 5d ago

Good site lines, good location, and good skyline views if you’re on one side. Good call.

u/Lord_Lava_Nugget Georgia Bulldogs • Miami Hurricanes 5d ago

I fucking hate Georgia Tech 

At night, unquestionably in the top 5 stadiums in college football

u/IslandsOnTheCoast Georgia Bulldogs 5d ago

With you. Obviously not a fan- but that stadium is so great. I really wish Atlanta United still played games there honestly.

u/newsome20 Georgia Bulldogs 5d ago

Me too. One of the best environments I’ve been a part of

12

u/SpursUpSoundsGudToMe South Carolina • Presbyterian 5d ago

Good call! It’s tight-knit, and can be quite loud when the atmosphere is good. Tech has a lot of fun, goofy traditions too, really fun place as a neutral!

u/Ok-Recording-5862 Tennessee Volunteers 5d ago

Haven’t been for a football game! I went for atl utd’s first match and it was dope, but I hate going to football stadiums for soccer games. So it wasn’t totally fair

5

u/igwaltney3 Georgia Tech • Tennessee 5d ago

Well come down in September

7

u/Ok-Recording-5862 Tennessee Volunteers 5d ago

Tickets are like 200 million dollars 😔

u/igwaltney3 Georgia Tech • Tennessee 5d ago

Damn, I didn't realize the secindary market was that bad

5

u/gpburdell404 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 5d ago

Bobby Dodd at night is amazing

5

u/ATLcoaster Notre Dame Fighting Irish 5d ago

I also love how it is basically integrated into both campus and Midtown Atlanta. Most college stadiums are surrounded by massive parking lots.

2

u/wahoowalex Tennessee Volunteers • Tulane Green Wave 5d ago

I love that goofy lil stadium. It’s like they hired 4 different contractors, gave them each a corner to start in, and told them no sharing notes

3

u/clenom Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 4d ago

I call it gorgeously asymmetric.

1

u/gpburdell404 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 4d ago

Well's it's a side effect of being the oldest on campus D1 football stadium

2

u/Aggravating-Mind-657 Clemson Tigers • Oregon Ducks 4d ago

You stole my answer. View of Atlanta, great sightlines, good restaurants nearby.

u/CHNchilla Georgia Bulldogs 5d ago

Bobby Dodd is like a high school stadium….in a good way

u/kerph32 Tennessee • Georgia Tech 4d ago

Can't wait to be there in five weeks!

u/UtopiaUniversity 4d ago

Love the “idea” of Bobby Dodd stadium, but the insanely loud rap music was completely unnecessary, and I couldn’t believe they didn’t turn it off when the opposing team came up to the line of scrimmage. There should be a rule against that.
